Polygon, a leading Ethereum-compatible blockchain scalability platform, announced the launch of its Miden Alpha Testnet with new features designed to increase the appeal of its technology.
Alpha Testnet is an early release that allows developers to test and improve functionality prior to the official rollout. Key new features in the Miden Alpha Testnet include improved scalability through the introduction of new consensus protocols and scaling solutions. This could be a breakthrough for distributed application developers looking to increase the performance and efficiency of their products.
On its X page, Polygon said that Miden users can locally generate proofs of their state transitions without having to expose the state of the network.

"With Miden's zk technology, you can create what is currently not feasible on EVM chains," Polygon said in a message.
In parallel with the Alpha Testnet announcement, Polygon representatives expressed optimism about the prospects for the MATIC token's price growth. Among the factors that could contribute to MATIC's increased value, they cited improved technical capabilities of the network thanks to new Miden Testnet features. In addition, lower transaction fees and increased scalability could also attract new users and investors to the Polygon ecosystem.
At the time of writing, the price of MATIC has decreased by 4.1% in the last 24 hours but has increased by 1.3% in the last week, reaching $0.7042 per token.
This increase is not only due to expectations of new features but also to a general increase in interest in blockchain platforms that offer solutions to improve scalability and performance.
The successful launch of Miden Alpha Testnet is expected to be an important step for the development of the Polygon ecosystem and strengthening the position of the MATIC token in the cryptocurrency market. Developers and investors are closely following the latest news related to the project in anticipation of further successes and innovations.
