As privacy is becoming more of a focus than ever, I think its important to understand what and why FHE actually matters Crypto's been obsessed with ZK for years. But ZK can only prove something happened without revealing it. FHE lets you actually compute on encrypted data. That sounds like a small difference. It's not. With ZK, you can't build composable privacy. Imagine poker where everyone reveals their cards to verify the game state. Broken. With FHE, cards stay face down the whole time. For DeFi, the problem isn't proving you have funds. It's keeping your positions hidden while you swap, stake, and trade. Institutions need this. Whales need this or they get hunted. OpenZeppelin already shipped confidential token standards using Zama's fhEVM. It's live now. Sealed bid auctions with encrypted bids. Onchain games where moves stay hidden. Private governance where votes are sealed. Battle royales. RWA tokenization without exposing holders. None of this works with ZK. Zama's coprocessor already does 20 TPS, faster than Ethereum's average. They're building ASICs for 10,000+ TPS. Testnet is live. Ethereum mainnet Q4 2025. Solana 2026. FHE actually unlocks composable privacy. Most people haven't even heard of it yet. That's where the alpha is. @zama
