A while back, I tried building a privacy-focused app.Naively, I assumed there was infrastructure to make it work.

I’d worked with Polkadot, Cosmos, Cardano, assumed blockchains had something similar for true privacy. But what I found was … nothing.
No intent-driven execution.
No native cross-chain privacy.
No user sovereignty.
No tools.

Just a pile of mixers and layers with more vulnerabilities than features.

Trying to build with privacy felt like trying to hide in a glass house.

And I gave up.
But that’s when I started hearing about @anoma. Not loud, not hyped just respected by people I trust. So I started reading.

They weren’t forcing privacy into rigid chains. They were building something totally different:

Intent machines for user-defined deals across chains
ZK proofs for seamless shielding without leaks
Fractal scaling that connects everything without compromising autonomy

Suddenly, I saw a new possibility.
Anoma doesn’t try to shove privacy into another chain’s transparency. It builds a system where user intents are preserved and where deals can happen natively.

As a builder, that’s everything.

Because I don’t want to ask my users to expose data or trust a mixer.
I want to build on sovereignty, not compromises.

Anoma is giving Web3 the foundation Zcash had in 2016 but with far more flexibility and integrity.
This isn’t just for DeFi.
It’s for anyone building dApp, not chain, on principle.
