Zama

Zama is an open source cryptography company building state-of-the-art Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) solutions for blockchain and AI.

Zama was founded by Pascal Paillier, a pioneer in FHE, and Rand Hindi, a serial privacy entrepreneur.

Zama's team have in common:

• a passion for privacy
• a willingness to learn new things
• a deep expertise in the technologies they use
• intellectual integrity
• a willingness to always help their colleagues

Four years ago, we founded Zama as an open source cryptography company focused on FHE, the “holy grail of cryptography.” At that time, FHE was more theoretical math than practical code—it was too slow, too expensive, required too much cryptography expertise, and could only support a handful of real-world applications. In the years that followed—largely thanks to the relentless efforts of our team—we methodically tackled each of these problems, making FHE generally accessible to non-cryptography developers for the first time.
