Today's market is just a capital word for 'miserable'! However, whether it is a huge liquidation volume or the fermentation of pessimistic emotions, there is a short-term bottoming out feeling. The industry still needs to move forward and continue BUIDL Last month, I obtained the Beta testing qualification for @ anoma Anoma Pay. After a brief test interaction, it was quite interesting Firstly, although the interface of Beta looks relatively simple, it is much stronger than the privacy products used before, and at least it can be understood at a glance After connecting the wallet, Anoma will automatically generate a private address for you. Take one of my wallets as an example, the address is AuyLVoV4ZM9DP8nzHdAj4uwrE42ZTF8Eo2WsGedPbN1mAqLm1WTa9VkHxblnAmericai4FEDSeCHXLJcWhLAzlZ6KMaTAh6FaGfOafVl3B62JPXYlQP5r9TOUa2XkARAsPkJlrZnGwFfY7-K2ZoEnppyQ4jshcMr7Nogqam9RAvmjrWUBy_gyaG5 To be honest, it's quite long... The project team said that in the future, this address will be shortened to make it look less abstract Then I sent a transfer to another internal testing guy in the group, which took slightly slower than a regular transfer, about 5-10 seconds to complete, but it was within an acceptable range. Back then, before ETH was transferred to POS, regular transfers took about the same amount of time. After completing it, I checked the Basescan It can be seen that there is almost no traceable information except for the addresses of From and To, and the Value is also 0ETH The address of 'From' is not my direct address, it should be an address that is somewhat associated with my address, while 'To' is clearly the privacy logic execution layer address of Anoma Pay, not the associated address of that guy For easy comparison, I randomly captured a random transaction from Basescan and can see that the amount of information exposed is significantly more than mine Since I am not a scientist myself, I threw this comparison to Surf for analysis, and the results are as follows Analysis of Visible Information from Transactions: 1. No amount exposure: The Value field is 0 ETH, indicating that the transfer amount is hidden and may be implemented through privacy tokens or intent encapsulation. 2. No recipient exposure: The To field is the Anoma Pay contract address, not the final recipient, and the recipient information is encrypted in calldata or processed offline. 3. High privacy flag: Complex calldata (25.9% input data) and multiple event logs (such as ActionExecuted, Application Payload) indicate that the transaction involves ZK proof verification and privacy payload delivery, rather than simple transfer. 4. The sender's balance remains unchanged: The sender's current balance is 0.0266433 ETH, which is consistent with before the transaction. It is confirmed that there is no native ETH transfer, further supporting privacy asset operations. After reviewing the documentation, the entire transfer process is consistent with the Anoma architecture and is based on Intent Centric A transaction like mine, essentially 1. I create and sign a simple 'payment intention' and send 0.5 USDC to that guy 2. The system converts this intention into executable on chain transactions in the background, and verifies user funds and permissions through zero knowledge proofs (presumably ZK based on Risc0) without exposing transaction details. 3. Transactions are settled through protocol adapters on the EVM chain, ensuring privacy while achieving secure and verifiable payments So the entire user experience is simple and efficient -Users only express intention -Prove completion in the background -Only verifiable execution results can be seen on the chain It's interesting that I saw some guys in the group questioning whether your ZK proof server would be too heavy. The official statement is that a client based ZK is already under development Overall, Anoma Pay's privacy functionality is similar to ZCash or Railgun, but based on a more modern intent architecture, the experience is much smoother. This kind of Intent Centric+ZK should be the evolution direction of the future privacy track, shifting from simple coin mixers to programmable privacy infrastructure, which is still very exciting
