Developer Program October 2025: Your Golden Ticket to DevConnect

Dear Solidity developers,

You are one commit away from Buenos Aires.

There are moments when building feels like magic. You write a few lines of code, and somehow, the code goes far beyond your screen. It becomes a demo, a product, a business, a community. 

Code has the power to take builders from repository to reality.

That’s what the Zama Developer Program is about. It’s not just a series of bounties or hackathons; it’s a journey from code to connection, from local commits to global impact. 

This season, your code becomes your Golden Ticket. 

The top builder of this season will win a full trip to DevConnect Argentina 2025, a chance to bring their project into real life and share it with the global FHE community.

It’s real

In just 3 seasons of the Developer Program, we’ve seen:

• 1331 total project submissions using FHEVM
• 433  high-quality projects built across DeFi, gaming, AI and more.
• 15 winners reached the leaderboard
• $45,000 rewarded

Every commit from this community proves that FHE is no longer theoretical, it’s practical, advancing, and becoming real right now.

Not only is the work real, the experience is too.

Developers are actively building, connecting and supporting each other to bring onchain confidentiality to life.

Meet us at The Zama World’s Fair

This November, Zama will gather FHE builders, researchers, and partners for The Zama World’s Fair, help alongside the Ethereum World’s Faire during DevConnect Buenos Aires. 

• Date: 17 November, 2025
• Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
• Registration: Learn more here

It will be a moment to witness Zama’s next important milestone for blockchain confidentiality, showcase community projects, and share the stage with partners who are building the future.

And for one developer, it won’t just be an invitation. 

It’ll be the destination, your code will be your Golden Ticket to join us there in person.
