How does Zama put a "quantum invisibility cloak" on the blockchain?Recently, both the BTC community and the Ethereum community have been paying a lot of attention to privacy. Zama, which is working on fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) technology, has launched its Testnet and the Mainnet is expected to follow soon. What changes will Zama bring to privacy in the encryption field? Let's briefly discuss below:
To make a simple analogy, Zama is like putting a "super invisibility cloak" on public chains like Ethereum, allowing users to transfer, borrow, trade, buy stocks, and participate in prediction markets on the chain... all data is encrypted, and no one can see it, not even the participating nodes. However, what needs to be computed can still be computed, and what needs to be verified can be publicly verified. It’s similar to bringing the WeChat Pay experience onto the chain, but with more privacy than WeChat Pay, as even WeChat cannot see your balance and transfer amounts. Vitalik no longer has to worry about people seeing how much ETH he transfers out each time.
Previous blockchains were unable to achieve privacy, the reason being
