Miden chooses to be incompatible with EVM, fundamentally due to architectural design considerations — not targeting EVM itself.



The key difference lies here: Miden moves execution logic from the chain to the user side, with state data stored off-chain, only sending proofs to the chain for verification.

Comparing this with the EVM approach reveals the difference. EVM handles both verification and execution on-chain, with each node running the logic. These two architectural philosophies are completely different — one relies on the user to perform computations and the chain to verify results, while the other involves the entire network jointly verifying.

This is not an ideological dispute; it’s purely a trade-off between efficiency and scalability. Different design goals correspond to different technical choices.
