## What it is
Namada is a Rust implementation of a Proof-of-Stake layer-1 blockchain focused on multichain asset-agnostic privacy, built on CometBFT consensus with a Multi-Asset Shielded Pool (MASP) using zero-knowledge proofs. The repository contains the node, client, wallet, and SDK crates for running and interacting with the network.

## Use cases
- run a privacy-focused proof-of-stake blockchain node
- shield transfers of any asset across chains with zero-knowledge proofs
- transfer assets via IBC between Cosmos chains privately
- stake tokens and participate in on-chain governance
- build apps on top of the Namada SDK
- earn rewards for contributing to the shielded set

## When to choose
- you need a self-contained L1 with built-in multi-asset privacy
- you want IBC interoperability with shielded transfers
- you're building Rust tooling or apps on a privacy-preserving chain

## When to avoid
- you need an EVM-compatible smart contract platform
- you want a mature, battle-tested mainnet codebase
- you can't dedicate 16GB RAM to build from source

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: blockchain, cryptography, privacy, cli, sdk
- domain: blockchain, privacy, cross-platform
