@zama is an open source cryptography company building state-of-the-art Fully Homomorphic Encryption solutions for blockchain and AI. Founded by Dr. Pascal Paillier and Dr. Rand Hindi, the company achieved unicorn status in June 2025 with a valuation over $1 billion.
Core Technology
Zama's approach is built on the TFHE (Torus Fully Homomorphic Encryption) scheme, which enables unlimited exact computations on encrypted data. What makes their implementation special:
Unlike other cryptographic approaches that require approximations or limited operation depths, TFHE supports arbitrary computations while maintaining perfect accuracy – crucial for financial applications where precision matters.
Programmable Bootstrapping: Zama's variant of TFHE uses programmable bootstrapping to evaluate univariate functions homomorphically, while addition is evaluated in a leveled way. This breakthrough makes FHE practical for complex operations like neural network activation functions.
