Let's take a look at what @anoma is really doing! It's not just another public chain; it's another "operating system".
Currently ranked 32 in the beta test! I'll continue playing tomorrow!!
Recently, I've been researching Infra projects that might explode in the next cycle, and I've focused my attention on @Anoma.
Honestly, at first, I thought it was just another L1 doing "cross-chain + privacy", but after diving deeper, I realized: Anoma aims to create a Web3 "operating system", not just a blockchain.
🧠 What are they really doing?
In simple terms, Anoma no longer treats "initiating transactions" as a first principle; instead, it allows users to declare their intent—such as:
I want to exchange 1 ETH for an equivalent amount of USDC.
I want to collateralize an NFT for a loan.
I want to make a cross-chain stablecoin transfer.
Anoma doesn't require you to manually match chains, check where liquidity is, or set up complicated paths; its underlying matching network and Intentnet will automatically find the optimal path and the safest privacy solution for you. This is completely different from the "wallet + swap + RPC + sign + confirm" model we are used to.
It has built three layers:
Anoma Desktop: A user-facing visual interface where you declare your intent and get it done with a few clicks.
Intentnet: A peer-to-peer intent network that brings forth counterparties willing to match the transaction.
Motherboard: A multi-chain interoperability architecture that supports various assets and protocol calls.
💥 Why do I think it is the seed of a "great revolution"?
It fundamentally rewrites user interaction logic.
Web3 has been seeking a "breakthrough in user experience", but most are just superficial packaging. Anoma transforms the interaction logic from "initiating transactions" to "expressing desires"—this is a true first-order leap.
The composability is off the charts.
Intent can be on-chain actions, off-chain collaborations, payment routing, or DeFi combinations. This means that whether it's GameFi, social finance, or AI agents, this layer of infrastructure can be utilized.
Privacy is not an afterthought but is native.
It employs Zero-Knowledge technology (Namada module + MASP privacy pool) to achieve privacy protection at its core, not as an add-on.
🧪 How to play with the testnet?
Currently, Anoma is running an interactive testnet:
It features a very cool 3D visual interface.
Users can experience the entire process of "declaring intent → matching → completing transactions" like playing a mini-game.
During the process, you can earn points, role-playing badges, and likely be strongly tied to future airdrops.

🚀 What do I personally think about the potential of $ANOMA?
Although there is currently no token,
The investment lineup is impressive: Electric Capital, Polychain, CoinFund, Figment Capital, and other major VCs.
The technology has built its own ZK framework, P2P network, and multi-chain resource coordination, and has been working on it for nearly 3 years; it is definitely not a white paper project.
If Web3 users truly seek simplified interactions, privacy protection, and seamless cross-chain functionality, then Anoma is one of the most cutting-edge attempts currently.
I have now added Anoma's developments to my daily tracking list, not just because it might have an airdrop, but because: this is one of the few infrastructures that makes me feel "Web3 is evolving in the right direction".
Anoma is not just Layer 1; it is the underlying protocol of the Web3 operating system. It uses an intent-driven (Intent-Centric) design philosophy to abstract complex interaction logic into "what I want to do", which could be the foundational standard for all wallets, protocols, and applications in the future.
The next wave of benefits belongs to those Infra projects that truly solve the "user experience gap". Anoma is the kind of "underlying explosion point" that is worth laying out in advance.
