Zama is building privacy mode for all blockchains

Like Incognito Tab, but for smart contracts

Instead of launching their own chain, they created a layer that brings encrypted smart contracts to any existing chain

Think of it like adding a privacy filter on top of Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche

You use it like usual, but no one sees what’s going on under the hood

How?

They use FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption)

Crazy name, but here's a simple example:

Imagine you're baking a cake inside a locked box

You can't open the box, but somehow you can still measure, mix, and bake through special gloves attached to the box

That’s FHE

The cake bakes while staying private the whole time

Why it matters?

Today, every time you use a blockchain - your wallet, actions, and balances are visible to everyone

Imagine doing your online banking, but on a public livestream

Zama says: nope, not anymore

With Zama, you can still trade, stake, vote, whatever

But no one knows what you’re doing unless you give permission

How it works technically?

They built FHEVM

It’s like MetaMask but for encrypted logic, smart contracts that handle private info without exposing it

Like a voting app where no one sees your vote, but everyone trusts the count is correct

And they added support tools like Coprocessors and Gateway

So encrypted actions don’t feel like using Windows 98

Key Features

• Quantum-Resistant

Imagine hackers in the future with supercomputers, FHE is built to resist even those threats

• Composable

Think of LEGO blocks, Zama’s privacy layer snaps into any blockchain stack

• Performance-Optimized Runtime

Zama’s runtime is designed to handle complex encrypted operations at speed, thanks to aggressive optimizations in TFHE-rs.

• Verifiable

Like turning in homework where the teacher confirms you did it right

But never sees the answers

These 4 things make Zama strong and working machine for privacy

So, what to do with that info ?

They dropped a testnet, and a lot of smart folks are already writing about it

My friend Ronin shared a theory that such a project is very likely to appear on Kaito

Which means you can create content about the project now to end up in the TOP of Kaito leaderboard later
