Neobanks need global, programmable financial rails, but public blockchains expose too much financial data for real consumer finance. This article explains how Miden gives neobanks private-by-default infrastructure for cross-border payments, stablecoin transfers, recovery, and compliance while keeping the user experience simple.

Sempo is building a privacy-first neobank for MENA’s cross-border workers, using Miden to combine stablecoin speed and lower fees with private, compliant financial infrastructure. The product gives users a single regional account for receiving payments, holding dollar balances, sending money instantly, and converting locally, without exposing salaries or transaction histories on a public ledger.

Sempo is using Miden and Guardian to build privacy-preserving, stablecoin-powered remittances and borderless financial access for Egypt and MENA.

Qash is using Miden and Guardian to build private stablecoin payroll and business finance workflows for crypto-native companies.

LambdaClass is operating Guardian to gain hands-on experience with the private account infrastructure future financial applications on Miden will depend on.

Gateway is operating Guardian to help make Miden’s private blockchain infrastructure dependable for builders, applications, and production financial use cases.

OpenZeppelin helped create Guardian with Miden, manages its implementation, and became the first Guardian operator for private account infrastructure.

Miden testnet v0.14 ships a redesigned client API built for agentic development, a revamped wallet, programmable assets that bring practical privacy to onchain compliance, and the first live Ethereum bridge via Agglayer.

Miden Guardian makes private blockchain finance practical for institutions by combining zero-knowledge proofs, private onchain transactions, recovery infrastructure, compliance tooling, and non-custodial account security.

Private accounts on Miden hide balances and transactions by default, but privacy breaks the coordination tools finance depends on. Miden Guardian, aka Private State Management (PSM), solves this: backup, multi-device sync, policy enforcement, and compliance, all without a custodian holding your keys.

This post is for builders already building on Miden or exploring it for the first time.

How do you share control when no one can see what others are doing?

Miden was built to prove that privacy and compliance can coexist. Para now helps make that privacy accessible to everyone.

To bring privacy and safety to real-world finance, Miden needs industry-standard smart contract security.

To achieve privacy, scalability and compliance, no single piece of technology is enough; you need a stack. That is why Miden is partnering with Ligero.

The Miden team is proud to announce a new testnet release.

We just released the Miden Compiler v0.4.0 – a milestone we’ve been working towards since 2023.

If Bitcoin and Ethereum were designed today, they would look a lot like Miden.

The journey to launching Miden's public testnet, planned for Q4 2023, is moving forward steadily.

Miden continues to make progress toward a public testnet, expected in Q4 of this year.

This series of blog posts has covered an overview of Miden’s architecture and a deep dive into its transaction model, which allows for concurrent computation, client-side proving, and public smart contracts at the same time.

The future of blockchains is offchain. Blockchain is one of the most transformative technologies of our generation.
