Namada uses the CometBFT consensus engine, which allows for the possibility of integrating the interchain-blockchain-communication (IBC) system.

Joining the latest Namada Testnet

Namada NEEDS YOU to test out the various features on Namada. But joining the Namada testnet can sometimes prove to be an arduous task, especially for a user that isn't super comfortable using the terminal and navigating the documentation. For reference, the documentation on how to setup a

A Journey Beyond EthCC: Namada and Anoma Event Schedule

A Journey Beyond EthCC: Namada and Anoma Event Schedule

The collective forces of Namada and Anoma have been summoned to partake in an extensive array of blockchain events. This grand series of engagements reaches its zenith at the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC), set to be held in the heart of Paris this July. While EthCC undoubtedly steals the limelight,

Understanding Namada Governance

Understanding Namada Governance

Governance on Namada is built with the philosophy of malleability in mind. In this article we explore the features that Namada offers, and motivate them with regards to this philosophy. We explore PGF Stewards, PGF proposals, ETH bridge proposals and more

Namada's positive sum economics

Namada's positive sum economics

In this article, we outline the positive-sum approach, first by talking about the various stakeholders and their respective interests at play. We then discuss the different ways in which the tokenomics of NAM fit in to satisfy these interests in a collective, balanced way.

Size Matters

To maximize on-chain data protection and provide the strongest guarantees to users, shielded set size is all that matters.

PGF on Namada: public goods, capital efficiency, cool graphs - pick three

PGF on Namada: public goods, capital efficiency, cool graphs - pick three

Namada protocol aims to fund public goods divided into four categories: technical research, engineering, social research and external public goods. It aims to accomplish this endeavour through two means: continuous and retroactive public goods funding.

Shaping Multichain Data Protection

Namada provides the largest unified shielded set in the multichain, complementing other chains by retrofitting data protection with shielded actions.

Understanding the MASP/CC

The MASP & CC implement multi-asset functionality and programmable asset-conversions. This article explains how the cryptography works and what other applications can be built with the circuits.

Data Protection as a Public Good

Economics Featured

Data Protection as a Public Good

On Namada the shielded set is subsidised, so that the initial users do not depend on the existence of a sufficiently large shielded set. Instead, the subsidy is programmed to ensure that no matter the size of the shielded set, there is sufficient incentive for assets to enter the shielded set.

Completion of the Namada Trusted Setup

Completion of the Namada Trusted Setup

The Namada Trusted Setup Ceremony was completed at 9am UTC on the 21st of December 2022, with no less than 2,510 contributions to the ceremony. The final parameters will be included in the upcoming Namada protocol releases and will be used in the mainnet circuits.

Announcing Namada Public Testnets

Announcing Namada Public Testnets

In preparation for mainnet, the implementation of the Namada protocol needs to be tested by as many network operators and other users as possible. To facilitate this, a series of public testnets will be launched that anyone can join.
