Another amazing edition of the FHE.org conference, pushing forward research on FHE 💛

This community has done so much to advance FHE research! 💙

Great overview thread by @KyleSamani on why FHE / @zama_fhe will win as the tech for onchain confidentiality. The bottom line is that FHE is the only technology that offers security + verifiability + composability. It simply adds a layer of confidentiality to existing chains, without changing how we build and use blockchains.

JUST IN: Ahead of its next release, Zama is happy to announce the genesis operators of the Zama Protocol. The Zama Protocol uses Delegated Proof-of-Stake, with 18 operators running the protocol: initially 13 KMS nodes and 5 FHE Coprocessors (then more over time). In the Zama Protocol, the private FHE key is split and secured by a decentralized MPC network. Each Operator holds a share of the key, ensuring confidentiality without compromising verifiability. Today, we are happy to announce the first of our genesis operators: @Figment_io. Figment is the leading independent provider of staking infrastructure, securing over $17B in digital assets for 1,000+ institutional clients. Their commitment to the growth and long-term success of the digital asset ecosystem aligns perfectly with Zama's vision for confidential smart contracts. Learn more about Zama Genesis operators and the protocol architecture by reading the Zama Protocol litepaper: #operations-and-governance" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.zama.ai/protocol/zama-… 🔔 Every day, we will announce a new genesis operator. See you tomorrow.

🔐 OpenZeppelin Confidential Contracts v0.2.0 is here! Together with @zama, we're expanding our FHE-powered library with confidential vesting, governance & checkpointing. ⚠️ This is an experimental release — explore these new privacy primitives and share your feedback

tons of scientific data dies after publication because academics don't want to pay for public storage—seems like they don't realize that they don't have to so, forget @huggingface is the best deal in ML right now @huggingface is the best deal in science right now

Zama is partnering with @conduitxyz to scale confidential smart contracts. BUT, this isn't just about running part of our protocol on Conduit. It's also a strategic partnership. ⬇️

"This isn't some whitepaper fantasy—it's live on testnet right now. Confidential blockchain is here."

In February, I traveled to @infinitacity to pay a visit to @NiklasAnzinger and witness an emerging "Network State" IRL. I knew it would be hard to capture in words, so I brought a microphone and produced an audio essay covering who I met and what I learned in Roatán, Honduras.

There is NO official Zama token yet. Any "Zama token" being sold or promoted is a SCAM. Do not connect wallets or send funds. Only trust official @zama announcements.

This morning, @randhindi, CEO at Zama, did a keynote at @EthCC on the upcoming Zama Protocol. Testnet goes live tomorrow, July 1st 🫡 Are you all ready to build the future of onchain apps with built-in confidentiality?

We're experiencing downtime on the Zama Public testnet due to high traffic volumes 😮‍💨 Our team is on it and working to restore service in the next hour. Thanks for your patience!

How it felt launching the @zama testnet today

Tomorrow, July 1st, Zama Public Testnet goes live.
