#BREAKING:
Zama — the encryption/cryptography firm — recently raised funding and is actively developing a “confidential blockchain protocol” based on Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
According to Zama’s protocol documentation, their roadmap lists a public testnet (as of mid‑2025) and aims to launch on Ethereum mainnet by Q4 2025; with plans to support other EVM chains in H1 2026.
Previously (2024), there were statements indicating the Shiba Inu ecosystem was “working with Zama” to build an additional privacy‑focused layer on top of Shibarium, using FHE.
So yes — there is credible groundwork: Zama exists, FHE‑based blockchain privacy via Zama is under development, and public testnet for Zama’s protocol is live (or scheduled). Also, Shiba Inu devs have publicly discussed a “privacy layer / network” on top of Shibarium in collaboration with Zama.
