BUILD APPS NOT CHAINS
The crypto industry is becoming increasingly saturated with Layer 1s and Layer 2s, leaving us all questioning: where are the apps?
That’s not to dismiss infrastructure, as without it Web3 couldn't exist. But every new chain introduces fresh complexity: fragmentation, unfamiliar languages, and new wallets.
ANOMA FIXES THIS
Anoma isn’t another Layer 1 or Layer 2. It’s a decentralized operating system that connects to existing blockchains, be that Ethereum, Solana, or any other chain, to provide a seamless, unified experience across all of crypto.
Anoma sits above both general-purpose and app-specific chains, giving developers a single, consistent interface to build on.
Builders ship applications, Anoma handles everything else: from counterparty matching to execution, consensus, interoperability and settlement across all underlying chains.
Anoma makes the complexity of infrastructure invisible, and powers a unified app layer for Web3.
INTENT-CENTRIC APPS
Anoma introduces a new design paradigm: intent-centric applications. But what is an intent?
Simply put, an intent is a statement of a desired outcome. They’ve existed as long as markets have. A medieval villager trading a fish for a chicken was expressing an intent.
In today's blockchains, if you want to swap USDC for ETH, you use a smart contract on a DEX. That’s a fixed transaction.
On Anoma, you express your intent, and a network of solvers compete to fulfil it. This leads to more efficient, flexible outcomes than traditional chains can offer.
Because intents aren’t tied to specific applications or domains, Anoma enables entirely new types of decentralized apps:
• Metadata-private chat platforms
• Multi-party barter systems where users trade without prior coordination
• Multichain DeFi protocols that match user preferences directly and mitigate MEV
WEB2 POLISH, WEB3 GUARANTEES
Most dapps force you to babysit gas, bridges, and slippage.
With Anoma, you just declare, for example, “swap 500.000 USDC for ETH if I beat Coinbase by 0.2%,” click once, and walk away. The network handles the rest, splitting orders across chains, shielding you from MEV, and settling atomically with full self-custody and censorship resistance.
Because intents are first-class citizens, wallets and dapps treat them like Lego bricks. A payment can include a zero-knowledge proof of identity. A limit order can double as collateral. An auction can clear across diverse asset types.
You no longer have to trade convenience for sovereignty. With intents, dapps can match the capabilities of Web2 while keeping all the benefits of Web3.
BUILD ON ANOMA
Stop spinning up new chains to solve old problems. Build on Anoma. Describe the experience you want users to have, and let the network handle the rest.
The future of crypto isn’t more infrastructure. It’s infrastructure you don’t even notice.
