Announcing Intents Initiates Cohort 01

The crypto and Web3 space has seen a never-ending rollout of new blockchains since Bitcoin was invented. From layer-1 and layer-2 networks to modular and app-specific chains, each new launch brings incremental improvements and new approaches to solve long-standing problems.&nbsp;But each new chain adds complexity that developers and users are forced to navigate. The result is a patchwork ecosystem of fragmented networks, applications, wallets, liquidity, and users. This trend toward fragmentation is a major barrier to developer and user adoption, and keeps the focus on infrastructure at the expense of applications.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/image6.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1999" height="1106" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w600/2025/06/image6.jpg 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1000/2025/06/image6.jpg 1000w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1600/2025/06/image6.jpg 1600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/image6.jpg 1999w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>The current status quo: complexity and fragmentation</figcaption></figure>With Web3 hype cycles measured in weeks, not months or years, the choice of which chain to deploy an app to brings huge risks. If a developer launches their app on chain X one day, and users and liquidity flock to chain Y the next, it means months of wasted development time and capital. It’s one big game of musical chairs. Teams are forced to make risky bets on which chain will win, or manage multiple deployments across different chains, creating extra development and maintenance overhead that puts them at a competitive disadvantage.For users, fragmentation is a nightmare for the experience of using blockchains. They’re forced to juggle multiple wallets, seed phrases, apps, chains, and bridges to do even relatively basic things. For anything involving multiple chains, users have to go down rabbit holes to find optimal routes, navigate complicated multi-step interactions, and sign a time-consuming series of transactions.What if there was a better way to build and use Web3 applications?<h2 id="introducing-web3%E2%80%99s-os">Introducing Web3’s OS</h2>Anoma is a decentralized operating system that unifies the fragmented Web3 landscape into a single, cohesive environment. Anoma will connect existing blockchains across ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, and more. But what does an operating system mean in the context of Web3?&nbsp;Let’s look at the example of Windows and what it did to revolutionize the way people interact with and develop applications for PCs. Windows unified the PC environment, creating a single cohesive interface that users and developers could interact with regardless of the underlying hardware. No matter which type of CPU a computer was built on, users could get the same familiar experience, and developers could write a single application that could work on many different types of computers. This kicked off the personal computing era, making PCs accessible enough to become a household device.&nbsp;Yet Web3 is still stuck in the pre-Windows era. If Web3 networks are like decentralized ‘world computers’, blockchains represent the underlying CPUs that handle all the ‘processing’. Today, developers are still stuck writing applications for specific blockchains, and users are forced to interact directly with complex low-level infrastructure. This keeps Web3 stuck in an immature state, without the types of user-friendly applications needed to break through the transition into mainstream relevance.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/Web3-landscape_V2.5.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w600/2025/06/Web3-landscape_V2.5.jpg 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1000/2025/06/Web3-landscape_V2.5.jpg 1000w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1600/2025/06/Web3-landscape_V2.5.jpg 1600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w2400/2025/06/Web3-landscape_V2.5.jpg 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Anoma OS unifies Web3 into a single cohesive system</figcaption></figure>Akin to Windows for Web3, Anoma introduces a new approach to dapp development. It enables developers to build one app that works seamlessly across any underlying blockchain, and to provide a seamless experience for their users, free from the complexity that exists today. Developers are no longer faced with the risky decision of deploying on a specific blockchain. With Anoma, their app is automatically compatible with any underlying chain, and they’re ready for the next big blockchain launch, whenever it happens.&nbsp;This unified approach can significantly speed up the time and reduce the cost of deploying a dapp, and eliminates the overhead of juggling multiple deployments across different chains. With Anoma, dapp teams are free to focus on what matters most: their application and their users, leaving the complexity of underlying infrastructure and multichain interoperability to Anoma.