In every ecosystem, there’s a moment when the early days end. New opportunities appear, but we can’t help looking back at that time with nostalgia.

Season 5 is that moment for the Zama Creator Program.

Over the past five months, the Creator Program has grown from a small experiment into a flagship movement. Thanks to the Creator community, conversations around privacy have become increasingly mainstream.

FHE is no longer a niche concept. It’s now one of the key talking points in the blockchain space, on social media, at events, and inside almost every builder community we meet. Creators helped the world understand that FHE is the next primitive of blockchain.

And those who were here before others, who believed early and contributed consistently, earned something more than rewards: they became OGs.

Season 5 is the last chance to join that founding cycle. After this, the Zama OG chapter closes.

What the Creator Program has become

We launched the Creator Program in July 2025 with a simple idea: find the people who see the future early, and build narratives together.

What happened next went beyond our expectations. With the support, creativity, and persistence of the community, the program became one of the largest creator ecosystems in the privacy space of blockchain.

Here are some numbers:

• 281M+ total impressions
• 34,000+ posts contributed to the leaderboard‍
• 2,500+ Zama OG NFTs granted‍

Beyond the scale, we’ve seen the global narrative being shaped by creators from all around the world. Content about FHE is now created and shared in English, French, Vietnamese, Turkish, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and many more languages.

Last call to be a true Zama OG

Season 5: The Final Cohort

Based on the community feedback, we’ve partnered with the experienced team at Cookie3 to create a fair leaderboard for all creators, also giving them access to a real time leaderboard of the top 1,500 creators. (Note that only the top 1,000 are rewarded).
