# Overview | ||
Polygon Miden, a ZK-optimized rollup with client-side proving, will complement Polygon’s set of zero-knowledge solutions aiming to become the internet's value layer. | ||
|
||
With Polygon Miden, we aim to extend Ethereum's feature set. Ethereum is designed to be a base layer that evolves slowly and provides stability. Rollups allow the creation of new design spaces while retaining the security of Ethereum. This makes a rollup the perfect place to innovate and enable new functionality. | ||
|
||
Unlike many other rollups, Polygon Miden prioritizes ZK-friendliness over EVM compatibility. It also uses a novel state model to exploit the full power of a ZK-centric design. These design decisions allow developers to create applications that are currently difficult or impractical to build on account-based systems. | ||
|
||
We extend Ethereum on three core dimensions to attract billions of users: scalability, safety, and privacy. | ||
|
||
From the architectural perspective, Polygon Miden uses a bi-directional token bridge and verifier contract to ensure computational integrity. Miden Nodes act as operators that keep the state and compress state transitions recursively into STARK-proofs. The token bridge on Ethereum verifies these proofs. Users can run Miden clients to send RPC requests to the Miden Nodes to update the state. | ||
|
||
The major components of Polygon Miden are: | ||
|
||
* Miden Clients - represent Miden users | ||
* Miden Nodes - manage the Miden rollup and compress proofs | ||
* Verifier Contract - keeps and verifies state on Ethereum [Not specified yet] | ||
* Bridge Contract - entry and exit point for users [Not specified yet] |
