If you could determine the content of the letter without opening the envelope.

Do you think it's possible? It sounds a bit incredible, but it can really be achieved.

This is what @zama_fhe is doing, applying the "mysterious and powerful" technology of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to the field of cryptography.

It allows computations to be carried out in a completely encrypted state, which is exactly what the current market needs.

Little Jinbao shares with everyone why WEB3 needs ZAMA's technology.

1. Sub-millisecond breakthrough: Let crypto computing run.

In October 2025, the ZAMA team announced a game-changing result:
They have reduced the delay of the core operation of FHE - "bootstrapping" to below 1 millisecond.

It is important to know that the same computation took tens of milliseconds or even several seconds a few years ago.
What does this mean?
👉 Previously, FHE could only be demonstrated in a lab, but now it can process transactions in real-time on the blockchain.

For example:
Suppose there is a crypto version of Uniswap.
When a user places an order to buy coins, the system needs to know the price and the reserve amount to calculate the result.
However, on traditional blockchains, this data is public and can easily be front-run by bots.
Now, if using ZAMA's FHE engine:

1⃣The reserves and trading volume are both encrypted;

The system can still calculate the correct results.

No one outside can see the specific data.

And all of this is completed in milliseconds.
This is the leap from "safe but too slow" to "safe and fast enough."

2. From Technology to Application: The True Starting Point of Privacy DeFi
ZAMA's breakthrough is not just a faster algorithm but has opened the door to a new class of applications.

In the past, privacy solutions on the blockchain (such as zero-knowledge proofs) were better at verifying whether computations were correct, but they could not truly "hide the data itself."
The advantage of FHE is that it allows the entire computation process to remain encrypted.

This brings new possibilities:

Privacy AMM (Automated Market Maker)
Reserve volume and price curves are fully encrypted, completely eliminating MEV and front-running.

Privacy Credit Score
Banks can calculate loan risks without exposing user income.

Compliance RWA (Real World Asset Tokenization)
KYC and identity information are encrypted to meet regulatory requirements while protecting privacy.

These scenarios were previously considered "impossible to achieve security, privacy, and performance simultaneously."
And now, ZAMA's microsecond-level FHE makes them a reality.

3. Why ZAMA is Different

The special thing about ZAMA is not that it proposes a new theory, but that it allows the theory to run on a public chain for the first time.
The performance it achieves is already close to "plain text computation," which means that deploying privacy smart contracts on mainstream chains like Ethereum and Solana has finally become a practical reality.

If zero-knowledge proofs make "verification trustworthy," then ZAMA's FHE makes "privacy itself" usable.

To summarize briefly, ZAMA is the first project to bring FHE technology into practical applications in WEB3. The value brought by this technological breakthrough is immense, so Xiao Jinbao is very optimistic about ZAMA. Let's keep a close eye on it together.
