The high level of security provided by FHE makes it a key player in the era of quantum computing.
Zama not only ensures quantum resilience but also enhances privacy by eliminating the need to decrypt data during processing.

You can now earn yield on your Confidential USDC with Morpho! 🦋
Our mission at Zama is to bring confidentiality to financial transactions on public blockchains, the same way HTTPS makes it safe to send your credit card to a website. With nearly $200m shielded since we launched earlier this year, the question is no longer whether people want privacy onchain, but rather how we can make all of onchain finance confidential, from payments to swaps, lending and yield.
Today we're proud to announce our first DeFi integration, with Morpho, letting you deposit Confidential USDC (cUSDC) into Steakhouse’s USDC Prime vault.
This is not a new vault strategy, and not a new lending protocol. It's the actual Steakhouse Prime USDC strategy, on the actual Morpho protocol. You use it exactly as you would today, except your balances and positions stay fully confidential. Morpho handles $11B+ in deposits for the likes of Coinbase, Bitwise and Société Générale, and Steakhouse curates over $4.5B in TVL, so we're bringing confidentiality where the liquidity already is.
The way it works is simple. When you make a Confidential USDC deposit, it joins a batch with other users' deposits. Once the deposit period has ended, the aggregated USDC are unshielded, and deposited in the Morpho Steakhouse vault, with the resulting vault shares reshielded and redistributed pro-rata to the depositors. The total batch amount is public, but the individual deposits stay confidential. It also means you hold the vault shares directly yourself.
This batching approach is generic and can work for vault deposits, swaps, staking, voting, and any other DeFi action. Natively confidential DeFi protocols will offer even stronger privacy guarantees, and we're building those too, but batching lets confidential tokens plug into the existing public protocols where the liquidity sits today.
Over the coming months, we'll extend our Morpho integration across all major stablecoin currencies, including USD, EUR and GBP, so you can earn yield no matter which one you want to hold.
Shield your USDC on https://t.co/idA1alwdJE and start earning when the vault opens next week. We are adding extra incentives for the next 3 months on a first come first serve basis!
Let’s encrypt all the money!
JUST IN:
The First DeFi Yield Venue for Confidential USDC (cUSDC) in Partnership with @Morpho and @SteakhouseFi
The Zama Protocol made confidential tokens possible on Ethereum. The next step is giving them utility.
Vault opens June 23.
Deposit Confidential Tokens with @zama on Morpho
Institutional allocators, corporate treasuries and market participants can earn yield from @SteakhouseFi curated Morpho Vaults without disclosing their balances or strategies
Your transactions are your business.
A confidential Steakhouse USDC Prime vault is coming with @Zama and @Morpho.
Curated by Steakhouse, powered by @Morpho and @zama.
The thesis is simple: confidentiality shouldn't cost you UX. Shield the assets you already use, on the chains you're already on. No new wallets. No bridging. Balances and transfers, encrypted onchain.
The Zama app goes live on Wednesday, 12PM CET.
One of the most underrated pieces of the @zama Protocol stack is the SDK.
The SDK gives developers a simple way to build confidential applications powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) without needing to become cryptography experts first.
Instead of dealing with the complexities of encryption under the hood, developers can focus on building products while the SDK handles key interactions such as:
🔐 Encrypting user inputs before they reach the blockchain
🔓 Decrypting outputs when users are authorized to view them
📊 Querying confidential on-chain state
⚡ Integrating with familiar tools like Ethers, Viem, Wagmi, and React .
This means developers can build applications where balances, transfers, positions, votes, orders, and other sensitive data remain private on-chain while still benefiting from blockchain security and composability.
The result? A much smoother path to building confidential DeFi, private payments, on-chain identity systems, enterprise applications, gaming experiences, and entirely new categories of apps that weren't practical on transparent blockchains.

Now live: custody + staking for ethereum:0xa12cc123ba206d4031d1c7f6223d1c2ec249f4f3.
@zama enables issuing, trading, and managing digital assets confidentially on any public blockchain.
We're providing secure, institution-grade custody and staking for the ZAMA token.
If you aren't paying attention to what @zama is doing with COMPOSABLE PRIVACY, you're completely missing the next major macro shift.
We are entering an era where you can seamlessly utilize public assets for confidential execution on a public blockchain.
The friction is gone:
❌ No separate stealth addresses.
❌ No liquidity-splitting bridges.
❌ No isolated privacy networks.
This frictionless distribution is exactly what will onboard the next trillions into Web3. True confidentiality, natively integrated into the public rails we already use.
Position accordingly. ethereum:0xa12cc123ba206d4031d1c7f6223d1c2ec249f4f3 🤫
This week we hosted a privacy panel with @sergey_nog (@arc), @randhindi (@zama) and @yrschrade (@Arcium)
3 clips below on what's actually shifting for privacy in crypto 👇
1. A real case for compliant privacy.
Last week, Zama's cUSDC contract was temporarily frozen due to a court order in an unrelated case. During the proceedings, the common misconception came up that privacy protocols are just mixers for money laundering.
Once Zama got to explain to the court what the tech actually does, that misunderstanding got cleared up and the freeze was lifted within 10 minutes. Probably the fastest reversal of a court order freezing crypto assets ever.
It showed how much misunderstanding still exists around privacy tech in general. But it also showed that having a real compliance posture goes a long way when you're trying to build trust with institutions.
@randhindi (@zama) on what happened
Welcome to Stablecoin Day. 🏦
@bilalelalamy opens with @zama’s thesis: FHE lets blockchains process encrypted data without ever decrypting it - compliant transactions, private balances, on-chain confidentiality.
Speakers from BPI, Natixis, CRYMBO, NGPES, and more up next.
At which point is enough enough? We have the tools to solve this, and it takes literally hours to integrate @zama into a payment infrastructure or stablecoin neobank product. Ask @raycashxyz , they did it
We are rallying the entire ecosystem. Every touchpoint across the token lifecycle will require confidential token support. Integrations from key pillars of crypto infrastructure will catalyze utility, adoption, and growth of the ecosystem.
T-REX has $100B in committed RWAs. Shielding just 5% with @zama instantly makes it the largest privacy protocol in Web3.
Institutions need compliance + confidentiality. $ZAMA + FHE delivers.
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.”
