The Zama Protocol makes onchain confidentiality programmable. Confidential tokens keep balances and transfers encrypted. Builders can integrate these primitives into the existing DeFi stack, and extend them with new privacy features. @Raycashxyz is doing exactly that.

Confidential tokens preserve public verifiability while keeping amounts and balances encrypted. But to make them the new default, we need to rally the entire stack of tools we already use today, wallets, explorers, indexers, and more. It's a big lift, and it's happening now. The work the team at Blockscout 🔭 did is a step in that direction: they're the first block explorer to natively support ERC-7984 confidential tokens, verifiable transfers with encrypted amounts. We recorded a demo with DOSH | 🦇🔊 from the Blockscout team, walking through how it works, and what explorers become when encrypted tokens are the default. This demo shows the work Zama is doing across the board: onboarding the tooling the ecosystem already relies on, so confidentiality onchain becomes the new normal, not the exception.

Confidentiality will continue to unlock new institutional capital onchain. This is just the start. $13 million has already been deposited into the Morpho 🦋 vault accepting confidential USDC (cUSDC) as the deposit asset. Public blockchains expose every position, every trade, every strategy. For institutions managing real capital, that's a non-starter. cUSDC changes the equation. Institutions can now earn yield from leading DeFi credit strategies on Morpho 🦋, curated by Steakhouse Financial, while keeping balances, allocations, and strategy confidential onchain. No exposure to competitors. No exposure to counterparties. No leaving DeFi. Zama is building utility for confidential assets. Yield on Morpho 🦋 is just the first use case. More to come on the Zama Protocol.

Live demo in my interview with Zama CEO Rand on Ethereum. USDT was shielded and converted into confidential USDT 1:1. The chain can see that shielding happened, but every transfer after that is fully encrypted. $2 were sent. Etherscan shows the transfer, not the amount. It could be $2, $5, or $1M. This demo shows how FHE enables private transfers in seconds. Not minutes like ZK. Onchain privacy is finally usable on Ethereum.

Rand Hindi reveals how just 5% of one RWA protocol could make Zama the largest privacy protocol in crypto: “T-REX already has $100 billion committed to its protocol. If just 5% of those existing commitments get shielded with Zama, it would make Zama the largest privacy protocol by total value shielded.” “Privacy is still tiny today compared to the enormity of finance moving onchain. We talk about billions in DeFi today, but we’re going to be talking about trillions.”

"Confidentiality growing will definitely be a major thing to help institutional actors move to the blockchain: interbank settlements that want to remain private, or just to move some of our day-to-day finances." — Hadrien Croubois, Smart Contract Engineer at OpenZeppelin From the Zama Builder Villa at EthCC[9]: Hadrien on why confidentiality is one of the biggest unsolved challenges on public blockchains, and how OpenZeppelin's work with Zama is changing that. ⬇️

TokenOps handled $2 billion in token distributions, vesting, and compliance flows all publicly visible onchain. Zama just acquired them and encrypted everything: FHE plus ERC-7984, auditable and private. Token unlocks, airdrops, allocations, payroll, vesting, all of it now confidential without leaving public blockchains. Andy calls Zama slept on, the token undervalued, and says this is where the privacy bid starts.

FHE has been getting ~10× faster per year over the past few years. Some of that comes from better cryptography, but most of the gains now are from hardware acceleration. Moving from CPU → GPU → FPGA → ASIC is basically how you go from ~10 confidential stablecoin transfers per second to ~100,000 confidential stablecoin transfers per second.

Institutions will bring trillions onchain. The pie is about to get way bigger. But they'll need privacy to do it. That's non-negotiable.

"You're BlackRock and you send JP Morgan money from one bank account to another. Would you want everybody to be able to see that?" "A lot of these chains, seeing the success of Canton and others, realize that institutions are not going to participate in crypto unless privacy is a given. Privacy, or we could even call it confidentiality in this case, like developing confidential transfers" "The problem with public blockchains is that you may not know it's my bank account and your bank account, but everybody can see where some money was sent, and with any decent onchain analysis, probably tie that to you. Institutions can't do that. The largest institutions on the planet need to know their transactions are completely confidential" "Ethereum Foundation researchers are launching an institutional grade privacy system called ETH Systems. They're developing confidential transfers, private bond issuance, privacy preserving identity, and confidential settlement systems designed specifically for institutional users"
