All NAM holders can submit and vote on proposals, such as parameter changes, code upgrades, or Public Goods Funding allocations, using their on-chain voting power. A minimum stake threshold applies to proposal creation.

PGF is a dedicated governance stream where elected stewards allocate NAM to community-led projects, infrastructure, and research. Stewards are chosen by token holder votes to oversee fund distribution.

Use the Namada Keychain browser extension for transparent (‘tnam…’) and shielded (‘znam…’) addresses, the Namada CLI & File System Wallet for power users, Ledger hardware via Keychain, or the Namadillo web/mobile interface.

Yes. Shielded tokens remain composable and can be used in IBC-compatible DeFi protocols and dApps without revealing transaction data, unlocking private liquidity markets and swaps.

Use Namada’s IBC connections to transfer Cosmos-based tokens, or the trust-minimized Ethereum bridge to bring ERC-20 assets on-chain. Once bridged, assets can be shielded in the MASP.
