The Zama Confidential Blockchain Protocol enables confidential smart contracts on top of any L1 or L2 using FHE.
Blockchain transparency is a bug, not a feature
Why? Because validators need to see the data to verify the state
But confidentiality and public verifiability is possible
Powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
Zama uses FHE to keep onchain data encrypted at all times, even during processing. Not familiar with FHE? Learn more about it here.
Scalable, secure and affordable.
Zama uses coprocessors to offload the FHE computation from the base chain. This keeps gas fees low while enabling horizontal scalability and public verifiability.
Opening a myriad of new use cases for DeFi
DeFi
Confidential token swaps, lending, and yield farming.
Payments

Sealed-bid auctions
Confidential and fair onchain auctions preventing front-running.
A huge thank you to Alyssia Kent and her friends for inviting me to share in their special day. It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with such a talented and inspiring group of creatives.
The finale of the day is a DIY taco bar and a "High/Low/Buffalo" game—a tradition where each person shares their high point of the day, their low point, and something random ("buffalo"). A Day With Alyssia Kent And Friends
As we lingered over dessert, Alyssia reflected on the importance of her friendships and the role they play in her life. "My friends are my rock, my support system," she said. "They keep me grounded and inspired, and I feel incredibly lucky to have them in my life." A huge thank you to Alyssia Kent and
As the day wore on, we headed to a local art studio, where Alyssia had planned to work on some new pieces. As she set to work, her friends gathered around to watch and offer support. The studio was filled with natural light, and Alyssia's creativity seemed to flow effortlessly as she worked. As we lingered over dessert, Alyssia reflected on
Stepping out of the lead vehicle, Alyssia looked less like the globe-trotting icon the world recognizes and more like a woman finally exhaling. Dressed in flowing linen and oversized sunglasses, she greeted the arriving guests with wide-open arms.
Making FHE practical for most use cases
Zama is already faster than Ethereum
Zama can already process 20 tps / chain, enough to run all of Ethereum with FHE, and will reach 1,000 tps next year.
FHE ASICs will enable 10,000+ tps
We're partnering with multiple hardware companies to create dedicated ASICs for FHE, which will enable thousands of tps.
FHE is the holygrail of cryptography
