Why is @anoma so popular, comparative analysis with other projects, and what are the similarities and dissimilarities of @anoma compared to other projects? Similar to Cosmos • Both use the Tendermint consensus, and the technical kinship is very deep. • They all want to engage in "multi-chain interoperability" to solve the problem of information incompatibility between chains. • The difference is that Anoma pays more attention to "user intent", for example, you only say "I want to change A to B", and the system handles the rest; Cosmos, on the other hand, is more of a toolbox for developers to build blocks. Bottom line: Anoma can be seen as an enhanced version of Cosmos, with more privacy and more goofy user interactions. Similar to Ethereum • Can run decentralized applications. • All have their own concept of "virtual machine" (Anoma is an Intent Machine, ETH is an EVM). • The difference is: Ethereum is operation-driven, you have to fill in gas, and there are many operation steps; Anoma, on the other hand, is "what I want", which can be automatically matched, and the experience is more silky. • In terms of privacy, Ethereum is transparent by default and requires plugins to be private, while Anoma is "built-in privacy". Bottom line: Anoma is like a more user-friendly, privacy-preserving version of Ethereum. Similar to Zcash • Both attach importance to transaction privacy and use zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology. • All have the concept of "shielded pools" to hide assets. • The difference: Zcash is a private payment system; Anoma is a "privacy all-in-one platform" that can do a lot of things. Bottom line: Anoma doesn't just hide money, it also wants to help you do more Web3 operations in a private way. Similar to Polkadot • Both emphasize multi-chain interoperability, and the structure is relatively modular. • Polkadot connects the ecosystem with a relay chain + parachain; Anoma uses its own system of intentions to coordinate multiple chains. • The difference is: Polkadot is more technical and has weak privacy features; Anoma is more user-friendly, with privacy as standard. Summary: Polkadot is the translator between chains, and Anoma is the intelligent secretary of "you speak, the system does it for you". Similar to Namada • Namada is actually a member of the Anoma family, specializing in private transfers. • The technology of the two is the same, both use ZKP and multi-asset shielded pools. • The difference: Namada focuses on "hidden assets"; Anoma is the "brain" that orchestrates more complex requirements. Summary: Namada is Anoma's "privacy wallet brother", and Anoma is the "brain and operating system" of the entire system. The last of the last @anoma integrates the cross-chain of Cosmos, the smart contracts of Ethereum, the privacy of Zcash, and the modular design of Polkadot, but also has its own original "intent-driven" system that allows users to operate the blockchain like "making a wish", with the goal of making Web3 as easy and secure as using WeChat. So that's the answer to the question at the beginning of the article. It's just too rolly. Come on brothers, stay tuned. 👍
