Polygon Miden 
Ethereum Scaling Solutions
General purpose zk-rollup
Polygon Miden is a STARK-based, Zero-Knowledge rollup with support for arbitrary smart contracts
Mechanism
STARK-based zk-rollup
Polygon Miden is layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. Miden relies on zero-knowledge technology (zk-STARKs) to “roll-up” thousands of layer 2 transactions into a single Ethereum transaction, thus, increasing throughput and reducing transaction fees. At the heart of Polygon Miden is Miden VM: a Turing-complete STARK-based virtual machine which provides a level of safety and supports advanced features currently not available on Ethereum.
Secure and scalable
- Ethereum-level security provided by zk-STARKs
- Transparent (no trusted setup) and post-quantum secure
- High throughput of 1,000+ TPS before sharding and 10,000+ TPS after sharding
- Low transaction fees: over 100x lower than fees on Ethereum
Safely programmable
- Arbitrary smart contracts written in Solidity and other languages
- Account abstractions and other features not yet available on Ethereum
- Simpler formal verification of contracts due to safe VM architecture
- Clear roadmap to privacy-preserving smart contracts
Open and permissionless
- Fully open-source and community-driven development
- Decentralized and permissionless network
- Non-custodial architecture (full ownership of assets)
- Censorship-resistant
Architecture
Layer 2 scalability solution
Fast transaction confirmation times provided by the L2 chain, while zk proofs and L1 data availability provide Ethereum-level security.
