Zama is a groundbreaking blockchain technology that focuses on providing confidentiality for smart contracts, enabling the execution of transactions without exposing sensitive data. It uses Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a highly advanced cryptographic technique that allows computations to be performed directly on encrypted data, ensuring end-to-end confidentiality. Zama’s protocol operates as a cross-chain confidentiality layer, meaning it integrates seamlessly with existing blockchain networks (both Layer 1 and Layer 2), enabling developers to add confidential capabilities to their decentralized applications (dApps) without the need for a separate blockchain.
