Namada is a Layer 1 blockchain focused on privacy. It enables users to transfer any asset—whether fungible or non-fungible—anonymously while maintaining compliance and optional transparency. Built on the Tendermint consensus, Namada is designed for interoperability, offering seamless integration with other blockchains via the IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol.

Namada utilizes advanced cryptographic technologies, such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs, to ensure privacy. Its multi-asset shielded pool allows users to send assets without exposing transaction details, wallet addresses, or amounts. This approach balances user anonymity with the flexibility to reveal details when necessary, such as for regulatory purposes.

Namada is IBC-enabled, which allows it to connect with other blockchains that support the protocol, such as Cosmos-based chains. This interoperability means users can transfer assets between networks while preserving privacy, making Namada a versatile privacy layer for multiple ecosystems.

Namada is ideal for applications that require privacy-preserving transactions, such as decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized assets, or private NFT trading. It’s also useful for users who want privacy when interacting with public blockchains like Ethereum or Cosmos, enabling private transactions across ecosystems.
