Existing solutions (e.g., mixnets, zk-privacy schemes, off-chain relayers) often trade off composability or sacrifice verifiability, which are core properties of smart contracts.
@zama proposes a different approach: Confidential Smart Contracts powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
FHE enables:
+ Computation directly on encrypted data: contracts can execute full logic without ever decrypting sensitive inputs.
+ Preserved composability and on-chain verification: privacy of inputs is maintained while outputs remain publicly verifiable.
+ No protocol changes required: transactions remain fast and fully compatible with today’s blockchain infrastructure.
With Confidential Smart Contracts, DeFi can enter a new paradigm:
+ Users: protect their identity, positions, and trading strategies.
+ Protocols: maintain transparency, auditability, and scalability.
+ Regulators: gain access to auditable decryption events, ensuring compliance when necessary.