&nbsp;Anoma also provides the most flexible and adaptable development environment possible, enabling developers to build new types of applications that haven't been possible in Web3. This includes full-featured Web2-style applications like Uber or Kickstarter (but fully decentralized), and the types of automated experiences that users have come to expect from AI-powered applications. This means that Web3 won’t be left behind as users expect increasing ease of use and more natural interactions from the applications they use. Anoma is not yet another blockchain bringing incremental improvements to the existing paradigm. It’s a fundamentally new type of architecture optimized for application development and user experience, paving the way for Web3 to reach its full potential as the ‘world computer’.<h2 id="the-power-of-intents">The power of intents</h2>A key component of how Anoma provides a superior developer and user experience is by introducing a new paradigm of intent-centric application development.Intents are how humans naturally interact with applications. They’re the outcomes or goals that users want to achieve, along with any preferences or conditions for achieving those goals. A user opens an application because they want to trade X for Y at the best possible price, or to purchase a product that matches their specific needs and requirements. With Anoma, developers can write applications that process user intents into verifiable outcomes, a quantum leap forward in user and developer experience compared to what exists today.&nbsp;Intent-centric app development involves a shift from imperative to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming?ref=blog.anoma.net" rel="noreferrer">declarative programming</a>. With imperative programming, you need to write a series of step-by-step instructions for the computer to process. By contrast, with declarative programming you simply declare the end state you want to achieve without needing to specify how to achieve it. This approach saves time and improves the developer experience by minimizing unnecessary complexity. It’s the difference between needing to tell a chef every step involved in making your meal vs ordering the dish you want and letting the chef handle the preparation.While Web2 apps adopted intents and declarative programming long ago, the approach isn’t yet the standard in Web3. Indeed, the move from imperative to declarative programming (particularly the shift from jquery to react) is part of the secret sauce that led Web2 applications to take over the world. Because Web3 applications are tied to on-chain virtual machines (e.g. the EVM), which run on an imperative, transaction-centric model, dapp developers are still stuck writing step-by-step instructions.Not only is this an inefficient and inexpressive way to write applications, it forces users to understand and interact with the complexities of the underlying infrastructure. They have to figure out which wallets and UIs to use, evaluate bridges, judge the risks involved, and then approve an often complex series of transactions.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/image3.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1736" height="874" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w600/2025/06/image3.jpg 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1000/2025/06/image3.jpg 1000w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1600/2025/06/image3.jpg 1600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/image3.jpg 1736w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Users communicate their intent, Anoma handles the complexity</figcaption></figure>With Anoma, users can simply communicate their desired outcome and let the system handle the complexity for them. No matter how complex an operation is or how many chains are involved, Anoma apps can provide a single, simple interaction for the user. Dapps can provide more seamless, automated experiences, comparable to those users have come to expect from LLMs and chatbots.&nbsp;Some Web3 protocols today are designed to process intents, but typically only involve specific use cases, such as cross-chain swaps. Anoma introduces the first system for processing generalized intents, that is, any type of intent that can be used for any type of application. Generalized intents are the key to building apps that can match the capabilities of Web2 without relying on any centralized components. <h2 id="how-does-it-work">How does it work?</h2>Anoma provides a level of abstraction that exists on top of underlying blockchains. This is similar to how an operating system provides a level of abstraction on top of computer CPUs that developers and users can interact with rather than needing to interact directly with the hardware. Anoma is designed around three basic layers: an application layer, a networking layer, and a settlement layer. <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/image1.