WE ARE IN MAINNET! We just did the first confidential USDT transfer on Ethereum. Our team cooked really hard to ship in 2025 as promised. Full details next week!

[Zama @zama]

The Decentralized Key Generation (DKG) ceremony for the Zama Mainnet has completed successfully.

Between 19:06 UTC on November 25, 2025 and 01:46 UTC on November 28, 2025, 13 independent parties jointly carried out one of the most advanced cryptographic protocols ever deployed in production.

All parties completed the protocol successfully, with no crashes, dropouts, or invalid messages.

A special thank you to the amazing companies running the Zama MPC protocol 💛

It’s been decades for some of our researchers; as a team, it’s been five years. Today, we can say we’re about to bring FHE to production.

Announcing the Zama Public Auction.

We’re selling 10% of the $ZAMA supply via a sealed-bid Dutch auction on Ethereum, using the Zama Protocol itself to keep bids confidential with FHE.

Why this matters:

◼️ Fair distribution & real price discovery
◼️ No bot sniping or gas wars
◼️ Tokens are unlocked immediately

🗓️ Auction: Jan 12–15
🗓️ Claim: Jan 20

$ZAMA is the utility token of the Zama Protocol, a confidentiality layer for existing L1s/L2s:

◼️ Pay encryption & decryption fees
◼️ Stake or delegate to operators
◼️ Help secure FHE coprocessors & KMS nodes

Mainnet is expected to launch by year-end, with $ZAMA fully functional before the auction.

@AkiyoshiKitaoka @AkiyoshiKitaoka Be grateful you don't understand French because these sentences are very suggestive and disturbing. Typical Duchamp 🙈🙈🙈

Reth v1.1.3 is out -- smol updates, but most importantly breaking changes in the library API, setting us up for Reth as a type-abstracted SDK for building nodes...similar to Cosmos SDK and Substrate, but for the Rollup-centric roadmap.

so far you've been able to overload payload building, txpool, rpcs, the runtime w/ evm or other state transition functions, soon you'll be able to define custom transaction & block types, setting up for innovation and unprecedented customization for both research and product differentiation

stay tuned!

Today, we are introducing our most exciting product to date: the #fhEVM coprocessor. It enables confidential smart contracts on #Ethereum, @base and other EVM chains, without changing the underlying protocol. Let’s dive into what this means for the future of privacy onchain. 🧵/1

3. Learn Grammar from the "Bescherelle du chinois", can't recommend this highly enough
4. Go multiple months in full immersion in a Chinese family
5. Be patient, it takes years
