Recently, I experienced 0xMiden's avatar generation feature. No matter how I adjusted the sharpening effect, it still seemed somewhat peculiar. Interestingly, this actually highlighted the project's unique positioning.
0xMiden is incubated by Polygon and operates independently as a zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) project. Unlike most projects pursuing chain speed improvements, 0xMiden's goal is more pragmatic — to build "an on-chain computation system truly designed for zero-knowledge proofs."
This is reflected in the choice of technical roadmap: most ZK projects adopt an EVM-compatible-first strategy (EVM+ZK), while 0xMiden took a different path — ZK-native design combined with an entirely new architecture. This differentiated technical approach is quite representative in the zero-knowledge proof ecosystem and deserves attention.
