Privacy technology has a high threshold for ordinary users. It is recommended to reduce the difficulty of use through visualization tools (such as privacy transaction status trackers) and community education programs (such as AMA, developer competitions).

Are you talking about synchronizing the chain state (with a full node), synchronizing shielded balances (with shielded sync), or something else altogether?
i should also mention that i think Namada governance improvements will be important

I’ve just made the first steps in that matter today (posted results on both internal related post and on Discord, on Campfire testnet channel). Here’s a direct link to the Discord’s message, just in case: Discord

Thanks all for the amazing contributions here – @Gavin, @ResourceLogic, @brentstone, @dismad, @citizenweb3, @neocybereth, @Rigorous, @tokidoki, @Matteo, @hjg888, and others! I’ve attempted to synthesize this discussion and the composable privacy layer product proposition into a four-phase roadmap:
- Shielded Ignition
The Shielded Ignition phase is roughly where we are today – this phase would commence with phase 5 of the mainnet roadmap. Shielded Ignition would focus on security, performance, and reliability of the core stack (including Namadillo), making sure all core functionality is iron-clad and a delight to use. Shielded Ignition includes hard fork #1, which brings much faster shielded sync with Fuzzy Message Detection + TEEs, additional PGF convenience features, and the first basic version of the Namada Foreign Reserve. Before moving on to any further development, we’d focus on making sure the basics all work well.
Shielded Ignition would already include basic shielded actions and the tools for developers to start innovating (as proposed by @Gavin and @brentstone), and I know some folks are already working on mobile wallets too! I think building community (as brought up by @citzenweb3 and others) would be a big focus on this phase too, and I would encourage folks to “take to the PGF streets” of proposals, stewards, etc. to help make this happen – it takes a village!
- Shielded Expansion
The Shielded Expansion phase would commence sometime after hard fork #1. During this phase, Namada would prioritize expansion into additional ecosystems via bridging solutions like Wormhole, IBC Eureka, and possibly others such as Axelar or LayerZero. These connections would include the first Namada outputs – smart contracts on external networks (e.g. Ethereum and Cosmos chains) – which woudld enable new kinds of shielded actions, such as shielded swaps, shielding lending, shielded staking, and more. This phase would also include continued PGF experimentation – perhaps with prize-based PGF, cross-chain partnerships – and perhaps product experimentation such as initial versions of shielded asset management. Shielded Expansion would also focus on integration of Namada into more wallets and user-facing touchpoints – we’d want to make it as easy to access as possible.
Shielded Expansion could include support for PoL in the Foreign Reserve (as suggested by @ResourceLogic), and potentially Tendermint optimizations if we want. It could also include experiments in shielded voting (brought up by @dismad) or other cross-chain shielded action integrations.
- Shielded Integration
The Shielded Integration phase would focus on integrating more advanced shielded outputs into external chains, with some shielded functionality (perhaps not full, this depends on different specific constraints and product goals). These shielded outposts may be built on top of initial versions of the Anoma resource machine and protocol adapter. Shielded Integration would bring even more wallet integrations (including some wallets which may only support outposts to start), and more public goods and product experimentation (perhaps shielded bonds, more complex shielded asset management, cross-chain deals with Valence, or ideas we haven’t even thought of yet).
Shielded Integration would start on Anoma integration (as suggested by @ResourceLogic), which would be completed in the next phase…
- Shielded Transformation
The Shielded Transformation phase would focus on gradually evolving and updating Anoma to use more and more of the Anoma tech stack, including the resource machine, protocol adapters, controllers system, and consensus. The controllers system, in particular, would be able to bring shielded bridging to Namada, enabling a fully unified shielded asset pool for all of web3 (including across outposts) and eliminate the need for transparent bridging. This phase will enable Namada to fully realize the composable privacy layer vision – one privacy layer and one shielded set for all of web3!