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1836" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w600/2025/06/image1.jpg 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1000/2025/06/image1.jpg 1000w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1600/2025/06/image1.jpg 1600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/image1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>The 3 basic layers of Anoma OS</figcaption></figure>The application layer is where developers build applications and users interact with them. This is analogous to the UIs that we’re used to in Windows or MacOS. It includes a development interface for building intent-centric applications, powered not by a virtual machine (VM) and smart contracts, as in the case of conventional blockchains, but by an Anoma innovation called the intent machine (IM). While VMs work by processing transactions into state updates, the IM works by processing intents into state updates. The IM model is the key to bringing intent-centric applications to Web3.The networking layer is a decentralized peer-to-peer network made up of intent gossip nodes and solvers that run the Anoma software. When a user submits an intent to an app interface, gossip nodes broadcast it across peers in the network. Special nodes called solvers watch for these intents and solve them by carrying out the necessary operations and settling transactions on underlying blockchains. Solvers can be specialized in certain types of operations, or more generalized for a wider range of applications.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/image2.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1999" height="1129" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w600/2025/06/image2.png 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1000/2025/06/image2.png 1000w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1600/2025/06/image2.png 1600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/06/image2.png 1999w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>The networking layer also handles counterparty discovery, the key to any type of application that involves multiple parties.&nbsp;For example, a decentralized token swap can involve two or more parties. Imagine Alice has token X that they want to trade for token Y, and Bob has token Y that they want to trade for token X. This creates a balanced transaction because the intents equal out. More likely, a swap can involve more than two parties: Alice wants to trade token W for token Z, Bob wants to trade token X for token Y, Cameron wants to trade token Y for token W, and Dave wants to trade token Z for token X. This is also a balanced transaction that solvers can solve.&nbsp;Generalized intents on Anoma are fully composable, which means developers can write applications that rely on interaction between multiple users and multiple operations across several blockchains, and solvers can combine intents from different users together to solve more complex operations.The only way to do counterparty discovery in Web3 today is by relying on centralized components like servers, or by putting the entire process on-chain, which is impractical in terms of efficiency and cost. With Anoma, intents can be arbitrarily complex, and the larger the pool of intents, the more ways that solvers can find to balance them. In his way, apps on Anoma can involve interactions between any number of users while maintaining full decentralization. This enables new types of applications that are impossible in Web3 today.Finally, the settlement layer is where intents are ultimately settled on underlying blockchains. This layer is essentially the motherboard of the world computer. Intents can be settled across any number of blockchains, from L1s and L2s to app-specific chains for file storage, data availability, oracles, and more. Anoma connects to existing blockchains and enables those networks to seamlessly operate with the broader Anoma system.<h2 id="powering-a-universal-app-layer-for-web3">Powering a universal app layer for Web3</h2>By introducing an intent-centric paradigm for blockchain architecture and application development, Anoma enables a universal application layer to serve all of Web3.&nbsp;In the current paradigm, the focus is still overwhelmingly on blockchains and blockchain infrastructure rather than on what applications actually need.&nbsp;But what if we could redesign blockchains from scratch to make them more user friendly and better suited for hosting applications? The good news is that we don’t have to. Anoma reexamines decentralized systems from a first-principles approach, to create a more application-centric and user-centric future for Web3. Best yet, Anoma is fully compatible with existing blockchains, so any chain can benefit from intents and developers can write one app with universal compatibility.Just as Web2 apps can work seamlessly and update state across every device a user owns, Anoma enables dapps to roam seamlessly across every blockchain a user has state on at once. This is the sort of experience users have come to expect, but it hasn’t existed in Web3 until now. Anoma bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3 applications and experiences, so Web3 can finally serve as the backbone of a new internet.&nbsp;The rigid focus on blockchains and VMs has failed to give us a rich application layer to compete with Web2, imposing unnecessary complexity on developers and users. Anoma is Web3 without the complexity, enabling the space to evolve beyond infrastructure so developers can finally focus on building apps, not chains.&nbsp;Because the future of crypto isn’t more infrastructure. It’s infrastructure you don’t even notice.

