Let me tell you a story about two French legends who met in 2015 and decided to solve the hardest problem in cryptography Today, they run the largest FHE research team on Earth This is @zama 🧵👇 #ZamaCreatorProgram

@santiroy_28 @zama Done bro

. @zama community sale purchase done! Bought 80K $ZAMA for $400 If you’re an OG holder, you can join the sale right now and grab your allocation too. So… did you complete your purchase yet or not? 👀

Let me break down what just happened with @zama. Mainnet went live. First confidential USDT transfer executed on Ethereum. No testnet hype. No "soon" tweets. No countdown posts. Just shipping. For the first time in blockchain history, a stablecoin transfer happened on Ethereum where the transfer amount stayed encrypted end-to-end. Not a zero-knowledge proof. Not a sidechain. Not a mixer. Not a privacy layer on top. Fully Homomorphic Encryption. Native on Ethereum. Mainnet. Production. This is the breakthrough everyone said was 10 years away. Why this matters for DeFi: Every transaction on Ethereum is public by default. Your positions, your trading strategy, your wallet balance—completely exposed to MEV bots, competitors, and anyone watching the mempool. Zama just proved you can execute value transfers on Ethereum with full confidentiality while maintaining full composability with existing protocols. Privacy isn't a nice-to-have feature anymore. It's foundational infrastructure that just went live. Team promised mainnet delivery in 2025. They delivered on December 2025. That's what execution looks like. What happens next: January 12-15, 2026: Public auction opens (10% of total $ZAMA supply available) January 20, 2026: Token Generation Event (TGE) + claiming begins Q1 2026: Ecosystem apps deploy (Zaiffer for confidential ERC-20 wrapping, TokenOps for private vesting/airdrops, Bron Wallet with native ERC-7984 support, Raycash for encrypted stablecoin banking, Deberrys for sealed-bid auctions, tGBP for confidential GBP stablecoin, and more) Mainnet just went live. The real deployment phase is starting now. This is what separates serious teams from noise. No hype threads for months leading up to launch. No countdowns. No "we're so close" updates every week. Just: "We shipped mainnet. Here's the first confidential transaction on Ethereum. Technical breakdown next week." Most teams talk about privacy as a future vision. Zama just made it production infrastructure. Privacy on-chain isn't coming anymore. It's executing transactions right now. Congratulations @zama #ZamaCreatorProgram

@lbtc200 @zama I m ready

I am buying as much as above $600M. Deploying more capital on @zama. You’re not bullish enough

@0x_josephh @xeetdotai Gm bro

Morning ct Update from my profile on xeet @xeetdotai . @0x_josephh (Sykoo. | ) is an active crypto content creator, graphics designer, and community manager with a bullish outlook on $ETH and $SEI. His feed serves as an engaging, real-time crypto journal, blending motivational personal updates with in-depth, accessible breakdowns of emerging Web3 ecosystems. - bootstrap adoption.Projects building on @LitecoinVM (DeFi protocols, RWA platforms, AI agents, or cultural apps like Ordinals/Runes) may distribute tokens to early LTC bridgers, stakers, or users. The upcoming TGE and testnet could include community drops, similar to other L2 launches. Ongoing campaigns ( current OmniQuest for $LITVM drops) reward participation, with potential for larger ecosystem-wide airdrops post-mainnet.

@kiaitwo @zama 2026 is going to start very well

Big congratulations to @zama. Zama’s Ethereum mainnet launch officially brings confidential smart contracts onchain using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). They’ve already demonstrated this with the first private transfer of cUSDT: -Transfer amounts stay encrypted -Balances remain hidden -Everything is still verifiable on-chain what is comming next -Zama OG NFT Claim Opens in 5 days (around January 4-5, 2026) -A public auction kicks off on January 12, 2026, to sell 10% of the total ZAMA token supply. Have a good last day of 2025. See you in 2026 for a real adoption of confidentiality.

@Alfathuss @zama This is huge

Zama has raised $130M so far. @zama closed a $73M Series A in 2024, then a $57M Series B in 2025 at a $1B valuation. Pantera Capital and Blockchange Ventures led the Series B, with earlier backing from Multicoin Capital, Protocol Labs, and angels like Anatoly Yakovenko. The public auction starts from an implied ~$55M valuation, far below the private rounds. That feels intentional, more about distribution and real usage than early pricing. On the product side, this is already live. Zama is on mainnet, with the first confidential stablecoin transfer (cUSDT) complete on Ethereum. Confidential Tokens, fhEVM, and production ready tooling are no longer concepts. Verification stays public. Financial data and logic don’t have to be. Quiet build, solid foundation.

