Zama has raised $130M Backed by Pantera Capital and Multicoin But what's under the hood? Explaining in simple words + some tips 🧵👇

What is it ? @zama_fhe 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 You can check out my previous posts and learn how to jump in: My friend @DeRonin_ 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
