Blockchain is always praised for its transparency but in reality exposes too much sensitive data. I find @zama's approach with FHE quite different as they integrate security right at the execution layer instead of patching it at the application layer.

FHE-native smart contracts allow for Solidity programming as usual, but all important variables are encrypted end-to-end. Nodes or validators cannot see balances, identities, or trading strategies, yet the contracts still run smoothly. This opens up a completely new layer of applications for stablecoins, RWA, institutional DeFi, sealed-bid markets, or fintech and healthcare applications that require true privacy.

If blockchain is the internet of value, FHE is like the moment SSL appeared and changed how the whole world operates on the web. I believe this direction will shape the next generation of onchain apps, especially as AI agents increasingly require secure data processing space.

Do you think FHE will become the default standard for Web3 or will it still be the playground of pioneering projects like Zama?
