Today, we are announcing our biggest partnership to date: Zama will be the official confidentiality protocol for the @trex_network, a leading RWA protocol with over $100b of tokenized assets already committed by Apex Group. I don't think people realize how massive RWAs are for blockchain. If you think stablecoins are huge, then RWAs are twice as big. This is THE big opportunity for blockchain to become the rails of global finance. The issue however is that portfolio managers can't make their positions and strategies public. If they did, every trader on the planet would front-run them, making them lose billions as a consequence. Just ask any VC or whale how they feel being called out on social media when they move assets to an exchange. And now imagine someone managing 1000x more money. To put it simply: without privacy, finance won't move onchain. The old way of solving this problem was to use private chains, at the cost of sacrificing public verifiability and composability. Private chains are like the Intranets of the 90s: closed, siloed systems that simply dont work well together. Public blockchains on the other hand is like the Internet: a global network of publicly accessible applications and services interacting together seamlessly through common standards. And just like HTTPS made financial transactions possible on the Internet, Zama is making financial transactions possible on public blockchains. The future of finance is onchain, and we will encrypt all of it with FHE.