Build Apps, Not Chains: Introducing Web3’s OS

The ability to pay anyone, anywhere across the globe in a secure, seamless way with stablecoins has long been a holy grail use case for blockchain technology. But the capabilities of blockchain infrastructure have not kept up with the latent demand for user-friendly payments applications. Fragmentation, poor UX, and the lack of protection for sensitive financial data have limited the feasibility of using stablecoins for seamless global payment routing.&nbsp;Users, businesses, and institutions are forced to deal with a choice between slow fiat payment rails and fragmented blockchains with no protection for sensitive financial data. The friction involved in sending payments when multiple blockchains are involved and different users have different preferred tokens is a non-starter for widescale adoption, as is exposing confidential financial information to public payment rails.&nbsp;<h2 id="introducing-anomapay">Introducing AnomaPay</h2><a href="https://anoma.money/?ref=blog.anoma.net">AnomaPay</a> is a global stablecoin router and enterprise-grade payments network built on Anoma.

Anoma XAN Airdrop: Registration is Now Open

The wait is over! XAN is now live and Anoma’s mainnet rollout has begun. Today’s launch introduces Anoma’s native <a href="https://docs.anoma.foundation/tokenomics?ref=blog.anoma.net">XAN token</a> and governance system, which are now live on Ethereum mainnet. The coordination mechanism for the Anoma ecosystem, XAN will power activity across existing Web3 networks, ‘real-world’ applications, and Anoma native instances. As the first phase of mainnet functionality to go live, XAN and Anoma governance enable the community to coordinate all future mainnet upgrades.&nbsp;This marks the beginning of Anoma’s mainnet rollout, which will proceed through a series of protocol upgrades that sequentially unleash the power of Anoma’s decentralized operating system, starting with a mainnet beta phase.&nbsp;Anoma is not another L1 or L2 blockchain. It’s a higher level of abstraction that shifts innovation upward to the application layer. It’s the operating system that unifies all chains into one seamless environment for developers and users to interact with.Anoma is not an incremental improvement over existing technology. It’s a complete overhaul of how blockchains, dapps, and decentralized systems work. Based on novel research, Anoma redesigns Web3 from the ground-up to make it as user-friendly, composable, scalable, and flexible as possible. It will be the most significant upgrade for decentralized applications since the launch of the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This is an expansive, long-term vision that will take time to unfold. Beginning today with the deployment of Anoma’s XAN token and governance system to Ethereum, Anoma will take shape gradually over a series of upgrades, with more powerful functionality and support for additional blockchains and ecosystems rolling out over time. After Ethereum mainnet, Anoma will add support for key Ethereum L2s before expanding to other ecosystems.&nbsp;<h2 id="the-ticker-is-xan">The ticker is XAN</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/09/Slide-16_9---8--3-.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w600/2025/09/Slide-16_9---8--3-.jpg 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1000/2025/09/Slide-16_9---8--3-.jpg 1000w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1600/2025/09/Slide-16_9---8--3-.jpg 1600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/09/Slide-16_9---8--3-.jpg 1920w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>XAN is Anoma's native token and the coordination mechanism for the Anoma ecosystem.</figcaption></figure>XAN will serve as the global coordination mechanism for the entire Anoma ecosystem. This means XAN will power network activities and economic flows across Web3 and ‘real world’ applications, no matter where Anoma is deployed: from existing networks like Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Solana, to Anoma-native fractal instances and on-demand local consensus between mobile phones or other devices.Starting today, XAN can be used for payments, fees, and to participate in Anoma’s governance system. Future phases of mainnet may include additional XAN functionality. XAN holders can use Anoma Portal or any ERC-20 compatible wallet to manage their tokens.<h2 id="anoma-governance-explained">Anoma governance explained</h2>The initial version of Anoma’s governance system, launched today, enables XAN holders to lock up tokens to vote on protocol upgrade proposals. The system features two governance bodies that can propose upgrades: the ‘voter body’ of token holders, and a governance council, which act as counter balances to each other. The governance council can propose upgrades when the voter body hasn’t reached quorum, and the voter body can veto proposals initiated by the council. This creates a system of checks and balances that prevents either body from acting unilaterally.The weight of a token holder’s vote is proportional to the amount of tokens they choose to lock, ensuring long-term alignment with the protocol’s success. Tokens locked for voting can be unlocked following the proposal’s enactment. Like Anoma mainnet in general, Anoma’s governance system will evolve over time to include additional functionality for the ecosystem and community.<h2 id="introducing-anoma-portal">Introducing Anoma Portal</h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/2025/09/CEX.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w600/2025/09/CEX.png 600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1000/2025/09/CEX.png 1000w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w1600/2025/09/CEX.png 1600w, https://storage.ghost.io/c/7f/bd/7fbd1a63-7773-421a-8cc8-e41b09cdccee/content/images/size/w2400/2025/09/CEX.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Anoma Portal is your gateway to the Anoma ecosystem and all protocol functions</figcaption></figure><a href="http://portal.anoma.net/?ref=blog.anoma.net">Anoma Portal</a> is an Anoma-native application that will serve as the gateway to the Anoma ecosystem and all major protocol functions.

