Miden's leaderboard has finally been released. Looking at the report card, it does feel a bit face-slapping.

By the time of the 16th snapshot, there was basically no chance to break into the top 300. But at least the top 100 in the Chinese community still had extra incentives; otherwise, this whole thing would have been really pointless. The biggest regret now is that the content output in the early stages was too conservative, and now trying to make up for it feels a bit difficult.

That said, Miden has indeed made quite a splash in the privacy track. Many projects are still in a "bare-bones" state of on-chain interaction, and Miden's privacy solution serves as a demonstration for this track. Although the leaderboard competition is fierce, from a technological innovation perspective, the project's own value is solid.
