Recently, I revisited Miden's architecture design and found something quite interesting—they've really clarified the roles of Layer2 and Ethereum.
Right now, most Rollups are still relying on Ethereum to do some of the work (via Calldata and such), but Miden takes a different approach: it uses client-side proofs and completely separates execution from global consensus. This way, Ethereum can focus on what it does best—providing robust security and finality.
In simple terms, it's about letting the experts do what they're best at, with each party handling its own responsibilities.

Oh wow, Miden's approach is truly impressive—finally someone has distinguished between execution and settlement.

Ha, it's that same old "clear division of labor" rhetoric again. Sounds nice, but why do I feel like they're digging their own grave? Whether client proofs are actually reliable still needs to be tested in the real world. Talking about everyone doing their part now, but I wouldn't be surprised if things get cut in half when it actually launches.

Well, this line of thinking is indeed clear-headed. Finally, someone understands what Layer2 is actually supposed to do.

ngl this finally hits different... back in my mining days we'd never dreamed of separating execution like this, would've saved us thousands in power costs alone. miden's actually onto something with the whole client-side proof angle—finally someone gets that eth shouldn't be doing everyone's homework lmao

This approach is truly brilliant—someone has finally clarified the boundaries of responsibility.

This approach is quite something; finally, someone has thoroughly figured out how L2 should be designed.