The ARM is a virtual machine, similar to the EVM, but which enables builders to create applications with native intents and programmable privacy.Intents enable simpler, more intuitive user experiences where you can express your desired outcome, without needing to worry about the technical steps necessary to make it happen. This enables more user-friendly applications, including automated experiences like AI agents and chatbots. With the ARM’s programmable privacy features, Base builders can leverage opt-in, compliant privacy protections with fine-grained control over data disclosure. This means apps can allow users to share specific data with specific parties for specific purposes, for example for auditing or compliance needs. The ARM unlocks a degree of data permissioning previously only available in the offchain world.&nbsp;With these powerful tools now available on Base, we’re one step closer to making the decentralized future accessible to everyone, everywhere. Stay tuned for the launch of the first Anoma applications on Base, including AnomaPay, which will demonstrate the power of Anoma for seamless private payments.

Anoma is Now Live on Base

AnomaPay is now live in private beta on <a href="https://www.base.org/?ref=blog.anoma.net">Base</a>. This marks an important first step in launching AnomaPay’s seamless, private onchain payments to the world.&nbsp;<a href="https://anomapay.app/?ref=blog.anoma.net" rel="noreferrer">AnomaPay</a> is an Anoma application that makes it easy to pay anyone privately with any asset on any blockchain. It enables you to send private payments using the assets you already own: no need to use specific privacy coins or privacy chains, and no need to set up new wallets or download new software. During the invite-only private beta on Base, a select group of early users can access AnomaPay to experience its core feature of native private payments. With support for the top 50 assets on Base by market capitalization, the private beta will be used to collect feedback and fix any issues ahead of AnomaPay’s public launch.&nbsp;Base was selected for the private beta phase for its strong community and ecosystem, speed and cost benefits, and because Base’s vision to bring a billion people onchain aligns with Anoma’s <a href="https://anoma.net/blog/upward?ref=blog.anoma.net" rel="noreferrer">emphasis</a> on making decentralized applications accessible and easy to use for everyone.&nbsp;AnomaPay’s private beta follows the recent <a href="https://anoma.net/blog/anoma-is-now-live-on-base?ref=blog.anoma.net" rel="noreferrer">launch of Anoma on Base</a>, unlocking native intents and programmable privacy for Base’s builders and applications.&nbsp;Anoma is the <a href="https://anoma.net/blog/build-apps-not-chains-introducing-web3s-os?ref=blog.anoma.net" rel="noreferrer">distributed operating system</a> (DOS) that connects and unifies existing blockchains into a single interface for developers and users to interact with, and enables a new way to build applications based on users’ goals and preferences (intents).&nbsp;By abstracting the complexity of onchain infrastructure, Anoma enables builders to focus on product-market fit and providing user experiences that meet or exceed the ease-of-use of conventional offchain applications.With Anoma live on Base, all future Anoma applications also have the ability to run natively on Base, in addition to the other chains where Anoma is deployed.&nbsp;<h2 id="what%E2%80%99s-next">What’s next</h2>AnomaPay’s private beta is the first step in addressing a crucial shortcoming of onchain applications: the lack of users’ control over their own sensitive financial data.&nbsp;After this phase, feedback from early users will be considered for incorporation into the application ahead of its public mainnet beta release. AnomaPay’s public beta will support additional blockchains where Anoma has been deployed, and will expand with Anoma’s rollout to new networks. From there, AnomaPay will continue to roll out new features that make compliant private payments easy for everyone, everywhere.

