Zama is partnering with @openzeppelin to bring confidential smart contracts to production. Think ERC20, but your balances and transactions are confidential by default.

OpenZeppelin, whose smart contract standards secure 218B in digital assets, is the gold standard for blockchain security. Together, we're building the confidentiality backbone financial institutions need.

Why this matters: institutions won't put real money onchain if everyone can see their transactions. With The Zama Protocol, you get blockchain's benefits (decentralization, composability, verifiability) without exposing sensitive data. Confidentiality is the foundation.

This sounds very promising! The concept of confidential smart contracts is a major breakthrough, especially for institutional adoption. I'm curious, how do Zama and OpenZeppelin address the challenges of scalability and privacy simultaneously?
