The two programmers at the next table are chatting. One says: "Bro, my girlfriend found my Wallet Address, and last night she directly checked my hidden stash."
Another one laughed and said: "This is not decentralization, it's 'de-privatization'!"
Listening to my heart, I thought, isn't this the problem in the entire crypto circle right now?
Everyone is studying DeFi, AI, and meme coins every day, making a big fuss about it. But who still cares about privacy?
Wallet, transaction records, on-chain data, all exposed.
Recently, I came across a project - @zama_fhe.
This thing looks different at first glance: it's specifically focused on privacy, and not in a slogan-like way of "we value user data security," but truly making breakthroughs in technology.
It uses something that sounds like science fiction—Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
It's okay if you don't understand; I was confused at first too.
In simpler terms, this thing allows others to help you calculate, verify, and process data without opening the locked file box.
For example, if you want to calculate profits or train an AI model, but the data is all encrypted, it can still complete the process, and the results are correct.
Zama is the company that turns this thing into reality.
The founders Pascal Paillier and Rand Hindi are both old monsters in the crypto circle.
Valuation exceeded 1 billion USD, raised 150 million in funding, led by Pantera.
Other companies only tell stories, they directly launch products:
fhEVM: Can run encrypted smart contracts
Concrete ML: AI running on encrypted data
TFHE-rs: A high-performance library written in Rust
Moreover, their progress has been ridiculously fast recently.
The public testnet was launched in July, the developer program and Bounty Season 10 were pushed in September, and we collaborated with OpenZeppelin to work on privacy Relayer.
FHE performance is not just for fun; from being as slow as a turtle → speeding up by 20 times, with TPS directly in the thousands.
More importantly, they will launch the mainnet at the end of the year and will issue $ZAMA.
You taste it—there's a high probability of an airdrop this time, it's definitely not small fish.
But why hasn't it taken off yet?
To put it bluntly, it's too hardcore.
Everyone loves to chase the lively narrative, and Zama, which focuses on underlying privacy infrastructure, is like a server room—usually no one praises it, but once the power goes out, the entire network explodes.
My current feeling is:
Projects like Zama, the longer they are ignored, the more explosive they become when they finally emerge.
Just like when Ethereum first talked about smart contracts back in the day, no one understood it either.
Now privacy computing, AI encryption, and on-chain security integration may support the next cycle relying on such projects.
