Zama Staking FAQ
Zama is an open-source cryptography protocol enabling confidential smart contracts on public blockchains. It introduces programmable privacy using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), allowing applications to compute directly on encrypted data without revealing sensitive information on-chain.
Zama is not a Layer 1 blockchain. Instead, it functions as a modular confidentiality layer that integrates with existing chains such as Ethereum and Layer 2 networks.
Zama uses a role-based staking model.
Participants stake ZAMA to support different infrastructure roles, including:
- FHE Coprocessors — perform confidential computation
- MPC Nodes — operate the distributed Key Management Service responsible for decryption
Rewards are distributed via inflationary emissions, with an initial inflation rate of 5%, adjustable through governance.
Within each role, rewards are distributed using a square-root-weighted stake model, designed to:
- Reduce excessive concentration
- Promote decentralization
- Encourage broader participation
Staking rewards are paid in ZAMA and funded through protocol emissions.
Key characteristics:
- Initial inflation rate: 5% (governance adjustable)
- Rewards vary by role (FHE vs. MPC)
- Square-root stake weighting reduces dominance by large operators
Reward rates will depend on:
- Total network stake
- Role participation
- Governance-adjusted emission parameters
Yes. When initiating an unstake, Zama tokens enter a 7 Day cooldown period before they can be fully withdrawn and transferred. This lockup supports network stability and prevents rapid stake fluctuations.
Zama secures confidential infrastructure through cryptographic coordination. While specific slashing mechanics depend on role definitions and governance parameters, node operators are expected to maintain high availability and protocol compliance.
Delegating to experienced operators like Figment helps reduce operational risk through:
- Proven MPC infrastructure management
- Secure key handling procedures
- Continuous uptime monitoring
- Institutional-grade operational standards
