Modular Privacy for the Interchain
summary
Namada provides an asset-agnostic anonymity set via a multi-asset shielded pool that claims privacy across IBC-connected chains by turning deposited tokens into unlinkable pool tokens; larger pool = greater anonymity. Users perform shielded actions—atomic external swaps that return to the pool without linking to the original account. Protocol uses a cubic proof-of-stake model with slashing and auto-compounding rewards. Live milestones: new website, incentivized testnet, and an airdrop of Nom to ATOM holders.
