Polygon-incubated project Miden has raised $25 million in seed funding.  The seed funding comes from investors including a16z crypto, 1kx, and Hack VC, with backing from figures like Rune Christensen of MakerDAO and Sreeram Kannan of EigenLayer.  The round comes as Miden spins out of Polygon (POL) Labs’ Agglayer Breakout Program. Led by former Meta blockchain engineers Bobbin Threadbare, Dominik Schmid, and Azeem Khan, Miden is building a new type of zero-knowledge blockchain it calls an “edge blockchain,” according to a company release.   An edge blockchain moves most of the computing and data storage from centralized servers to users’ own devices, like phones or laptops. This approach helps apps run faster, stay private, and scale more easily, without relying on a single, congested blockchain.

Miden is currently in the final alpha phase, with early developers onboarded via its Pioneer program. According to 1kx’s Wei Dai, the project solves three critical problems in blockchain infrastructure: fragmentation, scaling bottlenecks, and privacy. The funding will support protocol development, ecosystem growth, and developer tooling. A mainnet launch is expected later this year.

The United States has imposed sanctions on a Myanmar warlord and the militia he leads for their involvement in major cyber scams, including cryptocurrency-related fraud, that have harmed U.S. citizens. U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced the sanctions against Saw Chit Thu, the warlord leader of the militia group Karen National Army. The OFAC sanctions are also against Saw Chit Thu’s two sons Saw Htoo Eh Moo and Saw Chit Chit  as well as KNA, with the Treasury Department designating them for not just cyber scam syndicates, but also human trafficking and cross-border smuggling. Per the Treasury Department, the Myanmar militia group’s transnational crimes include cryptocurrency-related fraud schemes. OFAC noted in the press release that U.S. victims lost over $2 billion in 2022 and more than $3.5 billion in 2023. On May 1, 2025, the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network identified Cambodian financial institution Huione Group as key money laundering player in the Southeast Asia region. U.S. authorities say most of the cyber scams hitting Americans emanate from the region. Huione Group, which serves as a critical money laundering conduit for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and criminal organizations, is in the U.S. crosshairs.

The laundering and “pig butchering” scams have netted billions of dollars in revenue for the criminal entities. According to OFAC, Saw Chit Thu is a key figure in Myanmar’s scam economy, with his ties to the country’s military junta helping his criminal operations enabled from a KNA-controlled zone along Myanmar-Thailand border.   The United Kingdom and the European Union sanctioned Saw Chit Thu in 2023 and in 2024 respectively.
