Blockchains usually can’t run Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) natively due to limited computing power.
@zama solves this with two key ideas: Symbolic Execution and Threshold Decryption.
Symbolic execution means the host chain (L1/L2) doesn’t do FHE calculations itself.
Instead, it sends a pointer and triggers coprocessors, which perform the FHE computations off-chain.
This keeps the host chain fast, lets FHE tasks run in parallel, and allows chaining encrypted operations efficiently.
All coprocessor work is publicly verifiable, and later anyone will be able to compete by proving correctness using ZK-FHE.
Threshold decryption secures the private decryption key by splitting it among multiple parties using a Multi-Party Computation (MPC)-based Key Management Service (KMS).
Only authorized users/contracts can request decryption via the Zama Gateway, ensuring all decryptions follow smart contract rules with full transparency.
