Anoma’s 3rd Generation Blockchain Architecture
According to Anoma, this significant endorsement demonstrates the confidence industry players have in their innovative intent-centric architecture. This includes new primitives set to bring full decentralization to Web2.5 apps, such as rollups, DEX, and NFT marketplaces.
“We are thrilled to have co-led this fundraiser for Anoma.said Charlie Morris, co-founder and managing partner of CMCC Global. he added:
“The team is pushing the boundaries of protocol design and reimagining how base layer infrastructure should work.It’s refreshing to see Anoma’s design and philosophy against a group of homogeneous layer 1 smart contract platforms“
In addition to supporting further development of the blockchain architecture, the Anoma Foundation will use its $25 million war fund to fund ongoing research and development initiatives. The funding is also important for developing tools that help drive adoption across the ecosystem.
Anoma Foundation’s Namada blockchain, which provides users with multi-chain privacy, is nearing its mainnet launch.
In recent weeks, the nonprofit has been looking to integrate with several major ecosystem platforms and networks ahead of its launch.
As reported by CoinJournal, this includes proposals to offer shielded airdrops to Zcash (ZEC) and Osmosis (OSMO) holders. The proposal also includes a subsidy pool and a bridge to top blockchains Ethereum and Cosmos.
