Zama teams up with OpenZeppelin: Privacy Contracts v0.3.0 released, FHE officially becomes a standard library for developers OpenZeppelin just announced the joint release of Confidential Contracts v0.3.0 with Zama @zama. This marks a major milestone as FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) finally steps out of the lab and becomes part of the industry-standard security library for smart contracts. ■ The 'standardization' of privacy features OpenZeppelin’s status in the space is synonymous with 'security standards.' Their integration with Zama @zama means FHE privacy features are no longer niche tools but are now universal standard components, much like ERC-20. Developers can now easily add privacy attributes to contracts, like building with LEGO, without needing to dive into cryptography from scratch. ■ Key updates in v0.3.0 According to the official Changelog, this update is packed with powerful features: ✅ Core upgrade: Fully adapted to fhevm/solidity 0.9.1, with significant improvements in performance and compatibility ✅ RWA module: Introduced privacy extensions for RWAs, meaning future on-chain bonds or stocks can enable compliant transfers while protecting holder privacy ✅ Functional components: Added templates like Omnibus, Observer Access, Restricted, Freezable, covering the majority of privacy finance scenarios
