Day 2 at #EthCC9 - here is what the Zama team was up to.
3 stages, 4 workshops. The focus is clear: confidentiality and compliance on public blockchains are the missing layer for real world and institutional-grade onchain finance.
Scaling onchain finance for real money.
Rand Hindi (CEO at Zama) joined The Big Whale to discuss the public vs. private chain debate. The conclusion: institutions want encrypted money where the liquidity is, and that is on public chains.
Privacy that regulators can say yes to.
Ghazi Ben Amor (SVP at Zama) spoke at the RWA Summit on privacy, security, and compliance. What Zama builds with FHE isn't just privacy features — it's systems regulators can actually work with.
Beyond Blind Signing.
Arik Galansky (CPO at Zama) joined WalletConnect's panel on why transaction clarity and safety matter, especially as we add new layers like encryption.
Zama Builder Villa Ecosystem builders presented some projects built on FHE.
- Matteo Manzi (Orion Finance): confidential vault strategies
- OpenZeppelin: confidential Solidity + ERC-7984
- Fabio Mancini (TokenOps): confidential token management
- Thomas Belloc (zKorp): Onyx, encrypted payroll & financial flows
The future of confidential blockchain using FHE is real and bright.
Tomorrow at the Zama Builder Villa:
- RWA tokenization with T-REX Network: institutional-grade confidentiality infrastructure for real world assets.
- Compliance with Deloitte: bridging FHE with institutional-grade regulatory frameworks.
And some more presentations around agentic confidential payments using FHE.
Stay tuned, and encrypt the money. 💰🔐

Day 3 at #EthCC9 for the Zama team.
RWA tokenization, compliance, and agentic payments — all with confidentiality guaranteed by default using FHE.
Today's panel at the Zama Builder Villa brought together Daniel Coheur (Apex Group Ltd), Joachim Lebrun (T-REX Network), Serena Leung (Polygon Labs), and Jonathan Alexander (OpenZeppelin) to discuss what financial markets actually need from onchain infrastructure: purpose-built infrastructure with compliance, confidentiality, and interoperability.
The confidential RWA topic continued with a technical deep dive by Joachim Lebrun (CTO at T-REX Network) — a live demo of compliant, confidential RWA infrastructure powered by FHE, and what frictionless UX looks like when privacy is built in at the protocol level.
For institutions to adopt onchain infrastructure at scale, regulatory compliance is a necessity. Industry leaders joined the roundtable with Zama and Deloitte at the Zama Builder Villa to explore how to meet institutional-grade regulatory frameworks with FHE implementations: auditability without compromising privacy.
Rand Hindi (CEO at Zama) joined a podcast to talk about confidential computing and what FHE unlocks. Jeremy Bradley-Silverio Donato(COO at Zama) also sat down with a podcast to discuss Zama's vision and the future of onchain finance. Both live soon.
Zama builders closed the day with a workshop on agentic confidential payments — use cases, FHE implementations, and a glimpse of what the next generation of payment infrastructure for consumer apps looks like: autonomous agents transacting onchain, privacy by design.
Spoiler: join Zama and Ledger for "Agents Anonymous Paris" during Paris Blockchain Week on April 14th. Registrations open: https://luma.com/v0bj508l
Tomorrow at the Zama Builder Villa: confidential stablecoins, the future of onchain payments with Monerium, and builder demos featuring Zentity — rethinking identity verification from the ground up, proving compliance without storing the sensitive data that makes breaches so costly.

4 days at EthCC[9] in Cannes.
The Zama Builder Villa was packed with high-signal conversations. Builders, partners, and the Zama team going deep on the future of onchain finance, RWA, DeFi, stablecoins, compliance, and of course… agentic payments.
One question kept surfacing: how does confidentiality actually work at scale for the wave of institutional adoption we are seeing?
The answer is clear: it has to be where the liquidity, network effects, and composability already are. On public, permissionless blockchains.
With the Zama Protocol live on mainnet, that's now possible. Companies get the compliance they require. Regulators get the auditability they need. Capital gets the confidentiality it needs. No tradeoffs.
The proof is already here: Zama is now the Confidentiality Layer for the T-REX Network, with Apex Group Ltd, servicing $3.5 trillion in assets globally, committing to place $100 billion in tokenized assets on it by June 2027.

A growing ecosystem is already building on the Zama Protocol: Raycash, TokenOps, Orion Finance and more in stealth.
It's happening.

RWA tokenization has been "about to happen" for years. Last month, Apex Group committed to $100 billion in tokenized assets on T-REX by June 2027. So what actually changed?
We brought together Daniel Coheur (Apex Group Ltd), Joachim Lebrun (T-REX Network), Serena Leung (Polygon Labs), and Jonathan Alexander (OpenZeppelin) to find out.
Past pilots stalled for the same reason: institutions couldn't transact on public chains without exposing strategy, pricing, or investor data, while ensuring compliance. That's the gap, and it's finally being closed.
Together, Polygon, T-REX, and Zama give institutions the confidentiality and compliance layer they were missing.

Zama CEO Rand Hindi just broke down why Zama acquired TokenOps, a full-stack token distribution and vesting platform with $2B+ distributed to date.
Three reasons this is bigger than it looks:
→ It solves a real problem no transparent solution can address
→ It brings 2-4 years of sticky Total Value Shielded (TVS) per user into the Zama Protocol
→ It generates real revenue for the Zama Protocol. Every distribution, every claim, every confidential swap generates onchain fees, and all of these fees accrue directly to the protocol and are used to buy back and burn $ZAMA
