A channel dedicated to Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)
An incredible week in Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 for FHE and @zama: vibrant energy, optimism, and developers excited about Zama’s tech.
We sponsored the Aleph de Verano hackathon, supporting Buenos Aires’ rise as a global crypto hub.
Highlight: Our fhEVM on Sepolia—Ethereum’s critical privacy layer, like SSL for HTTP—keeps sensitive data hidden on public blockchains. Key use cases include private currency, identity, voting, and more.
Without fhEVM: All transactions are public → Orwellian risks.
With fhEVM: Privacy by design → Modern financial expectations.
At the hackathon, teams built:
• A crypto invoicing app with hidden amounts.
• An on-chain voting system.
• A private auction procurement system.
Valuable feedback received to streamline onboarding.
Next step: Ethereum Mainnet in Q1 2025. Stay tuned!

Confidential ERC-20 Solution with FHE by @inco and Circle
A new whitepaper and open-source repository have been released, outlining a framework to convert ERC-20 tokens into confidential wrapped assets. This approach leverages fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to protect user privacy while ensuring regulatory compliance.

They have a demo of this now on Huggingface:
https://huggingface.co/spaces/zama-fhe/encrypted_dna
Concept is:
1. Data (e.g. DNA) is encrypted on the client side and sent to a server / service
2. Encrypted data is processed (e.g. DNA analysis, generation of health risk reports etc.) on the server and sent back to the client
3. Results are decrypted on the client side
Would love to see this applied on a commercial scale. The data leak at 23andMe underscores that this is important.
When using services on your sensitive data no longer requires direct access, it should also lower the barrier of entry for new companies in this space, since the trust barriers are lowered if you never hand over your unencrypted data anyway. So another benefit of this tech is that it could ultimately also lead to a more vibrant ecosystem of services that rely on processing personal data.

Interesting PoC for using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) for DNA analysis.
We saw with 23andMe that storing sensitive data is very risky. Hope this will mature and that there will be more of this. With FHE, services don’t necessarily have to see and store your unencrypted data in order to process them.

There are many things you can hide in a blockchain transaction: sender, receiver and amount.
- some project like @xmr can hide all of them
- some projects like Tornado mix senders and receivers
- some project like Stealth address protocol hide the receiver
- with FHE on the fhEVM, we can hide the AMOUNTs

Quadrillions of assets will be tokenized in the next 20 years, and confidentiality will be a requirement for a part of it. FHE has a role to play in this along with all other PET: ZKP, MPC and TEEs
