Anoma is a distributed operating system for intent-centric applications. The Anoma protocol architecture supports interoperability at state, network, and application levels without restricting the types of intents or computational methods used to solve them. It an intent-centric, privacy-preserving for decentralized counterparty discovery, solving, and multi-chain atomic settlement.As a multi-party intent-centric architecture, Anoma is designed for applications concerned withcoordination of socio-economic processes dealing with resources,distributed capabilities (freedom of action, and control over resources), andagreement between agents (users) under conditions of heterogeneous trust.
