This week, the researchers and engineers building Polygon Miden completed a test version of the node that will manage the state of the rollup. This is what the Miden Node does and how it functions for user-generated state transitions.

The basic functions of this first version of the Miden Node are:
-Exposing RPC endpoints
-Verifying user-generated proofs
-Producing blocks
-Storing / updating the state

The Miden Node is also structured modularly, i.e., as an independent set of components that can be run in isolation or in tandem on different machines altogether.

The RPC fields and directs external requests to process new transactions, validate user-generated proofs, and retrieve data from storage.

Users can generate their own state transitions and prove them, with the Miden Node simply acting as verifier. To prevent a double-spend attack, the Miden Node reads the chain state to check that the note contained in the tx has not been previously consumed.

User-generated proofs are sent to the mempool. From there, they are batched and aggregated, and turned into blocks. Once a block is produced, it’s sent to storage and the chain state is updated.

The Miden Node + the Miden VM + Miden Client equal the testnet for Polygon Miden. Coming in Q1 of next year.

Build whatever, with Polygon CDK 🧱

@CelestiaOrg’s high-throughput, modular data availability (DA) solution will integrate with Polygon CDK, lowering the barrier for launching high-throughput Layer 2 chains on Ethereum.

The integration will enable fully onchain applications and can dramatically reduce Ethereum L2 transaction fees by ~100x. Celestia's DA solution will be available to devs launching ZK L2s with Polygon CDK as an easily-pluggable component, early next year.

ZK + modular DA. A broadband moment for web3.

Asset tokenization has emerged as a transformative force for ownership, liquidity, asset transfers, and many more use cases.

The @EmergingTechTS, Government of Telangana, has taken a proactive approach to fostering its adoption within the state, working with industry leaders like Polygon Labs, @cdacindia, @RyzeLabs, @BWA_Ind, @EuCInitiative, and @Ind_Block_Forum to launch the Technical Guidance Note for Asset Tokenization.

The Government of Telangana is the governing authority of the state of Telangana in India, which has the ninth-largest economy in India with a GSDP of ₹9.5 million and a population of ~40 million.

Announced at Polygon Connect: India, the document serves as a comprehensive guide to offer a roadmap and provide precise technical standards, catering to startups and organizations looking to get involved in asset tokenization.

How is Web Assembly used at Polygon Miden?

Some say it's “a new development paradigm for the web”. Let’s see how Polygon Miden leverages Web Assembly for its two main benefits: portability and flexibility.

Portability
The Miden VM is written entirely in Rust and can be compiled to Web Assembly. Making it portable that it can run on most of the modern browsers and hence on mobile phones (remember client-side proofs?).

The “miden-wasm” module is where the compilation to Web Assembly and its execution happens. In its simpler form, the module does three things:
-Running the VM
-Proving
-Verifying

Flexibility:
The Miden Compiler has a WASM frontend which can be used to convert a program compiled to Web Assembly to the compiler’s high-level intermediate representation.

This makes it easy to write code in high level languages targeting Miden VM.

In it’s simple form, the “frontend-wasm” package performs:
-Code translation
-WebAssembly to Miden IR function translation
-Module translation
-Sections translation

The team at Polygon Miden is also exploring how to bring key features of the WebAssembly Component Model to Miden toolchain with an aim of solving complex problems that exist currently or may be in the future.
