Luganodes x Zama: Coprocessor for Encrypted Smart Contracts

Luganodes is proud to announce support for Zama, the pioneering cryptography company building Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) solutions for blockchain. At the center of this effort is the fhEVM, Zama’s groundbreaking protocol enabling confidential smart contracts on Ethereum.

Introduction

Homomorphic encryption has long been considered a breakthrough in cryptography, but practical adoption in blockchains has remained elusive — until now. Zama, a leader in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), has introduced fhEVM, a confidential smart contract platform that allows computation directly on encrypted data.

This unlocks an entirely new class of applications, where privacy and decentralization can coexist seamlessly.

About Zama and fhEVM

Zama is widely recognized as a global leader in FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) technology. Their fhEVM (Fully Homomorphic Encrypted Ethereum Virtual Machine) introduces a new paradigm where smart contracts can compute on encrypted data without ever decrypting it.

This innovation unlocks a broad range of applications, including:

• Privacy-preserving DeFi protocols where user data remains confidential

• Confidential identity and data management solutions across industries

• Secure multi-party collaborations in fields like healthcare, finance, and AI

The coprocessor plays a crucial role in this architecture, functioning as the execution layer for homomorphic computations. By running a coprocessor, Luganodes ensures the robustness, scalability, and reliability of fhEVM-powered applications.

Luganodes x Zama

Luganodes is proud to be among the few selected partners chosen to run a coprocessor for Zama.

Coprocessors form a vital component of the fhEVM network — acting as the execution layer for encrypted computations. When a smart contract requires operations on encrypted data, these requests are delegated to coprocessors, which process them without ever exposing the underlying information.

By running a coprocessor, Luganodes helps ensure these computations remain fast, secure, and verifiable, forming part of the backbone for confidential smart contracts.

Conclusion

By being one of the few selected operators running a coprocessor for Zama, Luganodes is helping establish the secure foundation required for encrypted Web3 applications to thrive. This collaboration reflects our broader mission to support cutting-edge protocols that will define the future of blockchain scalability, security, and privacy.
