Blockchains won’t be ready for mass adoption until they go from public-by-default → private-by-default.
No bank will move $100T of #RWAs onchain if every competitor can see their positions.
Blockchain transparency is a feature but it’s also a bug, irl.
That’s what @zama_fhe is fixing.
The Zama Confidential Blockchain Protocol uses Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to keep data encrypted at all times.
So you still get public verifiability. But no one can sees ur balances, amounts, or contract logic unless you allow it.
This unlocks real adoption:
🔹 Confidential stablecoins → private payroll, payments, remittances.
🔹 RWA tokenization → stocks, bonds, credit on public chains without leaking flows.
🔹 Confidential DeFi → swaps, lending, yield farming with no MEV.
🔹 Identity & governance → encrypted IDs, confidential votes, onchain compliance without exposing user data.
And it works on top of Ethereum, Solana, Base, so no need to bridge to a new chain.
Zama is already fast enough to run Ethereum privately (20 tps today), scaling toward 1,000+ tps with better hardware.
With Zama, you don’t have to choose between blockchain transparency and real-world confidentiality.
Zama is making both possible at once.
Zama public testnet is still live, with mainnet coming in Q4 and $ZAMA as well, so there are many exciting thing in the coming days to make blockchain mass adoption!
Over the last two weeks, I’ve been diving into what @zama_fhe is shipping in the privacy space with confidential smart contracts in action, powered by #FHE.
This week is focused on the real-world use cases that Zama’s confidential smart contracts are offering 👇🏻
[1] Finance
– Confidential payments: stablecoins with encrypted balances/amounts + built-in compliance
– #RWA tokenization: move $100T+ of assets on-chain privately
– Confidential DeFi: private swaps, lending, yield farming with zero MEV
[2] Tokens & Auctions
– Sealed-bid #NFT/token auctions with fair price discovery
– Confidential airdrops, grants, and vesting without revealing amounts
[3] Identity & Governance
– On-chain identity: encrypted personal data that is still verifiable
– Confidential voting: #DAO/government votes without revealing who voted for what
[4] Advanced
– On-chain corporations: cap tables, financials, and board votes managed privately
– Prediction markets: encrypted predictions to reduce bias
– AI data markets: sell your data for AI training while keeping control + royalties
These use cases are about to unlock the 99% of apps that never made it on-chain because there was no privacy layer.
And it works without touching the base chain.
The mainnet and #TGE is coming in Q4 2025. So you can start try the app testnet now (links in the cmt).
