I think intense has recently become popular and it's clearly not due to anoma because we've been talking about it for a long time and it never became popular. I think there people use the word intense to refer to basically credible commitments to preferences over some system. Intents are credible commitments to information flow constraints, so in particular, intent, let's take the example of like a zero knowledge swap. That's illustrative. So when you're doing some kind of zero knowledge swap with Taiga and I suspect that other, you know, other private swap projects, I don't know exactly how they work, but they're probably doing this too.
This week, host Anna Rose and co-host Tarun Chitra catch up with Chris Goes from Heliax, the team behind Anoma and Namada. They start with a quick retrospective about IBC, a project he formerly worked on, and how the protocol has evolved since it launched.
They dive into the concept of 'intents', exploring their origin, evolution, and discuss the intent-based systems that exist today. As well, they chat about the architectures enabled by a generalized intent-based infrastructure, the potential impacts on user experience, and the inherent trade-offs, particularly when zero-knowledge or privacy aspects are added to the mix.
