What is Zama?
@zama is an open-source cryptography project making blockchain privacy actually usable.
Instead of just hiding data at rest, Zama uses Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) — so your data stays encrypted even while it’s being processed.
Some highlights:
Fast FHE: Bootstrapping ciphertexts in 0.9 ms on GPU (faster than Ethereum L1 in many cases).
fhEVM support: Works with Solidity, enabling private stablecoin transfers, anonymous DAO voting, confidential DeFi, and more.
Open-source: Already integrating into EVM-compatible chains.
Backed by the best:
$57M Series B led by Pantera & Blockchange → valuing Zama at $1B+ (FHE’s first unicorn).
$100M+ raised in total, with earlier support from Multicoin & Protocol Labs.
Partnerships like Conduit to bring FHE to Ethereum and Solana.
In short: Zama isn’t just building tech. They’re building the future of private, programmable blockchains.
