We all focus on the intent architecture of anoma. The seamless ability to swap between chains and more. But no one talks about 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘺 which is one of the core principles of anoma.

@anoma is building a privacy first intent matching system. Cross-chain transactions across chains like Ethereum, Cosmos, and Bitcoin can expose sensitive user data across multiple networks.

Anoma solves this by embedding privacy directly into the matching layer. That means value can flow securely between chains without exposing who you are, what you hold, or what you’re doing.

They uses both cryptographic and non cryptographic approaches to reduce the amount of shared data.

Some of the cryptographic techniques used are
- TEE
- multiparty computations
- FHE
- witness encryption and functional encryption.
- searchable encryption and collaborative SNARKs.

Privacy is hard to tackle and there is no single “best solution” yet, each approach involves trade offs between privacy, performance, and trust.

So beyond user intent, Anoma is tackling one of the most critical issues in Blockchain which is privacy at the coordination layer.

I’m glad to be part of what Anoma is building, and I’m ready to explore even more of this ecosystem.

S/O to @elijah_iv for giving me a code to the testnet.
