The $1B Privacy Protocol Nobody’s Talking About: ZAMA
Zama is the first Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) unicorn, enabling blockchains to compute on encrypted data without decryption. Its FHEVM, already live on Ethereum, brings true on-chain privacy and unlocks institutional adoption.
Backed by $150M+ funding at a $1B+ valuation (Pantera, Multicoin, Protocol Labs) with angels like Gavin Wood, Anatoly Yakovenko, and Juan Benet, and a 90+ team (~50% PhDs).
The ZAMA token launches via a sealed-bid Dutch auction using its own FHE tech (no front-running).
Stats: 11B supply, 12% sale, $0.005 floor (FDV $55M), Jan 21–24 on CoinList, fully unlocked Feb 2.
Use cases: private DeFi, confidential payments, hidden balances, encrypted identity.
Risks: FHE is compute-heavy; privacy regulation.
Verdict: One of crypto’s strongest privacy infrastructure plays.
Not financial advice. DYOR.
