A lot of people say “intents are just limit orders.” Adrian Brink, co-founder of @anoma & @namada, explains why they’re not.

In this KBX fireside, we explore generalized intents, solvers & how Anoma takes a novel approach compared to traditional state machines.

00:00 - What are intents and intent-based systems?
00:25 - Are intents just limit orders?
01:03 - What are generalized intents?
02:10 - Anoma Resource Machine vs. traditional virtual machines
03:05 - Composability across all applications is possible, but solving is hard
04:00 - Privacy is a user-side choice, not a developer choice
04:55 - Problem of incentivizing generalized solving
05:45 - Intent fees and settlement
08:00 - Subsidizing solvers vs. retroactive funding

Namada is an IBC-based, PoS Layer 1 blockchain redefining privacy in a multi-asset, interchain era. Cosmos/Ethereum-compatible. → namada.net
