Zama is coming together with @Web3Bridge for a hands-on workshop on confidential onchain finance.
Public blockchains have made financial activity more open and verifiable, but they also expose information that should not always be public.
This workshop will explore how @zama is bringing confidentiality to onchain applications with FHE, and how builders can start creating applications where sensitive financial data stays encrypted while the blockchain remains verifiable.
We’ll cover the ideas behind confidential finance, look at how the Zama Protocol works, and move into a practical builder session.
📍 Web3Bridge, Nigeria
📅 6th November 2026
⏰ 10am - 1pm
Registration details: luma.com/rxse8qq7

Most institutions won't move serious capital onchain if every position is public.
Zama's Q3 report covers how that's getting solved, from confidential vaults to confidential swaps.
Andy and I are covering it Monday with a stacked lineup.

I've been a happy @zerion user for many years and it just got even better 🙌
Confidential tokens now show up alongside public holdings. No separate app, no new wallet, balances encrypted onchain.
Confidential tokens are now live in @zerion Wallet.
Zerion users can manage confidential assets alongside their public holdings directly in the app, with confidential balances encrypted onchain.

What do you think is going to happen once Zama makes confidential tokens ubiquitous and supported everywhere, every wallet, every chain?
Let me tell you...
This is where mass adoption starts, as it becomes so easy to do what you're already doing, but with confidential balances and amounts.
As it should be...
You wouldn't be comfortable buying something on a website not encrypted with HTTPS. It'll be the same.
HTTP -> HTTPS
USDC -> cUSDC
USDT -> cUSDT
Onward.

One of the strongest theses for ZAMA, and people will realize it soon enough…
AI is putting an end to blockchain pseudonymity. Shield your balances and use confidential tokens at app.zama.org.
Today you’re early… One day you’ll blink and realize Zama is the HTTPS moment for public blockchains.
