Paris, France, August 11th, 2026 - Zama, a protocol positioning itself as the fastest growing confidentiality layer for onchain finance, has placed its native token $ZAMA on Revolut's primary app across the European Economic Area (EEA). The listing makes $ZAMA available to Revolut’s more than 70 million customers globally and specifically to the platform’s 15 million-plus crypto traders in the EEA.
The company frames the listing as a strategic step to bring onchain privacy to mainstream users. Zama’s technical approach relies on Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to enable confidential issuance, management, and trading of digital assets on existing public blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana. Unlike proposals that require a separate privacy chain, Zama’s architecture preserves confidentiality while maintaining the ability for compliance and auditability on public networks.
In public statements, Dr. Rand Hindi, Co-founder and CEO of Zama, underlined the project’s mission and the rationale for the Revolut listing. "Privacy is something people expect everywhere else in their financial lives, but onchain they simply haven’t been able to have it," he said. "We built Zama to change that, bringing confidentiality to the assets and networks people already use, rather than asking them to move to a separate chain. Listing $ZAMA on Revolut is a long-term investment in reaching people well beyond today’s crypto users, because privacy only becomes real when it is available to everyone. Privacy shouldn’t be a feature you go looking for. It should be the default."
What the Revolut listing provides to users
- Simple access: Existing Revolut customers can buy and hold $ZAMA within the app they already use, without opening new accounts, performing extra KYC, or arranging separate custody relationships.
- Low fees: Revolut’s main app offers trading fees starting from 0% with instant fiat funding from a user’s Revolut balance, according to the announcement.
- Onchain withdrawals: As the only banking app in the EEA reported to support onchain crypto transfers, Revolut allows eligible users to withdraw $ZAMA to their own self-custody wallets.
The company also said the listing will be paired with a dedicated Learn & Earn campaign, scheduled for later in the year. That campaign is intended to educate Revolut users about why privacy on the blockchain matters and to reward participation. Zama and Revolut described the campaign as an effort to make privacy comprehension and engagement available to a broad, non-specialist audience rather than treating the listing as a one-off trading event.
From research to production
Zama’s announcement links the Revolut listing to a run of deployments in which the protocol’s FHE-based capabilities have moved out of the research phase and into production. The company cited practical implementations spanning confidential lending, tokenization of real-world assets, and institutional token operations as evidence that privacy on public blockchains has become an operational capability rather than a theoretical construct confined to academic labs.
The firm frames the Revolut listing as a channel for increasing the number of users able to access confidential onchain finance, arguing that the value of privacy features accrues as adoption scales. The firm’s materials describe the listing as a long-term play to present privacy as an expected default for users operating on public blockchains.

$ZAMA is available to eligible Revolut users in the EEA from August 2026. For additional details, the announcement directs readers to zama.org and to Zama’s account on X.
