Deposit amounts, balances, and timing are visible to anyone by default. Confidential Vaults encrypt them, without changing the strategy your capital goes into.
Verifiable
Onchain settlement, fully auditable.
Encrypted
Positions encrypted at the token level.
Compliant
Fund admin, custodians, and regulators retain access by role.
Composable
Drops into your existing stack.
Institutions and platforms that need onchain yield without exposing positions, balances, or strategy.
Every vault combines proven lending infrastructure, an independent risk curator, and the Zama Confidential Protocol.

Morpho provides the institutional-grade lending rails and deep liquidity underlying this vault's strategy.

Steakhouse curates risk parameters, selects markets, and actively manages positioning for consistent performance.

The Zama Protocol enables institutions to operate onchain confidentially using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
Deposits work like any vault. Your position stays encrypted throughout.
Not a mixer. Funds are pooled into a single audited strategy per vault, and ownership is tracked through encrypted shares. Fund destination and ownership remain auditable at every step.
Encryption hides your position from the public. It doesn't hide it from you, or from anyone you choose to show.
To everyone else, your entries are ciphertext. To you, they decrypt into a complete record of every deposit, share, and redemption.


Audited contracts, screened wallets, and monitored flows for every vault.
Decrypt and share a provable view of your position with your auditor, board, or regulator whenever you need to.

A token whose amounts and balances are encrypted onchain using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), powered by the Zama Protocol. Each vault accepts the confidential version of its underlying asset. For example, the Steakhouse Confidential Prime USDC vault accepts cUSDC as the deposit asset.
Deposit the vault's confidential asset through the Zama App. Deposits are collected over 24h, summed as encrypted values, and only the batch total enters the underlying strategy. You receive encrypted vault shares sized to your deposit, and yield accrues on your position.
Yes, two ways. Confidentially: reclaim a pending deposit any time before its batch is dispatched, or request a withdrawal that settles in the next batch, roughly every 24 hours. Immediately: unshield your vault shares and redeem directly on the underlying vault, which reveals your amount at exit. No lockups, no exit penalties, and deposits are always recoverable if a batch fails.
Your deposit amount and share balance are encrypted for everyone except you. The public sees that your address joined a batch, the aggregate batch total, and overall vault solvency, never your individual amounts.
Confidentiality comes from batching: only the batch total is ever decrypted, so your amount is hidden among all depositors in the batch. The larger the batch, the stronger the protection, and a minimum batch age ensures batches accumulate depositors before dispatch. For the full model and its limits, read the engineering deep dive.
A mixer breaks the link between source and destination. A Confidential Vault keeps that link provable: funds are pooled into one named strategy per vault, ownership is tracked through encrypted shares, and fund flows stay auditable end to end. Only amounts are encrypted, never where the money goes or who owns it.
You can decrypt and share your position with anyone you choose: your auditor, your board, or a regulator. Vault solvency is provable onchain independently of you.
The Steakhouse Confidential Prime USDC vault was the first, accepting cUSDC as the deposit asset. Zama is improving its confidential DeFi design and adding more vaults, with more strategies and curators to come.
