1/ Every chain wants to be fast, cheap, and “secure.”
But no one’s talking about the missing piece in crypto today: Data protection.
Not just for whales or devs but for you the user.
Let me show you how @namada is quietly fixing this. 🧵👇
2/ Since Phase 5 went live, Namada now lets anyone shield and transfer assets (like OSMO, USDC, ATOM, and NFTs) without exposing wallet balances or transaction metadata.
You keep control and the chain handles the protection.
Finality in seconds, with almost zero fees.
3/ A quick explainer: What is Namada?
It’s a new Layer 1 built by the Anoma team focused entirely on data protection.
But it’s not just another privacy coin.
You can use Namada to shield and move assets across any IBC chain (and soon Ethereum & Solana too).
4/ What makes Namada different?
• One shielded pool for all assets
• You can shield OSMO, ATOM, NFTs, staked tokens, etc. into one shared anonymity set
• Near-zero gas fees
• Finality in ~6s
• And this one’s big: You get paid to shield assets.
5/ Yeah. That last part is real.
Namada’s "shielding rewards" let you earn NAM tokens by simply depositing assets into the shared shielded pool.
It’s not DeFi yield.
It’s protocol-level incentives to help strengthen the anonymity set for everyone.
6/ Example:
Let’s say you want to move USDC from Noble to Osmosis but don’t want the whole world seeing how much you have.
Here’s how to shield it using Namada:
🧾 A mini step-by-step ↓
7/ 🛠️ Guide: Shielding an IBC asset on Namada
1. Download the Namadillo Wallet (browser extension)
2. Fund your Namada wallet with any IBC asset (ATOM, OSMO, etc)
3. Use the UI to shield it into the MASP (Multi-Asset Shielded Pool)
4. Send it privately to any other IBC wallet
You’ve just transferred value across chains privately 🤝
8/ Here’s what else you can do today:
• Stake NAM (Cubic PoS, low latency)
• Vote in governance (NAM = voice)
• Earn rewards by shielding your assets
• Soon: use NAM inside apps across Cosmos & beyond
One protocol.
One shielded set.
Many use-cases.
9/ Post-TGE, Namada launched with no token lockups, full liquidity, and real distribution that's not VC-controlled.
That’s rare. And it matters.
The contributors have tokens too, but there's no artificial suppression. It’s a real, functioning free market.
10/ My honest take?
Namada is quietly building something most people don’t understand yet because they haven’t needed it.
But when wallets get tracked, transaction graphs get scraped, and your address shows up in a hack...
You’ll wish this layer existed everywhere.
11/ The narrative is coming.
As crypto goes mainstream, privacy can’t be an afterthought.
It needs to be baked in, composable, and seamless.
Namada is not just a privacy chain.
It’s infrastructure for responsible, safe web3 apps.
12/ If you’re in Cosmos, if you care about privacy, or if you just don’t want every token transfer on-chain to feel like walking around naked…
Learn about Namada.
Try shielding.
Explore the future apps being built on top (starting with interfaces like Namadillo).
This is how we fix the UX layer of crypto.
