this is the agentic coding tool that turns AI agents into @0xMiden smart contract developers. agents have zero knowledge about Miden by default. this tool changes that. here's how it works 🧵

Gateway guys are killing it! 🚀

building on @0xMiden before vs after agentic tooling: BEFORE → read docs, tutorials, study architecture for days → manually piece together SDK patterns from examples → steep learning curve before writing your first contract ⏱️ weeks to get productive AFTER → agent as main coding engine, you set the requirements → instant feedback loops catch errors on every edit → 11 people shipped working contracts in a single day ⏱️ prototype in hours, ship in weeks

This is beyond cool 🔥 The learning curve has been flattened!

Last week we launched the Lumina public beta. So far we’ve introduced: - Private trading - Confidential payments Next up: - Cross-chain integrations (Hyperliquid + Ripple) - Private lending infrastructure Thank you for all your support as we continue to build towards private financial infrastructure, step by step.

Building banking solutions for crypto companies 😎

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦: 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐡 𝐒 (Marketing Ops & Strategy Lead) Elijah found Bitcoin in 2013 not through hype, but necessity. As a teenage graphic designer locked out of PayPal, he needed a way to get paid – and Bitcoin delivered. He spent his early years embedded in Bitcoin ecosystem, designing for bounties and trading on early exchanges. After a stint in TradFi, the undeniable pull of DeFi brought him back in 2020. He joined @0xPolygon as an early Product Marketing hire in 2022, where his path eventually crossed with the Miden team – eventually joining full-time last year. At @0xMiden, Elijah leads Marketing Strategy and Operations, keeping the machine aligned across events, communications, and design. Away from work, you'll find him in the gym, outdoors, or deep in a film.

This week opened with news of major investment into a Zcash project and continued with confidential capabilities coming to Bitcoin: 🟧 ZODL raises $25M from a16z, Paradigm & Coinbase 🟧 Starknet introduces privacy for ERC-20 tokens 🟧 Institutional dark pool on Miden Let's explore them🧵

Launching soon: Privacy Podcast. Hear from the pioneers of Privacy Szn ! First up: @provenauthority and @pbrody Listen to our first episodes next week. @0xMiden

Great example of a fundamental truth: trying to get privacy by passing your money through a privacy system leaks information. What most people don't understand yet is that *storing your money in* a privacy system eliminates that leak.

The future of financial infrastructure won’t be built on chains that treat privacy as an afterthought. It will require protocol-level privacy, quantum-resistant cryptography, and massive throughput. That’s the foundation we’re building with @0xMiden.

This has been in the works for a while 🧭 Excited to finally open the @LuminaEngine testnet beta! We believe that financial infrastructure shouldn’t require traders to broadcast their intent to the entire network. There's lot more to build, but today is a terrifying & exciting first step. Thanks to all of our early community for their insights and feedback over the past few months.

This is one of the most advanced apps on Miden so far. Try it and provide feedback!

🚀 New Plonky3 release just dropped. This is probably our most impactful and ambitious release so far: - MUCH faster lookups - High-arity folding - N-ary Merkle trees + Merkle caps - Major Poseidon2 optimizations - Poseidon1 support - And many more… Let’s break it down 👇

Had a great time recently speaking at @EthereumDenver about why we’re still not seeing institutions adopt crypto at the scale many expected by now. I broke the conversation into four core areas that continue to act as barriers: 1. Technical 2. Regulatory + Compliance 3. Operational + Governance 4. Cultural + Organizational The good news is that we’re finally seeing meaningful progress across each of these fronts. But one issue is increasingly showing up in almost every institutional conversation: privacy. Institutions aren’t just asking whether blockchains can scale or whether regulations will clarify. They’re asking how they can operate in a way that protects sensitive financial activity, customer data, and proprietary information. That’s the problem space @0xMiden is focused on solving. It will be interesting to see where this conversation is a year from now. Despite the constant claims that “crypto is dead,” we’re only seeing an acceleration in the number of institutions trying to figure out where and how it fits into their future.

Private payments on @0xMiden Transfer anywhere. Disclose nothing. Public beta opening soon 🔥

Cash has always been private. Your bank balance isn't public record. Your salary isn't broadcast to your colleagues. Your onchain finances deserve the same.

Worried about your privacy being compromised? What does the quantum era change for privacy guarantees? @willcarrspeaks was joined by @Bobbinth (@0xMiden), @Jpandya26 (@CantonNetwork), @IsTheBaron (@hack_vc) and our own @Lodderific to discuss ‘The Privacy Stack in the Quantum Era’ during our Quantum Summit at ETH Denver Highlights 0:00 Introductions 1:55 Harvest Now, Decrypt Later 4:19 Transparency, Privacy & Compliance 11:18 Data Minimization 15:11 PQC Timelines 17:00 Centralized vs Decentralized Infra 20:34 What PQC Looks Like For Users 29:54 Compliant Self-Sovereignty 31:18 What Everyone’s Excited For

This was a good week in privacy for a few reasons: 🟧 A major @solana wallet added a privacy option : 🟧 Jolt introduces the ZK in their zkVM : 🟧 A new device that protects your private convos from smart devices Let's explore them a bit more 🧵
