Done in seconds.
Just confidentiality added to the tokens you already use.

Since @zama went live on mainnet, we've committed to showing the community the numbers every quarter.
That's why we created Shielded. It tracks network health, confidential token adoption, and who is building on the confidentiality layer for onchain finance across our partner ecosystem.
Transparent reporting is the best way to run a protocol. It's also our chance as a team to look back at the quarter and see what worked.

Zama is coming together with @Web3Bridge for a hands-on workshop on confidential onchain finance.
Public blockchains have made financial activity more open and verifiable, but they also expose information that should not always be public.
This workshop will explore how @zama is bringing confidentiality to onchain applications with FHE, and how builders can start creating applications where sensitive financial data stays encrypted while the blockchain remains verifiable.
We’ll cover the ideas behind confidential finance, look at how the Zama Protocol works, and move into a practical builder session.
📍 Web3Bridge, Nigeria
📅 6th November 2026
⏰ 10am - 1pm

Most institutions won't move serious capital onchain if every position is public.
Zama's Q3 report covers how that's getting solved, from confidential vaults to confidential swaps.

I've been a happy @zerion user for many years and it just got even better 🙌
Confidential tokens now show up alongside public holdings. No separate app, no new wallet, balances encrypted onchain.
Confidential tokens are now live in @zerion Wallet.
Zerion users can manage confidential assets alongside their public holdings directly in the app, with confidential balances encrypted onchain.

What do you think is going to happen once Zama makes confidential tokens ubiquitous and supported everywhere, every wallet, every chain?
Let me tell you...
This is where mass adoption starts, as it becomes so easy to do what you're already doing, but with confidential balances and amounts.
As it should be...
You wouldn't be comfortable buying something on a website not encrypted with HTTPS. It'll be the same.
HTTP -> HTTPS
USDC -> cUSDC
USDT -> cUSDT
Onward.
