About Airdrop
Zama is a groundbreaking blockchain technology that focuses on providing confidentiality for smart contracts, enabling the execution of transactions without exposing sensitive data. It uses Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a highly advanced cryptographic technique that allows computations to be performed directly on encrypted data, ensuring end-to-end confidentiality. Zama’s protocol operates as a cross-chain confidentiality layer, meaning it integrates seamlessly with existing blockchain networks (both Layer 1 and Layer 2), enabling developers to add confidential capabilities to their decentralized applications (dApps) without the need for a separate blockchain.
The core challenge Zama addresses is the lack of privacy in public blockchains. While traditional blockchains offer transparency, they also expose all transaction details, making them unsuitable for highly sensitive applications such as finance and identity management. Zama’s confidentiality protocol allows users to verify transactions publicly, while still maintaining complete privacy for the data involved. This solution marks a significant step toward mass adoption of blockchain technology by ensuring confidentiality while maintaining trust and verifiability.
The Zama protocol offers end-to-end encryption, enabling programmable confidentiality in smart contracts. Developers have full control over who can decrypt data and can create complex, privacy-preserving applications. With FHE technology now being over 100 times faster than before, Zama makes it possible for developers to use common programming languages like Solidity and Python to build private and secure applications that are quantum-safe, ensuring protection even against future quantum threats.
Zama has officially launched its public testnet for its Confidential Blockchain protocol, offering users the chance to explore its features. The testnet allows participants to experience confidential smart contracts on top of existing blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, using the Zama protocol.
