Privacy mindshare trending upward
In crypto, privacy was once a sector that was pushed aside with statements like "it's not possible due to regulations" and "it's not mainstream."
However, the current data shows the exact opposite direction.
By 2025, projects like Zcash began to regain attention in the market based on real use and on-chain metrics, and the key keywords became not complete anonymity but selective privacy + verifiability.
And on top of this trend, @0xMiden has appeared at a truly exquisite timing.
Miden is not just another 'privacy chain.'
※ Execution structure with privacy as the default
※ On-device execution + ZK proofs
※ A model that allows privacy to be adjusted at the account level
※ Designed for simultaneous use by regulators, institutions, and individuals
In other words, it is a chain based on operable privacy, not just hiding.
This is important because, as we move towards 2026, privacy will become an infrastructure requirement.
AI agents, institutional capital, and corporate on-chain entry all face the realistic problem that "we cannot disclose all transactions to the world."
Miden is at that intersection.
Personally, I am still waiting for the Miden testnet v0.13 update.
It was scheduled for December on the roadmap, but the lack of news makes me even more curious.
Privacy mindshare is already proving itself with numbers, and I believe Miden is one of the most natural candidates to continue that trend.

Breaking News) Kaito's major upheaval is coming!
@KaitoAI will update the minimum threshold for all leaderboards.
To summarize the key points of this announcement:
1. The entry criteria for the leaderboard will reflect reputation or on-chain holdings.
2. Existing algorithms will maintain the threshold + stronger and unified criteria will be added.
3. Surface-level farming will become more difficult, while actual activity and real-use accounts will still be accessible.
4. In preparation for the increase in AI accounts, on-chain verification will be fully implemented.
5. Coordination is ongoing with partner projects, and the application timing will be announced later.
This signals Kaito's intention to fix InfoFi's 'reputation layer' on-chain.
Now the leaderboard will ask:
→ Who is making the most noise?
→ Who has actually contributed and has been proven on-chain?
Trust, reputation, and real-use accounts ↑
Farming accounts ↓
Kaito aims to elevate 'data quality + creator quality + project utility' simultaneously.
The real accounts will remain in Kaito Season 2, which is starting soon!

This month, we're going to be rolling out an updated minimum threshold on all leaderboards, factoring either reputation or onchain holdings.
This is to further place Kaito as the leading platform when it comes to quality of data, creators and benefits to projects.
Alongside all our previous thresholds and algorithm implementations - this change will enforce a uniform and stronger qualifying criteria, whilst still being accessible to those with genuine presence and onchain usage.
It also begins an important step in utilizing onchain for verification against a background of increasing AI.
We're coordinating with all our partner projects on the changes, and will update in an announcement when live!

Agglayer Post-Xmas Party Review 🎄
I arrived early before the event started and greeted Limu from the Billions team, Yura from the Sentient team, and Mudo from the Miden (@0xMiden) team, and helped with some simple preparations together.
Since we see each other often, I feel a bond as if we are now like relatives.
The venue was the Hashed Lounge in Gangnam. Every time I come here, I feel that it is a space that really suits crypto events.
The sessions were held in the order of Billions → Sentient → Miden, and it naturally flowed into why the three projects are on the same trajectory.
Billions is a ZK-based identity verification infrastructure, addressing everything from human verification on mobile to identity issues for future AI agents.
Sentient is building a reliable AGI infrastructure based on open-source AI, attempting to expand AI as a public good by designing model ownership, contributions, and verification in an on-chain structure.
Miden is a next-generation ZK rollup that is building a financial infrastructure that satisfies both privacy and regulatory compliance based on ZK. It aims to provide a privacy execution environment for both individuals and institutions.
Congratulations once again to Mudo, who has newly joined the Miden team.
There was also mention of a detailed, unprecedented reward announcement coming in the first week of January from Miden.
At the end of the session, there was a surprise gift, and I received the world's first Miden OG NFT!
They said it was given as a token of appreciation based on contributions, and it was even more meaningful as they mentioned my consistent quality writing.
After the session, I had deep conversations on various crypto topics with many community members until the event ended.
It was cold outside, but it was definitely a night where I felt the warmth of the crypto community on a year-end Friday night. The crypto community is indeed warm.
