zama is a blockchain infrastructure firm that specializes in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). It represents a cryptography breakthrough that enables computation to happen on encrypted data without any decryption.

To put it in very simple terms, Zama allows developers to create decentralized apps that are capable of working with sensitive information without losing privacy at any given moment.

Applications of this technology include the use in private DeFi operations, on-chain identity and voting, private gaming logic, and protecting enterprise blockchain applications. Zama enables smart contracts to perform logic, and user data is encrypted, which solves one of the largest issues of blockchain adoption: privacy without loss of decentralization.

Why Binance Picked ZAMA

Binance does not simply pick up the projects of Pre-TGE. The decisions depend on technical innovation, relevance, long-term ecosystem value, and strong development teams.

Zama stands out because:

  • It has been the first homomorphic encryption in Web3.

  • It deals with regulatory and enterprise privacy issues.

  • It supports confidential smart contracts, which is a significant barrier to institutional adoption.

  • It is consistent with the infrastructure-layer innovation of Binance.

Even before its official launch, Zama has surpassed $121 million in Total Value Shielded (TVS), showing how much potential it has. $Zama, being the 5th Pre-TGE project, is a shortlist of promising early-stage blockchain projects to launch on the Binance ecosystem. 

Tokenomics: How $ZAMA Is Structured

The $ZAMA token is the native token of the Zama Protocol. Holders use $$ZAMA or paying protocol fees and staking. There are 11 billiolon kens, but only 20% will be made available at the TGE in February.
