Quick takeaways

Anoma's universal intent machine enables users to express broad desired outcomes, revolutionizing user interactions in decentralized applications.

On-chain privacy is prioritized in Anoma, allowing users to secure their data locally while making updates without exposing transaction histories.

Anoma aims to unify the developer experience across multiple blockchain environments, simplifying the development process and fostering innovation.

Deep dives

The Role of Native Generalized Intents

Anoma introduces a novel concept of native generalized intents, setting it apart from existing systems. This innovation addresses the reality that many users don't know who they want to transact with, making intents the next evolutionary step in user interactions. Intents allow users to express their desired outcomes without needing specific transaction details, providing greater flexibility in blockchain interactions. The ability to specify vague desires rather than explicit transactions creates a more user-friendly environment for complex financial activities.

Inspired by Cosmos’ IBC ethos, Anoma takes interoperability a step further, from VM (virtual machine) to IM (intent machine). While traditional dApps that run on virtual machines require step-by-step instructions to achieve a desired outcome, Anoma’s universal intent machine design allows users to simply define their end-results which are then aggregated and an optimal combination of intents is selected - cross-chain, simple, elegant. Moreover, intents also enable on-chain privacy, a concept explored by Namada.
