1/7 💫 We are proud to reveal the newest member of the Polygon family - Polygon Miden, an upcoming STARK-based, EVM-compatible Rollup!
The project is led by @bobbinth, former Facebook's lead ZK researcher who led the development of Winterfell.

2/7 We recently announced our strategic focus and $1B fund for ZK-based solutions.
Following the announcements of @0xPolygonHermez (and zkEVM) and Polygon Nightfall, we are continuing our quest to become the ZK powerhouse with our work on Polygon Miden.

3/7 Polygon Miden is an advanced ZK Rollup.
ZK Rollups are very promising, but currently, it's hard for them to support arbitrary logic and transactions, such as those happening on Ethereum.
Polygon Miden will solve this challenge using its core component - Miden VM.

4/7 Miden VM is the first open-source STARK-based virtual machine.
It has two great features:
1️⃣ Supports arbitrary transactions;
2️⃣ Automatically generates STARK proofs of transaction execution.
With Miden VM, it becomes feasible to build EVM-compatible Rollups! 🤗 💫

5/7 Today, we are announcing the first version of Miden VM, a prototype for early adopters.
In the coming months, the plan is to develop Miden VM into a production-grade VM with unique characteristics such as multi-language support and built-in privacy.

6/7 As mentioned above, @bobbinth, former Facebook's lead ZK researcher and creator of Winterfell, a highly-performant STARK prover, is leading the development of Polygon Miden.
The core STARK components will be devolved in collaboration with @aszepieniec and other
contributors.
