Everyone’s buzzing about Anoma, but what’s the hype really about?
Here’s your Anoma 101 - no jargon, just everything you need to know 🧵
Your current crypto experience is a mess. Tons of chains, every chain has its own niche:
- Solana for degens
- Ethereum for DeFi
- Polygon for prediction markets
If you’re a regular user, you’re constantly jumping chains and it sucks.
Let’s say you have funds on Near and want to bet on Polymarket (on Polygon).
You’ll need to:
– Bridge your funds
– Switch wallets
– Learn a new UI
– Use totally different infrastructure
This isn’t just annoying, it’s fundamentally broken UX.
Intents are the answer to this mess.
Crypto started with:
▴ Bitcoin – a decentralized ledger
▴ Ethereum – smart contracts and apps
Now comes the next leap:
▴ Intent-centric architecture where you just say what you want, and the system figures out how.
Enter Anoma.
It’s building a unified OS, turning blockchains into a single development environment.
Ending the fragmentation of state and users that limits today’s decentralized applications.
This is how it works 🔽
User wants to purchase an NFT with 1 ETH and submits an intent.
Anoma's architecture allows Solvers to match and assemble the necessary counter-intents into a balanced transaction.
The final transaction is submitted on-chain and updates state.
Intents can be simple or complex.
Simple:
– Swap ETH for USDC
– Bridge funds to another chain
Complex:
– Rebalance an entire DeFi portfolio
– Buy an asset only if ETH drops below $2,000
– Execute trades only if gas is under 5 gwei
Anoma is like Windows for blockchains.
Before Windows, using a PC meant knowing how the hardware worked.
Windows introduced a layer that made it simple - click, run apps, done.
Anoma is doing the same for crypto.
You express your goal. The system handles the complexity.
That's Anoma explained simply. If you like this make sure you like the first tweet.
