Also, Miden's standard library — a set of procedures that can be launched by every Miden program — now includes Compact Sparse Merkle trees with 256-bit keys and Falcon signature verification.

Polygon Miden goes beyond EVM limitations

Acquired by Polygon in late 2021, Miden is an attempt to move Polygon (MATIC) instruments beyond EVM-equivalence. Instead of EVM, Miden relies on its own type of virtual machine, MidenVM.

Technically, it is a new-gen second-layer solution for Ethereum (ETH) based on zero-knowledge scalable transparent argument of knowledge or zk-STARKs.

Starting from 2022, Polygon Miden has been among the core focuses of Polygon's (MATIC) ZK-centric developments.

Polygon Miden is the first blockchain that champions a new proofs paradigm, i.e., "client-side proving."
