$ZAMA Is Now Trading on Solana via Sunrise

$ZAMA is now live on Solana via Sunrise, so Solana users can trade it across the ecosystem, with liquidity wherever they already trade.

Today, we're expanding access to $ZAMA on Solana. Next, we want to bring FHE-powered confidentiality to Solana itself.

Welcome, Solana

Solana made onchain finance fast. Transactions settle in under a second, fees are fractions of a cent, and onchain markets now run at a scale that looked impossible a few years ago.

But like every other major blockchain, Solana is public. Every balance, every swap and every wallet's full history can be read by anyone, forever. On a chain this fast and this active, that openness has real costs:

• Your strategy is public. A trade can be seen, copied or front-run the moment it is sent.
• Your wallet is your identity. Once someone links an address to you, they can see your holdings and your history.
• Institutions stay away. Payroll, treasury management and B2B payments can't move onchain if competitors can read every transaction.

Transparency is what lets anyone verify a blockchain. But verifying transactions shouldn't require exposing everyone's financial information.

Zama's answer: Fully Homomorphic Encryption

Zama, the fastest growing confidentiality protocol for onchain finance, builds confidentiality infrastructure for blockchains using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). FHE is a type of cryptography that lets computers process data while it stays encrypted.

In practice, this means a smart contract can check that you have enough balance, execute a transfer and update an app's state without ever seeing the actual numbers. Only you, and whoever you choose to share with, can decrypt your data. The chain stays verifiable and composable, and your information stays confidential.

FHE was first proposed in 1978 and remained theoretical for more than 30 years. Craig Gentry published the first working construction in 2009, but it was far too slow to be useful. Zama was founded in 2020 by Rand Hindi and Pascal Paillier, one of the pioneers of FHE research, to make it practical. Today, Zama has one of the largest teams of FHE cryptographers in the world, and became the first FHE unicorn after its $57M Series B in 2025.

The HTTPS moment for blockchains

In the early days of the internet, most traffic was sent in plaintext. HTTPS changed that. Encryption became the default, and most people never had to think about it again.

The Zama Protocol aims to do the same for blockchains: confidentiality by default, built into the infrastructure, without users or developers having to change how they work.

Why Solana, and why now

Today's listing brings $ZAMA natively to the Solana community. It also signals where we're heading.

The Zama Protocol launched on Ethereum, and Solana has long been part of our roadmap. Bringing FHE-based confidentiality to Solana means that, in the future, Solana developers could build:

• Confidential tokens and payments: balances and transfer amounts that stay encrypted onchain
• Confidential trading: order flow that others can't front-run or copy
• Confidential DeFi: lending, treasury and payroll apps that institutions can actually use
• Onchain compliance: rules enforced without exposing user data

Solana brought speed to onchain finance. Zama wants to add confidentiality. And we're just getting started.

What is $ZAMA?

$ZAMA is the native utility token of the Zama Protocol:

• Staking: Network operators stake $ZAMA to secure the protocol and earn rewards.
• Fees: Protocol fees, such as those for decrypting data or verifying encrypted inputs, are paid in $ZAMA.

Through Sunrise, $ZAMA is available on Solana as a single canonical token that can be traded natively across the ecosystem.
