MENTA is a shared payment protocol that supports multiple assets in Polkadot and also, I guess, bridged assets to Polkadot ecosystem. You can think of privacy as a service for all the Polkadot paragens and also bridged assets on Polkadot. We basically can privatize any kind of asset and also all these assets are in a single shared pool. This is where your philosophy diverges from the current, let's say, ZKX philosophy or ZKX focus Where their current focus is on a single asset but it's all like a single asset.
In this week’s episode, Anna and Kobi chat with Shumo Chu, co-founder of Manta Network. They discuss the origin story of the project and how they aim to bring privacy to web3. They explore the unique accessibility that Polkadot parachains enable, the work they do on building ZK tooling and libraries for the general ZK community. They then take a look at their plans for a multi-asset shielded pool and the future they have planned for Manta projects and more.

Anoma is a suite of protocols that enable self-sovereign coordination. Anoma's first fractal instance, Namada, is planned for later in 2022, and it focuses on enabling shielded transfers for any assets with a few second transaction latency and near zero fees.
