A16z leads $25 million investment: Miden redefines ZK Rollup with 'client proof' In the current era of EVM Rollup, Miden @ 0xMiden has taken a completely different path. The next step for Web3 is not faster EVM, but client proof based on ZK-VM Why do top VCs still invest in ZK? A16z and 1kx are entering the game at this time, and they are not interested in another "low gas version of Ethereum". Miden @ 0xMiden proposed a "user centric" architecture: Client Side Providing: Users execute transactions and generate ZK proofs on their own devices (local), and the chain only needs to verify the proofs Result: User data has never left the local area, and the computational burden of the chain has been shared among millions of user terminals, which is the physical basis for Miden to achieve privacy and infinite scaling Miden's technological vision According to the technical documentation of Miden @ 0xMiden, it aims to address pain points that EVM architecture cannot solve: privacy+high TPS Privacy is standard: on Miden, due to the use of a UTXO hybrid model (similar to Bitcoin+Ethereum), users can create Private Notes without anyone knowing the amount and recipient, but the process is fully compliant and verifiable on the chain Parallel Execution: Median @ 0xMiden adopts the Actor model, which means that Miden's TPS is not limited by single threaded processing capabilities, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency trading, on chain games, and complex DeFi protocols Including AI model inference, on chain gaming, perpetual Perp, and other tracks
