I just want to live in a world where I tell a crypto app what I want, on what chain, and it does it.

Remember when @jameswynnreal was hunted on @hyperliquid because his perp positions were completely visible?

@MustStopMurad and @blknoiz06 can't significantly exit or change meme positions without destroying the chart.

Total transparency isn't serious.

In a few weeks, developers can start testing intent-based applications that were previously impossible.

Not just copy-cat versions of existing DeFi apps, but entirely new categories of multiparty coordination across chains.

Brace yourself: paradigm shift loading.

"Buy some ETH on Coinbase. Bridge to Arbitrum.
Then bridge to Base...but wait, make sure you have ETH for gas on each.
You sent to the wrong address. Base ETH, not Arbitrum ETH ..."

This isn't user experience. This is user punishment.

Crypto doesn't need transparency. It needs verifiability.

Verifiability: Knowing your assets are where they should be and doing what they say they'll do.

Transparency: everyone seeing your business.

No real company will ever accept the latter.

@Anoma enables verifiable on-chain privacy.

Crypto app builders don't get nearly enough attention.

Who are your favorite builders on @anoma + other ecosystems?

Give them the credit they deserve in the comments 👇

One of the biggest ZK "privacy" chains spent millions launching private state with no intent layer for counter-party coordination.

It was doomed from the start.
Apps can't interact with each other.
Just isolated, private silos.

Even private apps need coordination systems.

The rollup roadmap after 5 years!

And unless something major happens in the next ~35 days all Stage 1 L2s, except 2, will go back to Stage 0.

This is not what a successful tech rollout looks like and deep down we all know it but are too afraid to admit it.

Maybe now is the time to fundamentally think about the actual architecture for the multichain ecosystem if our ambitions are still to provide global coordination infrastructure!

btw, @Anoma solvers would solve the ETH fragmentation issue.

you build one app, it works across all chains.

true abstraction: a whole lot simpler than explaining to my parents why there are 15 L2s but nothing to do on them.

Spoke at ZuBerlin @BerBlockWeek last week.

Watched as the ETH ecosystem tries to fix its sucking chest wound with 15,000 ecosystems and no idea how they are supposed to work together practically.

This is absurd. It's time we defragmented crypto.

Web3 gaming fails because it's still Web2 gaming with tokenized rewards.

Real Web3 gaming requires multiparty coordination, private state, and automated economic mechanisms.

Flexible architecture like @Anoma is about to make games local for speed and global for impact.

I'm starting to wonder if Western CT is just 1,000 people with alts shilling number-go-up economics.

Meanwhile, Asian retail is actually buying and using tokens.

Tell me I'm wrong.

"How do you cold start a solver or validator network?"

Wrong question. Solvers and validators just go where there is money to be made.

If you need to keep paying them after launch, you have a protocol design problem, not a bootstrap problem.

The free market launch!

Ensure that people that want out have to sell at the lowest possible, so that people that want to join the community can buy at the lowest possible price point!

Why would you want to structure a token launch to benefit the people that want to leave?

Ethereum really hasn't about interop much beyond what Across does!

Actual interop is a problem that can be solved by better technology rather than only market economics

Cryptographers originally promised "transparency" but what they actually wanted was verifiability.

Your assets are where they say they are, doing what they say they're doing.

We can get that without revealing trade secrets on-chain — but only with the right architecture.

Yesterday I made the first large scale payment (200k USDC) using @namada for true shielded privacy!

It involved @ethereum , @base , @noble_xyz , and @namada !

The future of multichain privacy is here!

Watching memecoins hit eight-figure market caps is a fun short-term fix.

I prefer real tech that lasts past one hopium cycle.

Developers can now write real transactions and test against solver nodes on Anoma devnet.

Intent-based apps are coming. Crypto will never be the same.

Every bridge eventually gets hacked.

That's why chains should focus on execution first.

That's why intents are the real end game.
