So @AnomaPay private beta has been launched on Base.
Every onchain transaction is public right now which is why everyone can see your balance and your entire history.
AnomaPay fixes this👇
1. Leverages Anoma's DOS for encryption at the protocol level
2. Transaction data stays hidden (sender/receiver/amount not shown)
3. Privacy pools isolate clean funds, proving compliance without revealing history
It matters right now because 2026 regulations banned full anonymity (EU AMLR), but:
➣ Institutions need commercial confidentiality
➣ Retail needs personal safety
Privacy now means proving you're compliant WITHOUT revealing everything and the narrative in is changing from hide everything to verifiable privacy.

The @AnomaPay private beta is live on @base!
Early users can now try out AnomaPay for the very first time, unlocking easy private payments natively on Base.
The future of onchain privacy starts today.
