សេចក្តីប្រកាស Namada Mainnet របស់មូលនិធិ Anoma Foundation ចាប់ផ្តើមដំណាក់កាលកណ្តាលនៅសប្តាហ៍ Korea Blockchain

In a significant development within the blockchain industry, the blockchain technology non-profit Anoma Foundation has revealed its ambitious plans for the Namada mainnet. The announcement, delivered by Namada co-founder Awa Sun Yin, took place during the prestigious Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul, capturing the attention of industry leaders, enthusiasts, and stakeholders alike. Namada, an emerging blockchain protocol, operates as a Layer-1 platform with a primary focus on asset-agnostic privacy that extends across various blockchains.

What sets Namada apart is its groundbreaking utilization of zero-knowledge cryptography, a cutting-edge technology that enables the creation of a singular shielded set accommodating a wide range of assets, whether fungible or non-fungible, originating from Ethereum or Cosmos chains. Namada boasts connectivity to IBC-enabled chains and Ethereum through a custom two-way trustless bridge. Notably, the protocol rewards users who contribute to enhancing privacy, championing “privacy as a public good.” This novel approach ensures the preservation of the confidentiality and security of multichain transactions

Paving the Way for Blockchain Privacy

A defining feature of Namada is its introduction of composable privacy, a concept that transcends conventional limitations. This innovation allows for the seamless integration of privacy elements into existing assets, dApps, and entire blockchain networks, all without necessitating fundamental alterations to their inherent structures. Even in cases where users interact with transparent chains or decentralized applications lacking native privacy features, Namada guarantees that user privacy remains inviolable. This high level of privacy integration is achieved through the implementation of “shielded actions,” a pioneering feature that enables confidential interactions across a diverse array of platforms and applications.

Awa Sun Yin, co-founder of Namada, emphasized the urgency of addressing privacy concerns within the cryptocurrency space. She stated, “The lack of privacy in crypto is becoming an existentially threatening centralization point. In recent years, we’ve seen large improvements in cryptography, combined with a more mature and growing multichain landscape – making it possible to make the best privacy accessible for any user. At this point, making privacy practical for anyone in crypto is no longer rocket science – it’s a matter of prioritization.”

The development of Namada has been spearheaded by Heliax, a prominent blockchain research and development firm responsible for both the Anoma and Namada projects. Heliax has achieved several noteworthy milestones along the way, including the coordination of the largest trusted setup ceremony to date, involving an impressive 2510 participants as of December 2022. Additionally, Namada has successfully navigated rigorous public testnets, attracting the attention and participation of over 200 institutional and independent validators.

As Namada inches closer to its official launch, the project’s roadmap to mainnet, token economics, and genesis proposal are poised to be unveiled in the near future. These details are eagerly awaited by the blockchain community, as they will provide valuable insights into the future direction and potential impact of this revolutionary platform. The announcement at Korea Blockchain Week has marked a pivotal moment for Namada and the broader blockchain ecosystem, hinting at a future where privacy concerns may no longer stand as a barrier to decentralized financial transactions and applications.
