【Why is Anoma an “OS” instead of a “Blockchain”?】 @anomanetwork is a rare entity that calls itself a decentralized OS. Unlike L1s like ETH and Solana, it abstracts the UX itself with a unique architecture centered around “Intent.” I’ve organized its structure and meaning. ─────────────── 1️⃣ First, the basics: L1 is “Hardware” L1s like Ethereum and Solana serve as the foundation for processing transactions and recording states. They are akin to the “hardware” of a PC, merely the base on which applications run. Traditional dApps operated according to this hardware. 2️⃣ Anoma’s position is “OS” Anoma’s role is to read the user’s “Intent” (what they want to do), select the appropriate blockchain behind the scenes, and automatically execute actions including Bridge and Swap. In other words, it translates “commands tailored to the hardware.” This is precisely the job of an OS. 3️⃣ Abstraction = What an OS does • An OS allows handling files and memory without awareness of them. • Anoma enables usage without awareness of chains or protocols. • Users only need to convey “I want to send USDC,” and Anoma will construct the route for them. Anoma’s greatness lies in its ability to absorb all the differences and constraints of each L1. 4️⃣ Implementation: Intent + Solver Intent = the ideal state of “I want this to happen.” Solver = an agent that searches for the specific route to achieve that ideal. Users don’t need to think about “the steps to operate”; they only need to specify the “result.” This structure is very similar to how an OS converts user input into hardware control. 5️⃣ A world where even UI development changes Developers will no longer need to design UIs for blockchain operations. They only need to design a form to input Intent, and the processing across multiple chains will be completed behind the scenes. This could even change the very nature of dApp development.

Anoma is a project that connects multiple chains and assets using a common language called Intent, as the term "decentralized OS" suggests, and it "abstracts" user actions. It is something to keep an eye on for future developments, as it plays a different layer compared to traditional L1s and dApps. @anoma $ANOMA
