Privacy issues in blockchain applications are often viewed as a binary dichotomy—either fully transparent and open or completely hidden and dark. But in reality, this all-or-nothing mindset overlooks a key existence: a middle ground of practical privacy.

The Miden protocol's implementation is quite interesting; it finds a balance between full-chain transparency and complete privacy. This design allows users to enjoy the verification features of blockchain without sacrificing transaction privacy. In other words, you can prove the validity of a transaction without revealing the specific details to the entire network.

This flexible privacy model is becoming a standard consideration for next-generation blockchain infrastructure.
