Privacy Payment App AnomaPay Pauses Validators Due to Proof System Vulnerability

On November 11, AnomaPay disclosed an external security vulnerability in its RISC Zero proof system, which could potentially compromise user funds. To protect users, the risc0 validator behind Anoma has been paused, and the RISC Zero team will proceed with upgrades.

AnomaPay stated that user deposits remain secure, but access to them is temporarily suspended until the Anoma protocol upgrades to version 2, which incorporates the new RISC Zero security updates. The upgrade is expected to take approximately two weeks. No action is required from users; once completed, funds will automatically migrate to V2 and access will be restored.
