Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
The Zama confidential blockchain protocol brings fully homomorphic encryption to smart contract execution, letting contracts compute over encrypted state without any node learning the plaintext. Encrypted types and operators are exposed to contract code, while a threshold key-management network controls decryption so results are released only to parties entitled to see them.
