Summary
As the founder of the Mandragora organization and as a core contributor of Namada, I am offering a $10k bounty in USDC for the development of an innovative Anoma application.
Procedures
Propose on this topic an innovative Anoma application to be developed, with clear milestones to achieve.
Potential collective funding
Feel free to increase the amount of this bounty whether you are an individual, the Anoma Foundation, or another organization.
Anoma been an intent centric machine, provides a powerful foundation for building applications that prioritize user sovereignty, privacy, and interoperability across chains.
This proposal introduces AnonDID Oracle, an innovative Anoma application that enables privacy-preserving decentralized identity verification and credential issuance. Users can prove attributes (e.g., age, nationality, or professional certifications) without revealing underlying personal data, leveraging Anoma’s Multi-Asset Shielded Pool (MASP) for shielded computations and Namada’s privacy primitives for secure cross-chain credential portability.The core innovation lies in integrating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) with Anoma’s intent gossip protocol, allowing users to issue “intent-based credentials” that resolve dynamically across ecosystems (e.g., IBC-connected chains like Cosmos or Ethereum bridges). This addresses a critical gap in Web3: verifiable identities without centralized trust or data leakage, enabling use cases like anonymous KYC for DeFi lending, shielded voting in DAOs, or private access to NFT-gated communities. Unlike existing DID solutions (e.g., uPort or Civic), AnonDID Oracle is fully on-chain, intent-driven, and multichain-agnostic, reducing oracle dependencies and enhancing composability.The application will be developed as a modular Anoma resource (using Rust-based intent machinery) with a user-friendly CLI and web interface, deployable on Namada for initial testing and extensible to full Anoma shards.Key FeaturesShielded Credential Issuance: Issuers (e.g., universities or governments) mint verifiable credentials as shielded NFTs/tokens, provable via ZK-SNARKs without exposing details.
Intent-Centric Resolution: Users broadcast intents like “prove I’m over 18 for loan access” via Anoma’s gossip network; solvers (validators) match and verify privately.
Cross-Chain Portability: Seamless bridging of credentials via Namada’s IBC support, with privacy preserved end-to-end.
Revocation and Auditing: Time-bound credentials with selective disclosure for compliance, plus optional audit trails for regulators.
Incentives: Token rewards for credential issuers and verifiers, drawn from a DAO-governed pool.
This app democratizes privacy-focused identity, fostering adoption in DeFi, social tokens, and governance while aligning with Anoma’s vision of user-centric data control.Technical ApproachStack: Built on Anoma’s intent-centric architecture (using the Anoma SDK for Rust), integrating Namada’s MASP for shielded transfers and Taiga for ZKPs. Off-chain components use wasm for lightweight provers.
Privacy Primitives: Leverage Anoma’s resource model for isolated credential “shards” and fractal scaling for high-throughput verifications.
Security: Audited ZKP circuits (via tools like Halo2), with formal verification of intent matching to prevent front-running.
User Experience: A simple intent composer UI (React-based) for non-technical users, with wallet integration for Namada.

Intermedial is a decentralized marketplace for qualified discovery and real-time coordination of intermedia art collaborations. Artists, collectives, and nonhuman agents broadcast what media they possess (original literary works, video, music, sensor data, generative outputs) and what they seek, using constraint-based intents rather than manual searching. (For example: a poet holds nature-themed verses and broadcasts “[seeking: pastoral video, constraints: slow-paced, outdoor, natural-light]” while a videographer holds forest footage and broadcasts “[seeking: contemplative text, constraints: nature, philosophical]”—the solver identifies the compatibility and pairs them.)
Anoma’s solver network identifies compatible counterparties, from basic bilateral discovery to complex multi-party scenarios. As the culture develops, Massive Multiparty Intermedia (MMI) projects are generated involving dozens of simultaneous participants; artworks including nonhuman agents, perhaps in the form of biodata from organisms or even stochastic inputs from inorganic systems (in the tradition of Fluxus, from whom this project takes its name) begin to put eyes on Intermedial as a real site of avant garde art production. Artists declare constraints like “[seeking: contemplative video + ambient soundscape + real-time weather data, constraints: nocturnal, slow-tempo, <40 BPM]” and the system orchestrates discovery, settlement, and live streaming of the resulting collaborative work.
The platform’s dependency graphs could enable sophisticated economic layers: NFT royalty distribution traced through intent chains, reputation-based trust networks for mutual liquidity provisioning with artist/collective tokens, and zero-knowledge coordination for politically sensitive MMI works where participants maintain privacy while proving constraint satisfaction. As a permissionless p2p app, the potential for provocative structures that touch politics, social impact, or even social ontology is endless.
The working prototype simulates this architecture with three discovery patterns: two-party (text+video bilateral matching), multiparty (Woolf’s The Waves + video + ambient music requiring three-way constraint alignment), and interspecies (gothic novel + surrealist film + simulated wolf GPS data that modulates text selection based on animal behavior). The simulation uses open archive materials (Project Gutenberg texts, Internet Archive public domain films) out of necessity for demonstration, but the production version would feature original user-submitted works with proper rights management. Match scoring is currently deterministic tag-based logic (0.85-0.92 range based on constraint overlap) running client-side; production implementation would use Anoma’s distributed solver network with privacy-preserving revelation policies. The demo successfully proves the UX pattern: users see active channels (settled intents), unfulfilled intents seeking counterparties, and real-time multimedia coordination when matches occur.
Milestone 1: Core Intent Infrastructure
Replace client-side matching simulation with Anoma network’s intent broadcasting infrastructure
Implement revelation policies (public/trusted_solvers/private) for constraint privacy
Build resource functions to verify pairing validity and settlement rules
Support counter-offers and partial match negotiation (“90% constraint match—proceed?”)
Milestone 2: Multiparty Coordination
Extend solver logic for N-party intent alignment (currently limited to 3-party demonstration)
Implement dependency graph tracking for intent chains (Intent A enables B which enables C)
Build MMI orchestration: coordinate >10 simultaneous participants with complex constraint sets
Add dynamic constraint adjustment (participants modify preferences based on available counterparties)
Milestone 3: Economic & Trust Layer
NFT minting for settled collaborations with automatic royalty distribution via dependency graphs
Reputation system for trust networks and mutual liquidity provisioning
Integration with artist/collective tokens for collaborative funding mechanisms
Settlement verification and dispute resolution protocols
Milestone 4: Advanced Discovery Patterns
Nonhuman agent SDK for sensors, environmental data, generative systems to express intents
Zero-knowledge coordination for sensitive content (political MMI with participant privacy)
Time-based and conditional intents (trigger at specific moments, expire after duration)
Stochastic matching modes (Cage-inspired chance operations in counterparty selection)
Milestone 5: Production Launch
User-submitted original content with rights management and licensing constraints
Live streaming infrastructure for real-time collaborative playback
Discovery feed UI showing compatible unfulfilled intents based on user’s media holdings
Community moderation tools and content verification for archive integrity
Guys, I’d like to know what’s your honest take on the above ideas - I’ll be waiting for more ones.
Some updates have been made to the demo here - it is still quite primitive (am working alone for now and not a dev) but it has login and a real counterparty discovery function. Of course, this pales in comparison to what Anoma will allow, both in terms of nuance and sophistication of the aesthetic intents and the financial layer that could be added (perhaps along the channels defined by Economic Space Agency).
