Namada, the shielded asset hub enabling shielded cross-chain transactions, has officially published its genesis block, marking the launch of its mainnet. Along with the commencement of staking and governance, this marks the start of the first phase of Namada’s five stage decentralized mainnet rollout. This marks an important step forward, offering comprehensive data protection and selective disclosure across the multichain landscape.
Introducing Namada
Namada is designed to enable the protection of users’ personal data when using on-chain assets and engaging in cross-chain transactions. Its key innovation, the Multi-Asset Shielded Pool (NASDAQ:POOL) (MASP), can support the shielding of user data related to any asset, enabling shielded interactions across different blockchain networks. Namada enables selective disclosure, giving users the ability to share transaction data publicly and to specific parties. Additionally, Namada is introducing a unique shielding rewards system for users protecting their personal data.
Namada introduces a suite of innovative features designed to protect user data while enabling seamless shielded cross-chain interactions:
This process will unfold in five stages, each driven by community decisions via on-chain governance. Discussions around the mainnet release candidate software, configurations, genesis block draft, and tokenomics have taken place within the Namada community forum, ensuring a transparent, decentralized, and collective approach to the launch.
The Anoma Foundation proposed the initial set of genesis allocations, including a total supply of 1 billion NAM tokens with no lockups, distributed among community members, early contributors, and future development initiatives. This decentralized approach ensures that the network’s launch and ongoing governance remain in the hands of its users.
Namada is poised to support IBC-based assets initially, but can be upgraded in the future to support additional ecosystems, with the aim of becoming the data protection layer for the entire multichain ecosystem.

Namada is the shielded asset hub rewarding users to protect the multichain. By leveraging advanced zero-knowledge cryptography, Namada enables selective disclosure of personal data, offering unparalleled data protection across assets, applications, and blockchain networks. It introduces shielded cross-chain interactions and shielding rewards for users who protect their data and strengthen its shielded set.
