We’re all mapping opportunities for 2026, and one shift feels increasingly obvious: privacy is becoming a first-order requirement in crypto. Both retail and institutions are demanding it. That’s why @zama looks uniquely well-positioned. Blockchains are transparent by default, and that exposes users and institutions to value leakage, front-running and targeted attacks (eg. people being hunted on Hyperliquid). With the Zama Protocol, onchain activity can be encrypted by design using FHE. And ERC-7984 (confidential tokens) lets anyone issue, trade, and manage assets confidentially on any blockchain, enabling private balances, private transfers, and real confidential on/off-ramps.(Route 2 FI)
