Zama is an open-source cryptography company pioneering Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology to enable confidential smart contracts and encrypted data processing on blockchain and AI applications. Their technology stack includes TFHE-rs, a Rust-based FHE library, and Concrete, a compiler that converts Python programs into FHE-enabled applications. Zama's flagship product, fhEVM, extends the Ethereum Virtual Machine to run smart contracts on encrypted inputs and states, allowing private transactions, confidential tokens, and secure decentralized finance (DeFi) use cases. The project focuses on privacy for blockchain, AI, and cloud computing, supporting complex encrypted computations with threshold cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs to ensure security and trustlessness.
