The Pai Pai Classroom is now in session: Recently, I went back home and met many friends, both from within and outside the circle. Especially my high school classmates whom I hadn't seen in a long time, almost all said I looked no different from when I was in school, so many asked me how I take care of my skin. I rarely buy face masks, but I do buy relatively cheap lotions and mix them to apply on my face, then cover it with a plastic mask, leaving it on for about 20 minutes. After doing this for three consecutive days, my skin visibly improved. When the skin looks good, the complexion improves, and when the complexion is good, the mood gets better. #Anoma Now, back to the point, if we compare blockchain to the human body, the biggest problem isn't that there are too many "organs," but that each has its own blood circulation system, and no one wants to deal with anyone else. The result is: you clearly have USDC in your wallet, but you can't buy an NFT on Solana because the NFT is listed on Ethereum; you want to use the earnings from Polygon to mine on Avalanche, but you have to cross three bridges, pay four transaction fees, and gamble that the bridge won't be hacked. Cross-chain tools are indeed increasing, but they are like makeshift single-plank bridges, allowing only one person to cross at a time, and if the bridge breaks, who is responsible? No one can clarify. Anoma @anoma aims to do something simple and straightforward: stop building bridges and directly create a heart. The heart doesn't produce blood, but it allows blood to flow to any organ as needed. Anoma also doesn't issue assets; it only does one thing—understands your "intent" and then packages and sends assets, messages, and privacy to the most suitable place for execution. So what is intent? For example: you say, "I want to use 100 privacy coins to buy a cat NFT on Optimism." In the traditional process, you have to break it down into three steps: First, exchange the privacy coins for ETH, then cross the ETH to Optimism, and finally use the ETH to buy the cat. Anoma combines these three steps into one intent: it automatically finds someone to help you exchange coins, chooses the cheapest cross-chain route, and sends the NFT back to your wallet, charging only one packaging fee throughout the process. You might not even know which chain the transaction was completed on, just like you don't have to worry about where oxygen is exchanged when you breathe in. Another ability of the heart is to "consider privacy and publicness simultaneously." Some organs need pure oxygen, while others need mixed oxygen. Anoma's architecture combines public ledgers and zero-knowledge circuits: what you want to make public can be public, and what you want to keep private can be kept private. Thus, you can initiate a request on a privacy chain but ultimately settle on a high-performance chain, achieving both speed and discretion. Even better, Anoma @anoma has turned cross-chain into broadcasting. In the past, projects had to connect liquidity one by one; now, as long as they connect to Anoma, it's like capillaries directly connecting to the aorta, allowing small applications to instantly mobilize funds across the entire chain. Large chains also don't need to reinvent the wheel, focusing on their own tasks, as the heart will deliver the nutrients. Before Anoma, the multi-chain world was like a bunch of organs connected by temporary blood vessels; with Anoma, it finally grows a heart that beats in rhythm. When users say "I want to do something," the system silently pumps blood to where it needs to go. Technical details are left to the protocol, and user experience returns to human language—this is how the multi-chain era should look.
