After a successful deployment of the first Anoma Protocol Adapter (PA) to Ethereum mainnet recently, the Anoma Distributed Operating System (DOS) was successfully installed on its second blockchain today: Arbitrum. 

You can view the onchain deployment of the Anoma Protocol Adapter on Arbitrum here.

Abitrum developers can now leverage the Anoma Resource Machine (ARM) to build applications with native intents and programmable privacy, with full EVM interoperability. This deployment also allows the upcoming Anoma applications, such as AnomaPay, to work seamlessly on Arbitrum.

Unleashing the ARM on ARB

The ARM is a virtual machine that implements Anoma’s state and execution model on existing blockchains, and is roughly to Anoma as the EVM is to Ethereum.

With an Anoma PA deployment, blockchains can offer the benefits of the ARM to their builders and users without needing to make any changes to their existing infrastructure. It’s a fast and efficient way to add native intents and best-in-class privacy protections to any existing chain. 

The ARM introduces a new state model called the Resource Model. Neither UTXO nor account model-based, the Resource Model combines the best of both models.

What’s next?

The deployment of the Anoma PA on Arbitrum marks the next of many installations of the Anoma DOS, including but not limited to Ethereum L2s, stablecoin chains, and more – setting the foundation for Anoma applications to run seamlessly everywhere.

As Anoma is integrated across the Ethereum ecosystem, the full benefits of its Distributed Operating System will take shape. The Anoma DOS abstracts away the complexities of the multichain landscape, providing a unified interface for developers to build on and unlocking a seamless, unified experience for users.
