What is Zama crypto?

Zama is an open-source cryptography company building the Zama Confidential Blockchain Protocol, which brings Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to public blockchains. The protocol's FHEVM lets developers write confidential smart contracts in standard Solidity. The architecture spans host contracts, FHE coprocessors, a Gateway, and a decentralized KMS. FHE encryption is composable and quantum-resistant. ZAMA is the protocol's ERC-20 token on Ethereum, with the token generation event on February 2, 2026. Target use cases include confidential DeFi, RWA, and AI applications.

Is Zama a privacy coin?

DropsTab classifies Zama under Privacy Coin, alongside Infrastructure and Cross-Chain Communication. Zama's model encrypts smart-contract state and computation through FHE rather than providing transaction-mixing anonymity. The confidentiality focus carries a regulatory dimension: FHE-based privacy technology may attract scrutiny in jurisdictions hostile to privacy tools.

What is the ZAMA token used for?

The ZAMA token pays encryption and decryption fees on the Zama Confidential Blockchain Protocol. Fees paid in ZAMA are burned, while network rewards are minted on a yearly emission schedule. ZAMA also served as a stakeable asset in launch campaigns — the Bybit and Bitget Launchpool accepted ZAMA stakes in February 2026.

How many ZAMA tokens exist, and is the total supply capped?

ZAMA has a fixed total supply of 11,000,000,000 tokens. No hard maximum exists — burned encryption fees are offset by yearly reward emission, so the token is inflationary by design. As of September 2026, roughly 2.49 billion ZAMA (about 22.7%) circulated, with about 77% of supply still locked. Allocation: 20% team, 20% VCs, 20% treasury, 12% public sale, 10% angels, 10% growth, 6% TGE campaigns, 2% liquidity.

What does Zama's vesting schedule mean for ZAMA investors?

Auction and Binance Wallet Sale tokens unlocked 100% at TGE on February 2, 2026 — a departure from typical sale cliffs. Team tokens vest over roughly 4 years with a 1-year cliff; VC and angel allocations vest linearly from around month 12. Per DropsTab data, ZAMA unlocks at roughly 4.06M tokens daily (0.04% of supply) across two rounds as of September 2026. With about 77% of supply locked, scheduled unlocks create material sell pressure. Zama's TokenOps acquisition keeps vesting schedules partially off-chain, limiting third-party auditability.

Who backed Zama and how much did Zama raise?

DropsTab fundraising data shows Zama raised $130M in venture funding. Series A closed in March 2024 at $73M, co-led by Multicoin Capital and Protocol Labs. Series B closed in June 2025 at $57M, valuing Zama at $1B, co-led by Pantera Capital and Blockchange Ventures. Angels include Anatoly Yakovenko, Juan Benet, and Gavin Wood. Tier-1 crypto funds across two rounds signal institutional conviction in FHE as infrastructure; VC and angel allocations together control 30% of ZAMA supply.

How did the Zama Dutch auction work and at what price did ZAMA sell?

Zama's public sale ran as a sealed-bid Dutch auction on Ethereum from January 21 to 24, 2026. Bids were FHE-encrypted — the project used its own protocol to keep bid amounts private. The auction sold 880,000,000 ZAMA at $0.05, raising $44M, and was oversubscribed. A Binance Wallet Sale followed on January 29, 2026, selling 220,000,000 ZAMA (2% of supply) at the same $0.05 price for $11M.

What launch campaigns did Zama run for ZAMA participants?

Zama ran three launch campaigns, all ended. The Bybit and Bitget Launchpool distributed a share of 12,000,000 ZAMA on Bybit to users staking ZAMA, MNT, and BTC from February 2 to 8, 2026. KuCoin's GemPool allocated 3,000,000 ZAMA starting February 2, 2026. A public-testnet and creator-program waitlist closed July 1, 2025, ahead of a Guild-based Developer & Creator Program quest. No active earning campaigns are running.
