Privacy and ZKVMs w/ Dominik (Miden): Study Group Session 3

Privacy and ZKVMs with Dominik Schmid (Miden)

Join us for the third session of the ETHPH Study Group as we welcome Dominik Schmid, Co-founder of Miden, for a deep dive into privacy, zero-knowledge virtual machines (ZKVMs), and the future of blockchain infrastructure.

As blockchain adoption expands beyond crypto-native users, privacy, compliance, and scalability are becoming critical requirements for real-world applications. Miden is building a privacy-focused blockchain that leverages advanced cryptography and zero-knowledge technology to enable secure, scalable, and institution-ready systems.

In this session, we'll explore:

• Why privacy matters for the next generation of blockchain applications• How ZKVMs work and why they are becoming an important part of blockchain architecture• The challenges of building privacy-preserving networks at scale• Cryptographic tools enabling secure and compliant applications• Opportunities for developers, researchers, and builders in the privacy and zero-knowledge ecosystem

Whether you're interested in zero-knowledge proofs, protocol design, cryptography, Ethereum infrastructure, or institutional blockchain adoption, this session offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from a founder building at the frontier of privacy technology.
