Anoma halts validator over proof system flaw, temporarily limits deposit access

Intent-centric privacy blockchain Anoma (XAN) said its risc0 validator has been shut down after an external security vulnerability was identified in the RISC Zero proof system used by AnomaPay, which could have put user funds at risk. The RISC Zero team plans to upgrade the validator. Anoma said deposits remain safe, but access will be temporarily unavailable until the Anoma Protocol V2 upgrade, including RISC Zero’s security update, is completed in about two weeks. No user action is required, and funds will be migrated automatically to V2 before becoming accessible again after the upgrade.
