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.

Here’s a clear breakdown of @zama 's OG NFT distribution 👇
So far, 3,754 OG NFTs have been minted through the Zama Creators Program across five seasons:
➡️ Season 1: 250
➡️Season 2: 500
➡️Season 3: 834
➡️Season 4: 1,164
➡️Season 5: 1,006
— ✅ Total minted: 3,754
— 🎯 Total cap: 5,500
— ⏳ Remaining: 1,746 OG NFTs
What could the remaining 1,746 OG NFTs be used for?
– A future Season 6 of the Creators Program
– Possibly “hidden” season until the end of december
– Allocation to developers and early builders
– Rewards for Discord roles and other strong community members
– An intentional supply reduction
– A way to limit bot farming and keep ICO advantages in the hands of real contributors, not farmers
Why the OG nft distribution matters 👇
– OG NFTs unlock ICO bonuses
– Access at a very attractive price
The way Zama will distribute the remaining NFTs will say a lot about their long-term community strategy. I feel it is more like a deliberate strategy

@zama auction mechanics:
🔹 10% of the supply will be distributed via a sealed-bid Dutch auction on Ethereum, with bids kept confidential using FHE
🔹 Fair launch conditions: no bots, no gas wars, and immediate token unlock
🔹 OG NFT holders receive exclusive perks, including floor access and a 5% allocation bonus
Starting floor: ~$55M FDV at a $0.005 token price — still modest relative to existing privacy and infrastructure protocols.
As a benchmark, Aleo currently trades at roughly $220M–$260M FDV, operating as a ZK privacy Layer 1 with active, real-world adoption.
Although Zama is not running an airdrop, it is already aggregating demand through transparent and organic price discovery.
OG NFT valuation (1 NFT = up to 40k $ZAMA):
• If $ZAMA aligns with Aleo’s valuation (~$250M FDV), 40k tokens could translate into approximately 5–10x from the floor.
• If valuation expands toward $500M FDV, OG returns could reach 10–20x.
• At blue-chip privacy infrastructure ($1B+ FDV), early OG participants could potentially see 20–40x+.
In the end, $ZAMA’s TGE pricing will largely hinge on broader market sentiment and whether the FHE + privacy thesis gains strong momentum at launch

Why does @zama resist quantum attacks? Let’s have a simple look at Zama’s article
Today, RSA and ECC systems secure most of the internet. It is strong against classical computers, but not to quantum attacks, due to Shor’s algorithm, which can efficiently solve their mathematical problems.
👉 Zama takes a different approach.
Its FHE is built on lattices (mathematical lattices): which are grids of points in very high-dimensional spaces, mixed with noise.
Breaking the encryption means finding a specific point inside this noisy lattice, a problem considered extremely hard for classical and quantum computers.
⚠️ Key difference:
RSA/ECC rely on algebraic problems for which an efficient quantum algorithm exists
Lattices have no known Shor-like quantum algorithm
🔐 Result: Zama’s FHE systems (TFHE, Concrete) can compute on encrypted data while remaining post-quantum, with no add-on or patch required (like many other projects).
🚀 Quantum resistance is forged in the zama's foundations.
🔥 POLYMARKET NEVER LIES
According to the chart, @zama has a 100% chance of smashing a $4B FDV at TGE.
The rocket is already fueled, FHE season is loading 🚀
And this is just the beginning . Zama isn’t a niche tech, it’s the backbone of a new encrypted internet.
Private AI, protected data, trustless computation… it’s all going to run on FHE.
Zama will be everywhere, powering everything.

The @zama creator program ended earlier than expected . Honestly a good call. It helps limit bot activity and forced shilling (which felt like 99% of it) and lets the project move forward more calmly. Now let’s see how the team handles what’s next. We already know an ICO is coming, but will there be an airdrop? And what role will the NFTs earned during the campaign play? In the meantime, the testnets are still there to explore.
I personally really started farming this campaign with this tweet, a good memory 😄

🚧TESTNET UNDER MAINTENANCE🚧
Just a few pipes to sort out before things can kick off, that’s exactly what testnets are for.
Still feeling good about @zama revolution🚀
🚀 Zama just launched a public testnet!
If you want to try the future of on-chain privacy, it only takes 2 minutes on Sepolia 👇
1️⃣ If you need ETH sepolia for gaz, you can mint some here: https://t.co/9sYBoB1AJR
2️⃣ Then go to https://t.co/tiMvF2U9Je and claim your test EUROZ tokens
3️⃣ Hit Shield to encrypt them into cEUROZ🔐 . Your balance becomes 100% private, only you can see it
4️⃣ You can even send your cEUROZ to another wallet. The system will just ask for a quick decrypt so you can choose how much to transfer.
⚠️ If the testnet isn’t working or looks down, come back a bit later. It’s still early and things can be unstable.
🔥 And this is only a tiny usecase of what Zama’s FHE technology can do. The potential applications are massive.
👉 Go try it out and see for yourself!
Let���s talk about @solsticefi , a stablecoin protocol, with 325M$ tvl, on Solana that generates yield through delta-neutral strategies
https://t.co/vWkYRqC1sC
1️⃣STABLECOIN & PROTOCOL TOKENS
🔹USX: Yield-less stablecoin 💵
🔹eUSX: Staked USX that generates yield thanks to delta-neutral strategies. Its value increases over time. It can be used as a token across other protocols.
Redemption: 7 days (or 1 day if under $1k), or instant swap
🔹 SLX: Governance token 🗳️
2️⃣ POINTS SYSTEM
🔹Flares: Point system for the SLX airdrop. Tasks are listed on the website and here: https://t.co/H3zLyI04VR
🔹Keep at least 100 USX and 100 eUSX in your wallet to get a multiplier on all flares earned — after 1 month and 3 months
🔹Small tip: you can enter 2 partner codes to earn extra flares: RAYDIUM, ORCA
👉 Don’t forget to enter my referral: 86YpKT1wxC 🙏
3️⃣POSSIBLE STRATEGIES WITH USX & eUSX
🔹Trade YT/PT or provide liquidity on https://t.co/N9vkP0SIZB (similar to Pendle)
🔹Provide LP on @orca_so or @Raydium
🔹Lend on Kamino. You can deposit USX or eUSX, but only eUSX can be used as collateral

