Zama (ZAMA)

Zama’s homomorphic encryption tools allow developers to process data without the need for decryption. This technology enables the creation of private smart contracts on public, permissionless blockchains. With Zama’s tools, specific users can access transaction data and contract states while maintaining privacy and security.

What is Zama

The Zama Confidential Blockchain Protocol (or simply the Zama Protocol) enables confidential smart contracts on top of any L1 or L2. It is the most advanced confidentiality protocol to date, offering:

  • End-to-end encryption of transaction inputs and state: no-one can see the data, not even node operators.
  • Composability between confidential contracts, as well as with non-confidential ones. Developers can build on top of other contracts, tokens and dapps.
  • Programmable confidentiality: smart contracts define who can decrypt what, meaning developers have full control over confidentiality rules in their applications.

The Zama Protocol is not a new L1 or L2, but rather a cross-chain confidentiality layer sitting on top of existing chains. As such, users don’t need to bridge to a new chain and can interact with confidential dapps from wherever they choose.

Zama Roadmap

1
The Zama Protocol leverages years of research and development work done at Zama. The testnet is already live, and the mainnet is planned for 2025, with a TGE at the end of the year. The timeline is as follows:
  • Public Testnet (already live). This will allow anyone to deploy and test their confidential dapps, as well as enabling operators to coordinate and get used to the operations.
  • Ethereum Mainnet (Q4 2025). This will be the first official mainnet bringing confidentiality to Ethereum. Only apps that have been approved by Zama will be available at first.
  • TGE + other EVM chains (End of Year). Towards the end of the year, we will launch the $ZAMA token and add more EVM chains to the Zama protocol. Anyone will be able to deploy dapps, permissionlessly.
  • Solana support (2026). After an initial phase of EVM-only support, we will deploy the Zama Protocol on Solana, enabling confidential SVM applications.
