币界网报道:Zama, a Paris-based cryptography company specializing in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), has raised $73 million in a Series A funding round led by Multicoin Capital and Protocol Labs. The investment will accelerate the development of open-source FHE tools for blockchain and AI applications, enabling computations on encrypted data without decryption. Co-founded by Pascal Paillier and Rand Hindi, Zama aims to make FHE accessible to developers through libraries like Concrete for Python and Rust. The funding round also saw participation from Metaplanet, Blockchange Ventures, VSquared, and Stake Capital, among others. Zama's technology has potential use cases in confidential smart contracts, private machine learning, and secure cloud computing. The company plans to expand its team and further integrate FHE solutions with Web3 infrastructure. This funding positions Zama as a leader in the emerging FHE space, which is gaining traction for its privacy-preserving capabilities in decentralized systems.
