Anoma is a next-generation blockchain (Layer 1) with a unique intent-based concept, where users simply create a transaction intent and the system automatically finds the most efficient way to complete it. This protocol supports cross-chain, transaction privacy, and cost efficiency, making it suitable for DeFi, swaps, and decentralized applications. Anoma was founded by Christopher Goes (ex developer of Cosmos & IBC), Adrian Brink (Cryptium Labs, Cosmos), and Awa Sun Yin (ex-Chainalysis, Ethereum/Tendermint) research, with strong support from prominent investors such as Polychain Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Electric Capital who have invested tens of millions of dollars.
