Polygon Miden Alpha Testnet v2 Now Available, Adds More Storage, User-Friendly CLI, and More Functionality

According to Polygon, the Polygon Miden Alpha Testnet v2 has been made available. It basically adds more storage, a more user-friendly command-line

Polygon has announced the launch of Polygon Miden Alpha Testnet v2, which boasts enhanced features for showcasing state transitions in a zk-VM rollup. This testnet provides a platform for demonstrating self-sovereignty and achieving higher throughput.

The new features introduced in this version include public accounts and notes, a streamlined command line interface (CLI), SWAP notes, a note screener, increased data storage, and note refactorings.

Public accounts and notes enable developers to store account or note data with complete transparency, akin to public smart contracts on the Ethereum network. This caters to applications where smart contracts rely on the public state.

A streamlined CLI enhances the user experience by making it convenient, simple, informative, and interactive with the testnet.

SWAP notes facilitate simple atomic asset SWAPs, allowing users to create a note consisting of an asset and a price dominated by another asset.

A note screener ensures that only relevant notes are stored locally to optimize performance.

Increased data storage and note refactorings virtually expand the storage capacity to unlimited and enable the creation of notes without assets.

As the testnet progresses, the community can anticipate the implementation of a Rust compiler, a Typescript SDK, and clients' ability to consume notes.
