š What is Zama?
@Zama is an open-source company and project specializing in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) ā one of the most advanced encryption technologies today. FHE allows data to be processed while still encrypted, meaning computations can be performed without ever needing to decrypt the data, ensuring complete privacy.
š What does Zama do in Web3?
Zama is bringing FHE to blockchain by:
ā
Enabling smart contracts to operate on private data without decrypting it.
ā
Providing privacy-preserving encryption primitives, allowing DeFi projects, decentralized identity (DID), DAO voting, and more to protect user data.
ā
Developing TFHE-rs, an open-source Rust library for FHE.
ā
Partnering with multiple blockchains like Aleo, Fhenix, and Ethereum (via Layer 2s) to deploy real-world FHE applications.
š” Why is Zama important?
Zama is one of the first teams to make FHE usable in practice ā not just theoretical. This unlocks the future of:
Private smart contracts, instead of fully public logic and data.
Secure and anonymous DAO voting.
Private DeFi transactions, enabling transparent computation with anonymous personal data.
š§ The Zama Team
Zama was founded by cryptography experts, including:
Pascal Paillier ā creator of the Paillier cryptosystem.
Rand Hindi ā PhD in AI, featured in Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe.
