A few days ago, the market was so bad that I didn't want to see BTC prices anymore. But bear markets are more suitable for researching projects that have the opportunity to come out and fight in the next round, after all, after all, every time there is despair, BTC will always launch another charge with a group of newcomers. The premise is that you need to have patience and find the right thing Last week I saw the news of @ Anoma launching ARM, and I remember chatting with the Anoma team for the first time more than 2 years ago (March 2023). After chatting for an hour, I and the other two colleagues at the meeting felt a bit 'unclear' I don't know if it's because I didn't understand 100% to be honest. Jue Li thinks what the team said makes sense and it's a new track. You should know that it was exactly 5 months before August 2023 when Paradigm and V God introduced various CX Intent Centric architectures. At that time, no one had heard of Intent or Solver anywhere, so the first time I heard them was a bit confusing The design concept based on intention has finally become widely known after months of extensive science popularization and discussion in the second half of 2023. However, its development has not been smooth in the past two years, with immature infrastructure, high development costs, unclear user needs, and inconsistent protocol standards... In summary, many projects mostly remain in the metaphysical stage However, seeing the launch of ARM, I still have to sigh - it is truly the first to shout out Intent Centric, and after all, it has created something useful I won't go into too much detail about what ARM is, just post the answer on Surf with a picture Simply put, it is an OS that supports original business graphs, programmable privacy, and interoperability More importantly, what do you understand ARM as Let me make two less precise but understandable analogies - if ETH's EVM is Chrome, ARM is Extension, or you can think of EVM as Windows, ARM is equivalent to VMware Give a specific scenario - you want to exchange 20 ETH for USDC on the chain, but you don't want others to know (privacy requirement) I remember mentioning their previous products in the tweet I wrote about Aztec a few days ago http://zk.money No, at that time it could have helped fund privacy enter AAVE and Lido. If we had continued to push forward for another year or two, the above scenario should not have been difficult to achieve. Unfortunately, it was shut down due to regulatory reasons at that time Now Anoma's ARM has continued this scene In theory, ARM has two ways to help you achieve this requirement One is for developers to create an intent driven DEX based on ARM architecture, as ARM supports the privatization of the entire liquidity pool (private pools) and transaction details (such as amount and address) are blocked. Therefore, when users raise this question, Solver directly directs the transaction to this DEX The second is for developers to create a front-end Shielded Pool based on ARM. Users can block the privacy of tokens (such as ETH) that come in through Solver through this Pool, and then connect to Uniswap to complete the swap. This not only avoids exposure on Uniswap, but also solves the liquidity problem of doing Dex for oneself Here's a picture of Anoma Co founder @ awasunyin stolen It can be seen that the flexibility of developers and users has been greatly enhanced with the Anoma plugin. It's okay for developers to fully focus on the product and UX. All other chain resources and features can be "called" through ARM, and users can automatically enjoy chain abstraction level privacy or other "features" on various chains by interacting with such DAPPs This is also very consistent with what I repeatedly emphasized in my previous privacy posts, that privacy should be a feature or module, not a specialized product (such as various privacy chains, Zcash is included separately) At present, the documents disclosed are limited. Let's talk about so much first. Looking at the pictures and posts above, there will be a follow-up release of AnomalPay in a while, which I think will be very interesting. After the release, I will study it and share it with everyone
