Most people hear the word "encryption" and their first reaction is protection, but very few think about "still counting under encryption." This sounds like a setting from a science fiction novel, but there are indeed people doing it now.

This is the magic of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE):
The data remains encapsulated throughout the process, and calculations can still be performed inside the black box, resulting in an outcome that is identical to that calculated in plaintext.
Simply put: it allows you to use it even without seeing the data.

@zama_fhe is a tough character in this direction, and they have done a few key things:

Develop open-source tool library (Concrete) to lower the entry threshold;

Forcefully transplanting concepts from academia into Web3 and AI contexts;

Build the ecosystem little by little and push this thing towards industrialization.

Imagine this:

Hospitals share medical records without worrying about privacy;

Smart contracts can execute logic without exposing inputs;

AI can train models, but has never seen the original data.

If zero-knowledge proofs are the foundational bricks of Web3, then FHE is likely the rebar of the future. What Zama is doing now is truly anchoring this "rebar" into the real world.