Just realized I unexpectedly got the @zama NFT for Season 4 😳
I had stopped posting after realizing Season 3 rewards were too tough, and even lost motivation due to the crypto market.
But this new reward system feels way more friendly for small accounts like mine.
This NFT might actually pull me back in.
Time to catch up on all the Zama news I’ve missed!

Share your post link in the comments — I’ll watch, comment, like, and follow everyone who does!
BIG NEWS🚀
@zama just announced it’s acquiring @KakarotZkEvm to combine two advanced technologies:
➤ Zero-Knowledge (ZK) for scalability
➤ Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) for privacy
⚙️ Background:
🔹 Kakarot, founded in 2022 and incubated by Starknet, raised $15M pre-seed in 2023 with investors including Vitalik Buterin.
🔹 It enables deployment of EVM smart contracts on CairoVM, effectively acting as a Layer 3 on Starknet.
🔹 This allows Ethereum to scale while keeping verifiable execution via ZK proofs.
🔹 Kakarot pioneered an approach later adopted by Risc Zero, advancing ZK + EVM integration.
🔹 It stayed at testnet stage to maintain Starknet’s coherence, as explained by @abdelstark.
🔹 In 2025, Kakarot released the most efficient client-side zkVM, generating real-time proofs even on low-power devices.
🔹 Zama’s role:
FHE allows computation directly on encrypted data, enabling privacy for blockchain, AI, and other applications.
🔒 From Scalability to Privacy:
🔸 Privacy is the new frontier: ZK systems (like @Zcash) or private blockchains have trade-offs.
🔸 FHE enables both confidentiality and composability on public chains.
🔸 In 2024, Zama introduced symbolic execution for FHE, allowing integration with any blockchain.
🔸 Works like a ZK coprocessor combined with an MPC network for decryption.
🔗 What the acquisition brings:
🔹 Fusion of ZK (Kakarot) + FHE (Zama).
🔹 Goal: build a decentralized, efficient, privacy-preserving internet of value.
🔹 For developers: more powerful, secure tools.
🔹 For users: faster, smoother, private on-chain experiences.
🔹 Planned deep integration with the upcoming Zama Protocol mainnet.
🔹 Future: private smart contracts, confidential transactions, privacy-by-design scalability.
With Zama acquiring Kakarot and adding FHE expertise, we enter a new era of combining ZK + FHE for truly private, scalable, and composable blockchain computation.

🌍 What if the next crypto revolution came… from Paris? 🇫🇷🥖
🇪🇺 Europe has long been accused of being too bureaucratic, too slow for crypto, and focused only on building regulations
🇺🇸 While the US built exchanges, blockchains, and hype cycles
And yet, beneath the surface, something else is brewing.
A mathematical, open-source revolution : @zama .
@zama is not just another crypto startup.
It’s a symbol of what happens when European research, privacy culture, and deep cryptography meet blockchain.
🇫🇷 It’s French, but not parochial.
🇪🇺 European, but globally ambitious.
And it’s proving that innovation doesn’t have to come from Silicon Valley to change the game.
🎓For decades, Europe’s strength has been intellectual rather than commercial.
From INRIA and CNRS to École Polytechnique and ENS, Europe cultivated generations of cryptographers who built the theoretical foundations others later monetized.
Now, with @zama , that academic excellence is turning into strategic technology.
A domain — Fully Homomorphic Encryption — where the US giants are not (yet) dominant.
This is more than a startup story.
It’s a geopolitical statement. 🌍
⚔️ While Washington and Beijing fight for AI supremacy, Europe is quietly building the privacy layer of the future internet.
Zama embodies that shift: sovereignty through math.
Not through borders or regulation — but through code.
🦄 In 2025, Zama became the world’s first FHE unicorn, backed by global funds but driven by a European ethos.
Its stack is open-source, privacy-first, and built on the idea that encryption should empower, not restrict.
That matters.
Because in a world where data is the new oil, FHE is the refinery that keeps ownership in the hands of users — not platforms.
If Europe is to have a say in the digital future, it won’t be by copying Silicon Valley.
It will be by doing what it does best: turning intellectual depth into technological sovereignty.
🌱Zama is a glimpse of that future —
a France-led, Europe-rooted, globally relevant experiment in rebuilding trust through cryptography.
A revolution that doesn’t shout.
It encrypts. 🔐
