Welcomes OpenZeppelin as a Genesis Operator
Zama has officially announced its next genesis operator OpenZeppelin, a name synonymous with blockchain security and trust.
For over a decade, OpenZeppelin has set the industry standard for securing decentralized systems. Their open-source smart contract libraries are used across nearly every major blockchain project, safeguarding over $32 trillion in onchain value transferred to date.
Beyond their code, OpenZeppelin’s contributions to security research, auditing, and developer tooling have shaped the very foundations of Web3. They continue to empower builders and innovators by ensuring the reliability and integrity of onchain systems.
Now, as a Zama MPC operator, OpenZeppelin will play a critical role in securing the private Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) key a cornerstone of the Zama Protocol. This partnership enhances confidentiality, security, and verifiability across Zama’s ecosystem, ensuring privacy-preserving computation without compromising transparency.
Zama’s vision is to make encrypted computation a seamless part of blockchain infrastructure, and partnerships with trusted operators like OpenZeppelin bring that vision closer to reality.
