Miden is a privacy-focused blockchain project developing infrastructure for compliant digital finance. Its network is designed to make transactions confidential and verifiable: users execute transactions on their own devices, while cryptographic proofs allow the network to confirm validity without exposing sensitive information. Miden also supports selective disclosure, enabling auditors and authorities to access information needed for compliance without revealing more than necessary. Its compliance features include support for the FATF Travel Rule, sanctions screening, and regulatory requirements across the US, UK, EU, and Singapore.

For financial institutions and application developers, Miden promotes use cases such as private treasury management, compliant stablecoins, and self-custodial wallets with recovery and policy controls. Guardian is its coordination environment for financial applications, offering tools for transaction-level compliance, revenue management, and keeping accounts synchronized across devices. Miden also offers a developer ecosystem and testnet releases for building and testing applications. Bread, Miden’s self-custodial private wallet, supports sending, receiving, and swapping, with earning and cross-chain features described as forthcoming.
