On most public blockchains, your trading patterns and investment moves play out like an open book—institutional players and whale wallets expose their strategies right there on the ledger for everyone to monitor. This transparency, while a core blockchain principle, creates real problems for serious traders who need privacy.

Miden is flipping this script with a fundamentally different approach. The protocol introduces "Invisible vaults" that let users conduct transactions and manage assets without broadcasting every move to the network. It's the kind of privacy layer that institutional investors have been asking for.

The shift matters because right now, front-running and copycat strategies thrive in this transparent environment. Whales watch each other, retail follows the whales, and the market becomes predictable. Miden's privacy infrastructure changes that game—protecting your positioning from the moment you execute.

This isn't about hiding illegal activity; it's about reclaiming the operational security that professional traders expect. When your vault is invisible, your capital allocation strategy stays yours alone.
