A New Approach to Privacy Choices: 0xMiden divides accounts into two modes—public and private—allowing developers to freely decide which data needs to be network-visible and which logic remains locally executed.

The cleverness of this design lies in balancing two conflicting needs—public accounts expose necessary state information to facilitate cross-chain coordination and consensus; while private accounts keep state and logic entirely off-chain, only publishing zero-knowledge proofs on-chain to verify transaction validity.

In simple terms, users can flexibly choose their privacy level based on business needs, ensuring necessary interoperability while maximizing sensitive data protection. This is a promising breakthrough for DApp development and privacy applications.
