Anoma: Ethereum’s Intent Machine

Thu, Jul 11, 2024, 11:35 AM · 34:24

Anoma brings a universal intent machine to Ethereum, allowing developers to write applications in terms of intents, which can be ordered, solved, and settled anywhere in the Ethereum ecosystem. Introducing a universal intent standard which does not constrain what kinds of intents can be expressed, but allows for built-in state, network, and application interoperability. Intents and applications written with Anoma can be ordered, solved, and settled anywhere - on the Ethereum main chain, on EVM and non-EVM rollups, or any sufficiently programmable state machine.

Anoma & Namada

Adrian wrote his graduate thesis on censorship-resistant e-voting on Ethereum in 2016. In early 2017 he joined Cosmos as the 3rd core dev and built out the Cosmos stack. Before Anoma & Namada, Adrian co-founded with Awa and Christopher Cryptium Labs, one of the the first PoS validators in the world (acquired) and Metastate, an R&D org that focused on distributed systems, cryptography as well as PLT.
