One of my hobbies is reading security audit reports for fun. I like the way the Least Authority team included lots of comments and suggestions about…

If I understand correctly, you can now move any of these assets over IBC into the Namada shielded pool. Way to go, Anoma/Namada folks! Cool to see two of my other favorite projects in there, too: Nym and Penumbra. https://hackmd.io/@heliax/super-quick-guide-to-namada-cross-chain-shielding