@lbtc200 @zama @mztacat @NDIDI_GRAM GZama bro

What if the creator season has not ended on Zama..? @zama ended the season 5 of their creator program but what if they launched the season 6? We can see some very big influencooors like @mztacat or @NDIDI_GRAM in their top 25 voices on Cookie. But, i'm pretty sure they are doing something in the backstage for us #ZamaCreatorProgram

@kiaitwo @zama Amazing team

Here are 5 lesser-known facts about @zama, the cryptography powerhouse pushing onchain privacy with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) A truly global brain trust Zama’s team counts 96 people, including 37 PhDs from 26 nationalities,one of the most diverse and brainy crews in homomorphic encryption. Stress-free culture Unlike many high-pressure crypto startups, Zama puts strong emphasis on a convivial, no-burnout culture. Fair hiring, real work-life balance, and even personal fit as a hiring criterion,still rare in this space. Born from obscure math When Zama started in late 2019, FHE was so niche that only a handful of people worldwide knew how to implement it in practice. Zama turned what was mostly an academic curiosity into production-ready cryptographic infrastructure. Strategic scaling with Conduit In July 2025, @zama partnered with @conduitxyz to scale confidential smart contracts. By combining FHE with Conduit’s rollup stack, heavy encrypted computation can be handled efficiently, enabling low fees and smoother deployment across ecosystems like Ethereum-based rollups. Privacy-preserving payments (quiet but huge) More recently, @zama teamed up with @mindnetwork_xyz to launch x402z, the world’s first FHE-based payment solution. Transactions stay encrypted end-to-end and are processed without ever revealing sensitive data. more to come, stay tuned and don't forget to follow.

@0x_josephh @LitecoinVM @BTC_OS Gm bro Nice view

GM Fam New week same objectif . In addition it is this week that we enter the new year . Let’s take advantage of these last days to build good relationships and spread the good around us . @LitecoinVM & @BTC_OS who are in collaboration to adapt the BitcoinOS technology to Litecoin, allowing a trustless bridge to $zkLTC and verification of ZK proofs on the main Litecoin chain. BitcoinOS achieved a pioneering breakthrough in July 2024 by verifying the first ZK proof on the mainnet Bitcoin, an expertise now applied to Litecoin( $LTC ) to strengthen its programmable Web3 ecosystem without compromising its UTXO security. #Litecoin #LTC #LitVM

🚨🚨 Post number 05 for the #ZamaCreatorProgram season hidden 06 🚨🚨 Everyone knows that the @zama token is coming soon, and what better way to explain its usefulness than with a friendly reminder? All presented by your favourite mascot ! F_0xHE ! L E T S G O ! Today's lesson : What makes the $ZAMA token special? Why isn't this just another governance token? 1 ) THE CORE UTILITY: POWERING THE FHE ENGINE The $ZAMA utility token plays a central role in the protocol. It is used to pay for encryption and decryption, as well as reward operators and stakers for running and securing the network. Think of it this way: Every time you want privacy on-chain, you're using computational power. And computational power needs fuel. That fuel is $ZAMA. What you're paying for: - Verifying proofs - Decrypting results - Bridging encrypted assets - Processing encrypted transactions on-chain 2 ) THE ECONOMIC MODEL: BURN-AND-MINT Here's where $ZAMA becomes FUNDAMENTALLY different from typical tokens: All fees are burned, while rewards are minted following a yearly emission schedule. What does this mean? Every confidential transaction, every encrypted operation, every privacy-preserving computation = tokens BURNED 🔥 Meanwhile, network operators and stakers earn minted rewards for securing the protocol. This creates a dynamic supply model where network usage directly reduces supply while utility increases demand. The more people use Zama for privacy, the more deflationary pressure on $ZAMA! 3 ) STAKING: SECURING THE ENCRYPTED FUTURE Token holders will participate in protocol governance through on-chain voting for critical decisions, but that's just the beginning. Staking $ZAMA allows you to: - Become a network operator (coprocessor or KMS node) - Earn monthly compensation plus token rewards - Secure the FHE infrastructure - Access volume-based fee discounts (up to 99%!) Coprocessors and KMS nodes earn staking rewards proportional to their stake and performance, while facing slashing penalties for malicious activity or extended downtime Zama. This isn't passive staking ! You're actively securing the world's first production-scale FHE network ! 4 ) REAL UTILITY = REAL DEMAND Here's what separates $ZAMA from "just another token": - MANDATORY FOR PRIVACY : You want confidential DeFi ? You need $ZAMA. You want encrypted smart contracts? You need $ZAMA. You want private transactions? You need $ZAMA. There's no alternative ! Zama adds a layer of confidentiality to existing public blockchains using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to keep transaction data and onchain state encrypted while still allowing smart contracts to be executed. - CROSS-CHAIN UTILITY : Zama operates on top of existing chains, meaning any token or smart contract can be converted into a confidential version without bridging to a new network - ENTERPRISE-GRADE DEMAND Banks need confidentiality, not anonymity. Enterprises need to protect proprietary data, not hide their identity. We're not talking about niche privacy coins here. We're talking about institutional-grade privacy infrastructure that enables : - Confidential DeFi (hide trading strategies) - Private healthcare data processing - Encrypted identity verification - Sealed-bid auctions - Compliant RWA tokenization WHY THIS ISN'T "JUST ANOTHER TOKEN" ! Let me spell it out: Most tokens : - Optional governance rights - Speculative value - No mandatory usage - Limited real utility $ZAMA token: - REQUIRED for every encrypted operation - Deflationary burn mechanism - Revenue-generating staking - Cross-chain utility - Enterprise adoption incoming - Hardware acceleration coming - First-mover in production FHE THE TIMING: MAINNET = TOKEN ACTIVATION Mainnet is expected to launch S O O N, with the $ZAMA token minted and fully functional. This is a post-mainnet sale, meaning the token will have IMMEDIATE utility upon distribution. No waiting months or years for "when mainnet launches someday." IYKYK The protocol is LIVE. The utility is REAL. The demand starts DAY ONE. To finish this big pavelard : The $ZAMA token isn't just another governance token you hold and hope appreciates. It's the economic engine of the world's first production-scale FHE protocol. It's REQUIRED infrastructure for the encrypted internet. It's the gasoline for privacy-preserving computation across all major blockchains. If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? The answer ? FHE. And FHE runs on @zama ! This is why I'm excited. This is why you should be too. This is why we are here. This is why Privacy Matters ! F_0xHE . 🦊

