The Real Reason Institutions Need Onchain Privacy (Rand Hindi on The Roll Up Show)

Zama announced an expansion of its Confidential DeFi offering, adding 15 new vaults across confidential USDC, USDT, AUSD, tGBP, and WBTC, along with a confidential swap protocol initially supported by market maker Flowdesk. CEO Rand Hindi said the company’s first confidential vault, launched with Steakhouse and Morpho, reached $40 million in total value locked and helped demonstrate demand for private onchain yield products. The discussion argues that confidentiality is particularly important for institutions and active vault strategies because public transactions can expose balances, trading intentions, and proprietary investment rules to front-running or imitation. Zama envisions a future of programmable, composable vaults spanning tokenized equities, real-world assets, stablecoins, and crypto, with privacy supported by fully homomorphic encryption, wallet and custodian integrations, and programmable compliance features. Hindi described Zama’s business model as fee-based, with protocol revenue intended to fund liquidity growth and, over time, ZAMA token buybacks and burns, while emphasizing that the company aims to build deep confidential liquidity and broader adoption of encrypted onchain finance.
