    🔸 Miden × OpenZeppelin 🔹 Security, standards, privacy To bring privacy and safety to real-world finance, Miden is partnering with OpenZeppelin, the industry standard for smart contract security. OpenZeppelin’s frameworks and audits secure most onchain assets today. Their standards defined how tokens, access control, and composability work across the industry. Together we’re applying those same practices to privacy-first infrastructure. The partnership focuses on three pillars: 1️⃣ Defining Miden’s fungible token standard (the ERC-20 equivalent for Miden) 2️⃣ Building a private multisig and shared-state model 3️⃣ Reviewing and auditing core smart contract libraries The goal: make privacy safe, composable, and ready to scale real-world finance applications. Privacy needs infrastructure. Security makes it real. Miden 🤝 OpenZeppelin

    A few months ago, our team developed a trust-minimized model for a yield strategy proposed to the Compound Labs DAO, aiming to balance flexibility with accountability in on-chain treasury management. Recently, OpenZeppelin published their review of our approach, and we wanted to share a quick summary and some reflections👇 The challenge: Once funds are transferred to a recipient, they can easily evolve away from their intended purpose. DAOs need reliable mechanisms to close that accountability gap without slowing down operations. Our solution: We implemented a dual-Safe architecture consisting of: ➡️ An Avatar Safe secured with the Zodiac Roles modifier, and ➡️ A Manager Safe with scoped permissions to act on behalf of the Avatar. This setup allows granular permissions, precisely defining which contracts and functions can be called (e.g., approve, withdraw, supply), including parameter ranges that keep every action explicit and auditable. In our Compound pilot, 35,200 COMP token was allocated to a yield strategy. The Manager Safe could execute approved calls swiftly, without ever having unrestricted control. Because permissions are narrowly defined upfront, managers can move efficiently within limits. No lengthy DAO votes were required whilst the Avatar Safe remains accountable if issues arise. OpenZeppelin recognized this approach as a way to reduce operational risk while preserving speed, transparency, and oversight. We’re grateful for their thoughtful review 🙏 For us, the key takeaway is that treasury management isn’t just about generating yield, it’s about designing for trust. This experiment is one step toward more resilient, transparent, and accountable DAO finance. You can read the full OpenZeppelin review here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eUnb5VRR
