Anoma

Web3 seemingly brings many advancements to the connected paradigm. Buzzwords like decentralization, transparency, trustlessness, financial inclusion among others have defined this new generation of technology, differentiating it positively from its predecessor - Web2. However, many of these words are misleading, inaccurately conveying the underlying tech resulting in misguided assumptions. Decentralization happens in some applications' components but centralization still occurs in others. Transparency may seem favorable in some instances but actually erodes individual privacy and sovereignty. The list goes on. Web3 in its current form is Web2.5 at best.

Anoma introduces a novel architecture for building full-stack decentralized applications.

For our more technical audience, Anoma is an intent-centric, privacy-preserving protocol for decentralized counterparty discovery, solving, and multi-chain atomic settlement.

For everyone else (and our technical audience), considered the third generation after Bitcoin and Ethereum, Anoma enables full-stack decentralization. Simply put: with one unified architecture, Anoma provides all components that modern applications need without requiring any component to be a Web2 component – thus enabling truly decentralized dApps. For developers, Anoma's intent-centric architecture + validity predicates introduce a new programming model for dApps - closer to Declarative Programming (compared to programmable settlement, where it's closer to Imperative Programming).

Namada will be the first chain in the Anoma ecosystem, delivering interchain privacy.

Anoma events seek to educate, share and build the next generation of the web IRL - one that inherently empowers users and brings as much individual expression and sovereignty as possible. Join this group to learn about Anoma, discuss the pressing issues around Web2 and Web3, and engage with communities that want to create an equitable web while having fun doing it.

We believe the web should be a good for the public, not an industry that turns the public into a good.