@InvestingDams Congrats bro 2025 was huge for you

Became a Story ambassador Got a $15K Caldera airdrop 💴 I reached half a million Bought a House cash 🏠 Lost $40,000 in one month I have gold and silver 🏆 UP to 3600 followers My stock portfolio hit ATH I have the same wife 👩‍❤️‍👨 I lost my IRL business I am looking for a 2026 job 2025 was a pretty good year apart from the big loss, 2026 will be even better. ❤️

@zama Bullish

1) Access to a $ZAMA community sale at the public auction floor price. Each OG NFT gives the original claiming wallet the option to buy up to 40,000 $ZAMA at $0.005/token ($55m FDV). In total, this represents 2% of the total supply across 5,500 OG NFTs.

The Zama OG NFT rewards creators and developers who believed in Zama’s mission early. Thanks in part to your support, Zama went from moon-math curiosity to a top-trending protocol, putting privacy + FHE on the map forever. As a token of appreciation (no pun intended), OG NFT holders get two exclusive benefits:

So the OG NFT gives you: 40,000 $ZAMA at $0.005 ($200 for $55m FDV entry) + 5% bonus on public auction bids This is early believer equity reserved for creators and developers who showed up before mainnet.

🚨🚨 Post number 03 for the #ZamaCreatorProgram season hidden 06 🚨🚨 Today's lesson presented by our friend F_0xHE : How will FHE revolutionize KYC for exchanges? 🔐 I notice humans often hesitate to share their identity information and honestly, I totally get it! Privacy concerns, data breach risks, and platform distrust are real issues. That's where Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) comes to the rescue! Here's the magic: FHE allows compliance with regulatory requirements by transmitting identity data while keeping it completely confidential. With @zama, users could share their identity just once, and it gets encrypted instantly afterward. Imagine this world with me: You only disclose your identity a single time to a secure entity. Thanks to FHE and @zama, this entity can then provide verification data to any platform requiring KYC without ever exposing your actual information! Let me show you how it works: ⚡ You complete KYC on Platform A ⚡ Later, you want to trade on Platform B ⚡ Instead of resubmitting documents, you send an FHE compliance token that certifies (in encrypted form) your identity is already verified. #ZamaCreatorProgram #Zama #FHE #Privacy #OG #NFT #Web3

@Vi1metrtatet @zama Une équipe de légende

@0xAmne Gymonad

Gymonad # 92 Happy Sunday Still building

@RiMonOnX @zama Gm fam

Good morning zama fam That shift to Q1 2026 is becoming a bit of a masterclass in ecosystem management. By moving the @zama token launch away from the typical "December rush," the team is essentially signaling that they are building a decad long infrastructure, not just chasing a cycle. Since we are currently in December 2025, here is the breakdown of why this timing is so pivotal for the Zama ecosystem: The Road to January 12, 2026 The public auction is set for January 12–15, 2026. What makes this unique isn't just the date, but the technology behind it: * Confidential Dutch Auction: Zama is using its own FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) to run the auction. Bids are sealed and encrypted, meaning no one not even the team sees the prices until the auction concludes. This effectively kills front-running and "gas wars" that usually ruin public sales. * 10% Supply Allocation: This is a significant portion of the total supply intended for price discovery, ensuring the community has a real stake before the "bigger phases" you mentioned kick in. Why "Later is Better" for Builders The #ZamaCreatorProgram has already seen massive growth, but the Q1 launch provides a necessary buffer: * Mainnet Stabilization: With the mainnet deployment happening this month (December 2025), developers have about a month of "live" environment testing before the token economy goes into full gear. * EVM & Shibarium Integration: We know full EVM-wide compatibility is slated for early 2026, with the Shibarium native integration following in Q2 2026. This gives builders a clear "boarding window" to have their dApps ready for these massive liquidity pools. The Bigger Picture. You mentioned "bigger phases," and looking at the 2026 roadmap, those are likely: * H1 2026: Expanding cross-chain confidential assets to multiple EVM L2s. * H2 2026: Moving into the non-EVM world with Solana (SVM) support. It’s a rare sight in crypto to see a project actively choose a "smoother start" over a "fast start." Are you planning to participate in the January auction, or are you focused on the development side of the Creator Program right now?
