The Decentralized Key Generation (DKG) ceremony for the Zama Mainnet has completed successfully. Between 19:06 UTC on November 25, 2025 and 01:46 UTC on November 28, 2025, 13 independent parties jointly carried out one of the most advanced cryptographic protocols ever deployed in production. All parties completed the protocol successfully, with no crashes, dropouts, or invalid messages. Full post: zama.org/post/decentralized-… A special thank you to the amazing companies running the Zama MPC protocol 💛 @conduitxyz @dfnsHQ @etherscan @Figment_io @FireblocksHQ @InfStones @LayerZero_Core @Ledger @0xmakase_jp @OpenZeppelin @StakeCapital @unit_410 Zama Mainnet Loading █████████ 99.9%
It’s been decades for some of our researchers; as a team, it’s been five years. Today, we can say we’re about to bring FHE to production. Zama Mainnet Loading █████████ 99%

Announcing the Zama Public Auction. We’re selling 10% of the $ZAMA supply via a sealed-bid Dutch auction on Ethereum, using the Zama Protocol itself to keep bids confidential with FHE. Why this matters: ◼️ Fair distribution & real price discovery ◼️ No bot sniping or gas wars ◼️ Tokens are unlocked immediately 🗓️ Auction: Jan 12–15 🗓️ Claim: Jan 20 $ZAMA is the utility token of the Zama Protocol, a confidentiality layer for existing L1s/L2s: ◼️ Pay encryption & decryption fees ◼️ Stake or delegate to operators ◼️ Help secure FHE coprocessors & KMS nodes Mainnet is expected to launch by year-end, with $ZAMA fully functional before the auction. Get notified at launch: auction.zama.org

Reth v1.1.3 is out -- smol updates, but most importantly breaking changes in the library API, setting us up for Reth as a type-abstracted SDK for building nodes...similar to Cosmos SDK and Substrate, but for the Rollup-centric roadmap. so far you've been able to overload payload building, txpool, rpcs, the runtime w/ evm or other state transition functions, soon you'll be able to define custom transaction & block types, setting up for innovation and unprecedented customization for both research and product differentiation stay tuned!

Today, we are introducing our most exciting product to date: the #fhEVM coprocessor. It enables confidential smart contracts on #Ethereum, @base and other EVM chains, without changing the underlying protocol. Let’s dive into what this means for the future of privacy onchain. 🧵/1

「分久必合,合久必分」 "What is divided for a long time must unite, what is united for a long time must separate." The first words of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In other words: "What was long decentralized must centralize, what was long centralized must decentralize".
