Summary

The Zama Protocol utilizes Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to provide confidentiality for transactions on Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains. This allows for both public verifiability of data (required by validators) and the ability to encrypt transactions for enhanced privacy. The website highlights that blockchain transparency is a “bug,” not a feature, and emphasizes that Zama’s approach addresses the need for both privacy and verifiable state.
