Smart contracts on Miden:

Smart contracts on @0xMiden are quite unique from what we have in other chains and this is largely because majority of the work is done away from the main network.

The contract's rules are processed in the user's own secure space. Your computer does all the calculations, creates a proof of correctness, and then sends only the final result to the network.

The network does not need to rerun every step. It just checks the proof to make sure everything was done correctly.

This approach makes contracts cheaper to run, reduces spam, and makes it easier to handle more activity. Apps can manage more detailed processes without slowing down the whole system.

Programmers can still write contracts as they usually do, but users handle the actual processing. Miden then checks the proof, accepts the result, and keeps the system organized.

This method makes the contract simpler, the network faster, and privacy is built-in.
