Most chains broadcast.

Anoma intents.

Most blockchains today run on the “spray and pray” model:

• You broadcast a transaction.
• The network waits to see who bites.

This model is simple, but blunt.
It leaks information, misprices opportunity, and breaks in complex coordination settings.

Now flip the flow:
@anoma switches broadcast into coordination.

1. You declare your intent (what outcome you want, not how).
2. The system finds the best match across all counterparty intents.
3. Execution happens privately, optimally, atomically.

It’s not just a new tx format.
It’s a new market structure primitive.

Why this is unique?

• On Ethereum, “I want to swap ETH for DAI” = broadcast → MEV sniped.

• On Anoma, “I want to swap ETH for stable” = intent → optimal route → private match.

That’s a fundamental unlock:
Blockchains shift from execution platforms to coordination platforms.

What this enables?

• Private multi-party barters
• Counterparty discovery without spam
• Fairer execution without leakage
• Auctions, RFQs, cross-domain intent matching
• Entire new protocol designs on top

My Take

Call it what it is:

→ The first serious rewrite of market design since the mempool.

Most chains settle what they see.
Anoma settles what you mean.

This is the age of intent-driven coordination.
