Privacy is the one thing crypto has talked about for a decade but never solved. ZK, Mixers and Shielded pools rolled out, but real, usable, chain-agnostic privacy is still missing. That’s the world before @anoma . Let’s walk through why the Anoma DOS + ARM architecture is the first framework that can deliver true privacy across every chain and how the ecosystem apps prove it. — Anoma is not a blockchain rather it is an OS layer that sits on top of existing blockchains. It is the only way chains can 'add privacy' in a way that just works natively. It's an easy add-on that can make privacy work without any technical know how. Anoma isn't a privacy project, but privacy is one of the main features you get when you install Anoma DOS on your chain. — Anoma Frameworks: ● Distributed Operating System (DOS): The Anoma DOS provides: • A universal layer that unifies all chains • Standard coordination for intents • A shared space where private computation makes sense • The ability for apps to run natively everywhere ● ARM - The privacy machine inside that OS that gives it the ability to compute privately anywhere, on any chain. What makes ARM special? • Intent-centric design • Data + function privacy • Shared private state • Runs across all chains via Protocol Adaptors: Any chain with a PA becomes ARM-powered instantly. Together, they make privacy native, programmable, and chain-independent. — The apps launching first on Anoma aren’t random experiments but they’re demonstrations of what only ARM can do. Let’s go through them: @AnomaPay ( private payments across any chain ) This is the perfect showcase of ARM-level privacy: • Pay in any asset • Receiver claims in any asset • Private routing across chains • No doxxing transaction graphs • Intent-driven (“send privately from USDC and receiver takes USDT”) • Fees with XAN (Native ecosystem) buybacks This is privacy that scales to enterprises, DAOs , Individuals and Real-world stablecoin flows ARM makes payments: private, portable, and universal. @sullyswap SullySwap flips the script from traditional Dexs with; • Shared private state for pools • Private execution via intents • Cross-chain routing without revealing flows • Next-gen UX that feels like a private trading terminal This is only possible because ARM can compute both the logic and the state privately. ● The upcoming Anoma super app (privacy by default) This app will become: • Your private payments hub • Private trading interface • Private credit and DeFi gateway • The “home screen” for ARM-powered apps Think of it as the interface to the privacy OS and an alpha you want to keep your eye on. — The Bigger Picture: Privacy is the missing layer of Web3 Anoma doesn't just “add privacy.” It moves crypto into its third generation: • Gen 1 – Bitcoin: store of value • Gen 2 – Ethereum: programmable money • Gen 2.1 – L2s, rollups, ZK scaling • Gen 3 – Anoma: intent-centric, private, universal OS Every app, every chain, every asset all in one private environment.
