ZAMA FHE AS THE BRIDGE BETWEEN TRADFI AND WEB3 COMPLIANCE @zama In finance, privacy and compliance often clash regulators demand transparency, while users demand confidentiality. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) offers a third path: computation without exposure, bridging the gap between TradFi oversight and Web3 autonomy. Traditional finance (TradFi) systems rely on strict compliance rules KYC, AML, and auditability that require access to sensitive data. In contrast, Web3 systems prioritize decentralization and pseudonymity, often leaving compliance as an afterthought. The result? A fractured landscape where privacy and regulation exist in opposition, preventing true institutional participation in decentralized finance (DeFi). The purpose of integrating FHE is to reconcile privacy with compliance by allowing verifiable computations over encrypted data. This means on-chain compliance checks (like AML scoring, credit risk analysis, or sanctions screening) can occur without revealing underlying personal data enabling a trustworthy bridge between regulated finance and decentralized protocols. Zama’s FHEVM extends the Ethereum Virtual Machine with native homomorphic capabilities, allowing smart contracts to operate directly on encrypted data. Financial institutions can therefore perform audits, validate transactions, and enforce compliance policies without decrypting sensitive information. In this model, user data remains confidential, but results such as verification or compliance status remain transparent and auditable. Previous approaches to privacy in DeFi such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) either focused on proof generation without computation flexibility (ZK) or relied on trusted hardware (TEE). Neither allows continuous computation on encrypted data. FHE closes this gap by enabling secure data processing at runtime, supporting both privacy-preserving DeFi and regulatory visibility. ▫️Data Encryption: User or institutional data is encrypted client-side using Zama’s TFHE scheme. ▫️Encrypted Computation: The FHEVM processes transactions, interest calculations, or compliance logic without decrypting. ▫️Regulatory Integration: Compliance oracles can verify encrypted outputs for policy adherence (e.g., AML thresholds). ▫️Selective Disclosure: Only compliance results are made public, the underlying user data remains private. ▫️Audit Layer: Auditors can review proofs of compliance without accessing personal or transactional details. ▫️TradFi institutions can securely interact with DeFi protocols while maintaining regulatory integrity. ▫️On-chain financial operations gain confidentiality without sacrificing verifiability. ▫️Data privacy aligns with global compliance frameworks, paving the way for institutional DeFi adoption. ▫️Developers gain a privacy-preserving infrastructure compatible with existing EVM tooling. Zama’s FHEVM acts as a compliance-grade privacy layer, allowing traditional finance and Web3 to coexist. It transforms confidential data from a liability into a computational asset usable, auditable, but never exposed. CONCLUSION FHE is not just a cryptographic innovation it’s a philosophical bridge. It redefines trust by proving that privacy and regulation don’t have to be adversaries. With Zama leading the charge, we’re entering an era where financial integrity is verifiable yet invisible, enabling a compliant, confidential, and interoperable Web3 future. #ZamaCreatorProgram @randhindi @farcaster
