AnomaPay: Validator Paused Due to RISC Zero Proof System Vulnerability, Funds Temporarily Inaccessible

November 11: AnomaPay disclosed on X that it discovered an external security vulnerability in the RISC Zero proof system it uses, which could jeopardize user funds. To protect users and ensure fund safety, the risc0 validator behind Anoma has been paused and will be upgraded by the RISC Zero team.

AnomaPay said that user deposits are safe, but temporarily inaccessible until the Anoma protocol is upgraded to V2, which includes RISC Zero's new security update; the upgrade is expected to take about two weeks. The downtime, while not ideal, is necessary to protect user funds. Users need take no action; funds will automatically migrate to V2 and access will be restored once the upgrade is complete.
