Miden uses an off-chain state combined with on-chain proofs to directly address scalability issues from an architectural perspective.

How does it achieve this? All execution runs on the user side. The network doesn't need to re-validate every transaction; it only needs to receive a zero-knowledge proof on-chain, confirming that the execution process is correct.

This approach changes the traditional computing model—offloading heavy work from the chain and replacing repeated validation with cryptographic proofs. The result is increased transaction throughput, reduced costs, and a significant decrease in the overall system burden.

Off-chain execution + on-chain proof, this is the true scalability solution.

The uninstallation idea is indeed impressive, but whether Miden can run successfully depends on the ecosystem.

Off-chain execution with on-chain verification—this idea is truly brilliant. Finally, someone has shifted the computational burden away. In simple terms, it uses zk proofs to replace repetitive validation, maximizing transaction throughput, cutting fees in half, and this approach should have been adopted long ago. From an architectural perspective, it directly breaks through scalability limitations. It's not just about stacking more machines; this is what a real solution looks like. Wait, are the generation costs of zero-knowledge proofs really low? Could this just be a scenario shift? I think Miden's off-chain model is promising. It's definitely better than the current L2s that are congested every day.

This is the true technical approach, freeing the chain.
