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.

Namada Testnet v0.13.0 Upgrade Postmortem

Namada Testnet v0.13.0 Upgrade Postmortem

Namada’s height-activated protocol upgrade failed to activate on the testnet at block height #37370 (18th of January 2023 between 19:00-21:00 UTC). This post is a diagnosis of what happened and the steps we plan to take to avoid this kind of issue in the future.

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.
