Miden Documentation

Miden Docs Background

Miden is a zero-knowledge rollup for high-throughput, private applications. Build payments, DeFi, and asset management apps secured by Ethereum and Agglayer.

Miden is currently on v0.13 – approaching mainnet readiness for the 2026 launch. Breaking changes may still occur in some components.

Why Miden?​

  • Privacy by default – Accounts and notes are private, with the network only storing cryptographic commitments
  • Client-side execution – Transactions are executed and proven locally, enabling parallel processing and lower fees
  • Programmable everything – Accounts are smart contracts, and notes can contain arbitrary logic
  • Ethereum security – Settled on Ethereum with validity proofs via the Agglayer

Key Concepts​

  • Accounts – Smart contracts that hold assets and execute custom logic
  • Notes – Programmable messages that transfer assets between accounts
  • Transactions – State changes proven locally using zero-knowledge proofs
