Privacy-by-default might be the game changer we've been waiting for. Combining local-first architecture with client-side proving removes the friction—users get real privacy without the typical UX headache that usually comes with it. That's the sweet spot. Here's the thing about Miden: if it manages to scale properly, we could be looking at a serious contender for the default infrastructure behind consumer privacy dApps. Right now, most privacy solutions force you to choose—either better privacy or better usability. Miden's approach flips that. Client-side proving means computation stays with the user, transactions remain confidential, and the protocol doesn't bog down. It's a different playing field compared to traditional privacy chains that compromise on either security or performance. Whether it becomes mainstream depends on adoption momentum and whether developers actually build consumer-facing applications on top of it. But the potential is definitely there.

ngl miden this client-side proving logic is truly awesome, finally no need to choose between privacy and usability Wait, can it really scale? The previous privacy solutions always struggled when scaling, now's the real test Honestly, if developers really build dApps for it, this thing could become popular But it still depends on the actual TPS data; just hearing "local-first" sounds good but doesn't mean much Privacy by default is a great selling point, but the key is still having users adopt it

ngl miden's local-first approach is indeed awesome. Finally, someone understands that privacy doesn't have to come at the expense of UX. Really? Client-side proving can truly scale to mainstream application levels? I've seen too many projects with "infinite potential" end up as niche tools. Wait, if this really becomes the infrastructure for consumer dApps... then traditional privacy chains might be in danger. To put it simply, the key is developer support. No matter how great the infrastructure is, if no one builds on it, it's useless.

No hype, no negativity. Miden's local-first approach really hits the pain points. Privacy + usability is usually a trade-off, can they really achieve both this time? That said, whether it can be implemented depends on whether developers are willing to adopt it. Infrastructure alone isn't enough; there must be applications to support it. I'm still a bit skeptical about the client-side proof aspect. Can it really handle large-scale transactions? It feels like it still needs time for validation. It seems to have fewer trade-offs compared to previous privacy solutions, but the key is whether ordinary users can use it seamlessly. That's the true game-changer. Wait, can Miden truly avoid dragging down performance? If that's the case, traditional privacy chains will need to reconsider.

ngl Miden's approach to client-side proving is truly brilliant; finally, someone has broken the contradiction between privacy and usability... Wait, can this really be scaled? History tells me not to be too optimistic. Will developers follow suit? That's the key; otherwise, even the most advanced infrastructure is just a decoration.

ngl miden if it can truly handle both privacy and usability, it would really shake things up... but I've heard this kind of promise too many times By the way, is the client-side proving tech stack really reliable? I haven't seen it in large-scale real-world scenarios Hmm... it depends on whether developers are willing to put in the effort. Even the best infrastructure is useless if no one uses it Mom, someone finally hit the nail on the head. Privacy solutions and usability are always at odds... miden's approach is indeed different
