Zama is building the future of privacy in Web3 using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), the “holy grail” of cryptography
Their new Confidential Blockchain Protocol allows developers to build smart contracts that are fully encrypted end-to-end, all while remaining cross-chain compatible
💰 Zama raised $130M from Pantera, Multicoin, Anatoly Yakovenko (Solana), Protocol Labs and more 💰
🎁 They’ve confirmed a public testnet, and early users may be eligible for future rewards 🎁
How does it work ?
Testnet = 100% Free - Interact deeply with Shield and Transfers
Join the Guild quests to earn roles
Participate in the Creator Program
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Visit the Zama Portfolio demo app
Connect your EVM-compatible wallet (e.g., Metamask)

Step 2: Get Testnet Tokens
Go to the Faucet tab
Claim $USDZ tokens
Note: The faucet for Sepolia ETH (gas) might be empty, that’s okay. $USDZ is what matters for now

Step 3: Shield Your Assets
Navigate to the “Shield” section
Swap your $USDZ → $cUSDZ
Repeat the operation a few times to simulate real user activity

Step 4: Transfer Encrypted Assets
Head to the “Transfer” section
Send both $USDZ and Sepolia ETH to another address (like a burner wallet or a friend)
Repeat multiple times for deeper engagement

Step 5: Join the Zama Community
Join the Zama Guild and connect your wallet
Complete as many quests as you can to unlock exclusive roles in Discord
These roles may impact your eligibility for a future airdrop
