Hi Zama Believers ! 💛 #ZamaCreatorProgram today i read zama’s tweet about the ACL feature and went straight to the docs to really understand how it works. after digging through everything, i think i can explain it in the simplest way possible. the ACL is basically the part of @zama 's protocol that decides who’s actually allowed to touch an encrypted value. because in FHE, things are so private that even the contract holding the ciphertext can’t interact with it unless you explicitly give permission. -> and that’s exactly where ACL shows up. <- it lets you define very specific access rules, like: • who can compute on a ciphertext • who’s allowed to decrypt something • whether the access is permanent or just temporary for a single transaction • or if the final result should become publicly decryptable (like the last reveal in a vote or auction) the cool part is how clean the idea feels once you get it. the data stays locked, but ACL gives you tiny, precise keys depending on what your app needs. no weird overexposure, no accidental leaks, just controlled privacy that still keeps things usable. and honestly, once you understand ACL, the whole “how do private smart contracts even work?” question suddenly makes sense. it’s one of the quiet features that holds the entire FHE experience together. 💛
