According to Polygon, the Polygon Miden Alpha Testnet v2 has been made available. It adds more storage, a more user-friendly command-line interface, and more functionality. Polygon Miden is a zk-VM rollup that allows users to showcase their state transitions. This provides the idea of self-sovereignty along with better throughput than the existing solutions.
Some new features include public accounts & notes, a streamlined command line interface, SWAP notes, a note screener, increased data storage, and note refactorings. For starters, public accounts and notes allow developers to store account or note data with complete transparency. This resembles the idea of public smart contracts on the Ethereum network. It works well for applications where smart contracts depend on the public state.
A streamlined CLI—command line interface—is convenient and simple. It further enhances the state of being informative, making interactions easier with the testnet. SWAP notes represent simple atomic asset SWAPs. Users can create a note consisting of an asset and a price dominated by another asset. Note Screener makes sure that only relevant notes are stored locally. Increased data storage and note refactoring virtually increase the storage capacity to unlimited and help create notes without assets.
Moving forward, the community can expect to see upcoming steps implemented. These include a Rust compiler, a Typescript SDK, and clients' ability to consume notes.
