I read an industry prediction report for 2026 recently, and my deepest takeaway is: the privacy sector is formally transitioning from the early exploratory phase into an era of competition. This isn't merely a matter of technological iteration—it's more like a sovereignty struggle over blockchain discourse power.
In this wave, projects like Miden have already demonstrated the qualities of a top-tier player. Its architectural design precisely hits three core logics repeatedly emphasized in the report.
First is the ultimate value positioning of privacy itself. The report mentions the concept of "on-chain lock-in"—once users accumulate privacy protection infrastructure and experience on a particular chain, the migration costs become extraordinarily expensive. This means whoever establishes a complete privacy ecosystem first will control user stickiness. Miden has clearly positioned itself one step ahead on this front, considering user privacy sovereignty from the protocol level itself.
This isn't a simple functional upgrade, but rather a redefinition of the entire blockchain value distribution logic. Privacy has transformed from a passive requirement into an active competitive advantage, and the market has already made its choice.
