Privacy is the one thing crypto has talked about for a decade but never solved.
ZK, Mixers and Shielded pools rolled out, but real, usable, chain-agnostic privacy is still missing.
That’s the world before @anoma .
Let’s walk through why the Anoma DOS + ARM architecture is the first framework that can deliver true privacy across every chain and how the ecosystem apps prove it.

Anoma is not a blockchain rather it is an OS layer that sits on top of existing blockchains.
It is the only way chains can 'add privacy' in a way that just works natively.
It's an easy add-on that can make privacy work without any technical know how.
Anoma isn't a privacy project, but privacy is one of the main features you get when you install Anoma DOS on your chain.

Anoma Frameworks:
● Distributed Operating System (DOS):
The Anoma DOS provides:
• A universal layer that unifies all chains
• Standard coordination for intents
• A shared space where private computation makes sense
• The ability for apps to run natively everywhere
● ARM - The privacy machine inside that OS that gives it the ability to compute privately anywhere, on any chain.
What makes ARM special?
• Intent-centric design
• Data + function privacy
• Shared private state
• Runs across all chains via Protocol Adaptors:
Any chain with a PA becomes ARM-powered instantly.
Together, they make privacy native, programmable, and chain-independent.

The apps launching first on Anoma aren’t random experiments but they’re demonstrations of what only ARM can do.
Let’s go through them:
@AnomaPay ( private payments across any chain )
This is the perfect showcase of ARM-level privacy:
• Pay in any asset
• Receiver claims in any asset
• Private routing across chains
• No doxxing transaction graphs
• Intent-driven (“send privately from USDC and receiver takes USDT”)
• Fees with XAN (Native ecosystem) buybacks
This is privacy that scales to enterprises, DAOs , Individuals and Real-world stablecoin flows
ARM makes payments: private, portable, and universal.
@sullyswap
SullySwap flips the script from traditional Dexs with;
• Shared private state for pools
• Private execution via intents
• Cross-chain routing without revealing flows
• Next-gen UX that feels like a private trading terminal
This is only possible because ARM can compute both the logic and the state privately.
● The upcoming Anoma super app (privacy by default)
This app will become:
• Your private payments hub
• Private trading interface
• Private credit and DeFi gateway
• The “home screen” for ARM-powered apps
Think of it as the interface to the privacy OS and an alpha you want to keep your eye on.

The Bigger Picture:
Privacy is the missing layer of Web3
Anoma doesn't just “add privacy.”
It moves crypto into its third generation:
• Gen 1 – Bitcoin: store of value
• Gen 2 – Ethereum: programmable money
• Gen 2.1 – L2s, rollups, ZK scaling
• Gen 3 – Anoma: intent-centric, private, universal OS
Every app, every chain, every asset all in one private environment.
