Why FHE Could Be a Game-Changer for Blockchain
Zama is a pioneering company in the field of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) — a form of encryption that allows data to be processed while still encrypted. This is groundbreaking because while blockchain is transparent by design, privacy remains a major concern: anyone can see on-chain data.

FHE changes that. Zama is building tools that allow:

Blockchain applications to process private data without ever decrypting it.

Users to retain full control over their data, even when interacting with smart contracts.

The creation of FHE-native blockchains, like the fhEVM (FHE + Ethereum Virtual Machine).

Key use cases include:

Private transactions, like Zcash, but with full smart contract support.

Anonymous DAO voting that cannot be traced.

On-chain data analytics without revealing raw data.

Decentralized finance, healthcare, and insurance apps that handle sensitive information while preserving privacy.
