How do you run a token auction without mempool wars, last-second sniping, and everyone watching everyone else’s bids? Zama is trying a practical answer: a sealed-bid Dutch auction with a single clearing price, on Ethereum mainnet, with bid privacy enforced by Zama itself. Here’s

Imagine blockchain finally getting its own HTTPS. Not a new chain. Not another “revolutionary L1”. A privacy layer that makes confidentiality the default on top of what already works. That’s Zama. Zama adds privacy to public blockchains using FHE (fully homomorphic encryption):

5/5 The most interesting part is that this architecture looks forward. When new consensus mechanisms or execution environments appear, applications can adopt them without heavy migrations. It is not a one-off hack, but a platform designed for the evolution of the entire

4/5 All of this directly hits real pain points. Apps can upgrade their execution environment without changing the chain or rewriting code from scratch. And services running on Altius infra are easier to compose across different networks, even if their base consensus differs.

3/5 Sharding removes the classic bottleneck where chain choice is dictated by hardware limits rather than product logic. Plus, the Altius coordinator rewards devs for more efficient code, creating a healthy feedback loop for performance across the whole ecosystem.

2/5 This is not just “to make it faster.” This approach opens space for applications that simply wouldn’t take off on classic sequential execution models. On top of that you get a sharded state: data is spread across several shards that run on regular hardware without overkill.

I like that at Altius interoperability is driven by architecture, not marketing. Their stack starts with parallel execution: an instruction-level resolver breaks down dependencies between transactions and lets you scale parallelization to the needs of the network. X-@AltiusLabs

This is how verification works in Polymer: “(Receipt or event) → MMPT proof → source block root → IAVL proof → superRoot.” The Prove API simplifies this flow by returning a “two-level proof” a super-proof ready for developers to use. This allows developers to verify a

SERA-Crypto is a crypto research agent inside Sentient Chat (a decentralized Web3 chat-AI), built specifically for token research across the internet. The big thing here is that it’s built entirely on open-source models, no closed black boxes. The story is straightforward: back

In crypto, everyone argues about how to launch a token “fairly”. Fixed-price sales, listings, airdrops – we’ve seen all of it. Zama decided to take a harder but more mature route: a sealed Dutch auction with private bids. After looking at 100+ TGEs, they came to a simple

Blockchain is like the perfect fintech dream: instant settlement, 24/7 markets, a global settlement layer for everything. But there’s one catch- everyone can see everything. For a regular user that’s annoying but manageable. For institutions that want to move operations

If you want to get into FHE through real code, Zama has launched a December bounty. The goal is to build an example hub for FHEVM: separate Hardhat repos, each with one clear concept plus tests and docs. Deadline: December 31, prize pool: $10k. A chance to carve your name into

Imagine a bank statement where you can see who pays whom, but every amount is blacked out. That’s roughly how the kind of privacy Inco is aiming for works in crypto. This isn’t about “disappearing from the radar”, it’s a different take on private payments: addresses and the fact

If you’re a dev and thought the FHE train had already left the station, Zama is still holding the doors open. The Zama Developer Program has genuinely become an engine for FHEVM: over the past months, more devs and teams have joined, prototypes have turned into live apps, and

Zama Creator Program isn’t just about nice words and “building a narrative”. It actually values creators’ time and contribution in practice. Each season, the most active and impactful authors earn rewards in USDC for content that genuinely moves the conversation forward instead

Imagine a market where instead of betting on sports, people “bet” on which AI model will actually perform better. That’s Delphi by Gensyn. Delphi is a prediction market for machine intelligence. Here, LLMs compete against each other on live benchmarks, and you can buy a stake in

When you hear “privacy on blockchain”, you usually imagine pain, duct tape and a separate chain. Inco takes a different path, confidential computing as a normal dev routine, not a separate cult. Under the hood it’s four pieces working together: • smart contract library •

Imagine a creator program built around a niche FHE topic that somehow ends up pulling in 281M+ views. That’s the Zama Creator Program. It launched in July 2025 with a very simple idea: find people who see the future a bit earlier than others and build narratives together.

If you still think Zama is “early stage”, this is probably the last season when you can say that with a straight face. Season 5 of the Zama Creator Program feels like the moment when the pioneer era turns into something bigger. In just five months, the program has grown from a