- Scale growth
Scale growth is a foundation for other growth
- Shielding addresses to receive airdrops is a good tool, and it also reflects the differentiation of NAM from other chains. How to use the differentiation of NAM privacy shielding addresses to increase users on a large scale, improve basic data, attention, influence and token development expectations?
At the same time, how to expand users on a large scale with low cost, or no cost, or with income?
Some projects have cooperated with the nam project and will airdrop in the future. They can inform their users to register shielded addresses. For example, if a project airdrops to users with one million evm addresses in its ecosystem, each user needs to register their privacy shielded address. Regardless of whether the project airdrops tokens to its users with large or small value, or even no value, or will issue tokens in the next few years, it first brings 1 million user shielded addresses and 1 million wallet downloaders to nam. On this basis, let customers contact nam and learn about nam. Some users may participate in the shielding of other assets on their own. This depends on the user. At the same time, nam’s influence, advertising, popularity, etc. will affect the user’s assets entering the shielding set.
A project brings 1 million registered addresses, and it is expected that 10% of users will shield their assets, which will also bring 100,000 real asset users. In the future, token users will passively promote the use of shielded sets, that is, 1 million real fund addresses.
One project brings 1 million basic addresses, and 10 projects will bring 10 million basic addresses. In addition, the explosiveness of this model can be used to attract high-quality users from other ecosystems. For example, a meme is issued to airdrop to users of arb op zks starknet airdrops and those who still hold related assets. Users are required to register shielded addresses, which will bring a lot of shielded addresses and a lot of attention. This model attracts users on a large scale, which will make more people actively and passively hold nam. Some of them need to pay fees, and some need to invest. In addition, the rewards of shielded sets will attract many users. It is temporarily estimated that 10 million addresses will be calculated tenfold to reach 100 million addresses. Among the 100 million addresses, one address will generate an average of $10 in handling fee income per year, which is $1 billion in on-chain income per year.
-
Build a Meme launch platform (pvp), and all issued tokens are received using shielded addresses. Meme tokens automatically become shieldable token assets. As long as the meme token contract of this launch platform automatically generates shieldable assets, a large number of meme tokens will attract a large number of users and funds to enter the nam shield, using shielded defi and other related functions, which will greatly promote the explosive development of the number of nam addresses, the explosive development of the number of users, the explosive development of transactions, the explosive development of user habits, and the long-term development of funds.

Daily activity growth-------------------------------------- Red envelope chain (already submitted to dc mod)
Involving commercial secrets, it will not be elaborated here
- Belief growth------------------------------ Token lock
Transaction impulse: In fact, every time I shop, I buy it when I like it at first sight, and I often don’t use it when I buy it back. The same reason is the same for investment. If many investments can be locked, they may be held. Those that cannot be locked were originally very optimistic, but they may be sold for some reasons one day. Therefore, it is very important to develop an application that can lock user funds and nam for a long time and users can only get the income. This can not only retain users, but also keep their original intentions for users, and will not sell their assets due to changes in thinking, and at the same time increase the value and price of nam.
- Traffic growth--------------------------------------------------------------- Traffic (already submitted to dc mod)
Involving trade secrets, it is not elaborated here
- Natural growth---------------------------------------------------------------Users register and use it by themselves
Do a good job of attention, and the natural growth of users will be very fast
- Consumption growth------------------------------------------------------------E-commerce NFT (already submitted to dc mod)
Involving trade secrets, it is not elaborated here
-
Monopoly growth------------------------------------------------------------Continuously develop new methods
-
Profitable growth
It is recommended that the project party allocate and retain some tokens. When the project users reach a certain level, the price of nam is very high, and the income growth is very large. Some income can be used to purchase the original tokens of other projects and airdrop them to users of another project.
For example, the original tokens of project A are purchased with the proceeds, and airdropped to users holding project B. Users holding B tokens use the nam shielding address to receive the airdrop, or users holding B tokens use the shielding function to obtain the A token airdrop. In this way, project A obtains funds and the NAM chain helps cover more users, and NAM also obtains more people using the shielding function. Continuously use the proceeds to purchase original tokens and airdrop to users of different chains, the number of users continues to grow, and the proceeds continue to grow.
Continuously burning money (revenue) and nam’s price continues to rise, forming a virtuous cycle, while hedging the continuous inflation reward model of many chains. Users do not like the chain with continuous inflation. Through the continuous user growth hedging model, it has gained high market recognition and good expectations.
Expected growth---------------------------------------------------------------Do yourself well to improve market expectations
Continuously develop new ecosystems and improve user expectations