You can view the onchain deployment of the Anoma Protocol Adapter on Optimism <a href="https://optimistic.etherscan.io/address/0x094FCC095323080e71a037b2B1e3519c07dd84F8?ref=blog.anoma.net" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.Optimism developers can now leverage the Anoma Resource Machine (ARM) to build applications with native intents and programmable privacy, with full EVM interoperability. This enables user friendly, fully private applications that use existing Optimism and Ethereum ecosystem assets. This deployment also paves the way for Anoma applications like <a href="https://anomapay.app/?ref=blog.anoma.net" rel="noreferrer">AnomaPay</a> to work seamlessly on Optimism.<h2 id="unleashing-the-arm-on-op">Unleashing the ARM on OP</h2>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.&nbsp;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.Dive deeper into the ARM:<ul><li><a href="https://anoma.net/blog/introducing-the-arm?ref=blog.anoma.net">Introducing the ARM</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/anoma/evm-protocol-adapter?ref=blog.anoma.net">Implementation of the EVM PA</a></li><li><a href="https://zenodo.org/records/10689620?ref=blog.anoma.net">ARM Technical Specifications</a></li></ul><h1 id=""></h1><h2 id="whats-next">What's next?</h2>The deployment of the Anoma PA on Optimism marks the next of many installations of the Anoma Distributed Operating System (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.

BNB Chain currently handles <a href="https://x.com/BNBCHAIN/status/2031346882786574414?s=20&ref=blog.anoma.net">~40% of global stablecoin transactions by count</a>. With Anoma now live, those transactions can benefit from optional confidentiality, powered by the Anoma Resource Machine (ARM). Beyond providing much-needed privacy options to BNB users, this integration enables BNB builders to create more seamless, intuitive experiences for their users.You can view the onchain deployment of the Anoma Protocol Adapter on BNB Chain <a href="https://bscscan.com/address/0xFC44b66a39fe6923Ad8d3c93bFeC369728862B68?ref=blog.anoma.net">here</a>.<h2 id="introducing-anoma-dos-on-bnb">Introducing Anoma DOS on BNB</h2>Anoma is the distributed operating system that puts people in control of the systems they use. It abstracts the complexity of blockchain infrastructure, providing a single unified interface for builders and users to interact with. At the heart of Anoma DOS is the Anoma Resource Machine (ARM), a novel virtual machine that enables native intents, programmable privacy, and interoperability for applications. The ARM is deployed to existing blockchains like BNB Chain via the Anoma Protocol Adapter (PA) smart contracts.&nbsp;Anoma enables simpler, more intuitive user experiences where users can express their desired outcome, without needing to worry about the technical steps necessary to make it happen. This enables more user-friendly applications, including automated experiences like AI agents and chatbots.&nbsp;With Anoma’s programmable privacy features, BNB builders can leverage opt-in privacy protections with fine-grained control over data disclosure. This means apps can allow users to share specific data with specific parties for specific purposes, for example for auditing or compliance needs.&nbsp;With applications like <a href="http://anomapay.app/?ref=blog.anoma.net">AnomaPay</a>, BNB users will be able use ERC-20 assets on BNB Chain privately, unlocking confidential transfers, swaps/trading, and much more. These powerful new primitives enable builders to achieve a new standard for onchain UX and privacy, adding exciting new utility to the already thriving BNB ecosystem.

We were limited to specific privacy coins and privacy chains, had to set up new wallets, wait hours for transactions to confirm, and navigate confusing interfaces designed for power users. Many tools were black boxes with no way to meet auditing or regulatory compliance needs. The result? Privacy remained a niche feature for crypto natives, keeping away less technical users and enterprises who could benefit.AnomaPay brings real, usable privacy to existing assets on the blockchains people already use — no new wallets, no new chains, no software downloads. Just private payments that work. It’s the only plug-and-play solution capable of adding native, user-friendly privacy to existing chains.AnomaPay is a UX breakthrough that solves the common pain points:<ul><li>Universal compatibility: Users can get privacy for any ERC20 asset on any EVM compatible chain</li><li>Smooth onboarding: You can onboard with passkeys or bring your existing wallet to sign up in just one click, no extra software needed, and no extra browser extension</li><li>State-of-the-art transaction times: You wait around 15 seconds instead of hours</li><li>Easy fee payment: Fees are abstracted and paid in the same asset you are transferring</li><li>Address-free payments: Send and request payment with convenient payment links you can share via email or your favorite chat app</li></ul><h2 id="who-is-anomapay-for">Who is AnomaPay for?</h2>Anyone transacting onchain can benefit from AnomaPay.
