This season of Zama (Season 3) has sparked quite a bit of controversy. First, many people raised doubts, and then the official team removed over 100 people citing bot-related reasons. But this season has been relatively clear-cut. Recently, I took another close look at the Zama protocol and the Season 4 Creator Program. Feels like @zama is no longer just a project hyping up privacy—it’s actually rewriting a serious and usable confidential infrastructure for public chains. Using technologies like FHE, Zama enables encrypted and verifiable operations on public chains for stablecoin payments, RWA settlements, market-making positions, institutional fund flows, identity, and governance. On-chain settlements remain transparent, but specific amounts, holdings, and identity details are no longer exposed. This is a space that ZK and traditional architectures haven’t fully addressed before. The approach for Season 4 of the Creator Program also seems noticeably more mature: accounts with less than 5k monthly views or ridiculously abnormal engagement rates are directly filtered out to remove fluff. At the same time, hard metrics are introduced—Top 100 accounts need to have a solid base audience, content must have genuine reach, and additional factors like retweet weight, account credibility, and interaction health are layered in. The core scoring logic focuses on “consistently producing impactful content.” The NFTs from removed slots are returned to this season, leaving 1,165 spots that can essentially be seen as the final admission tickets—perfect for those genuinely diving deep into confidential computing and Zama’s narrative. On the funding side, @zama has completed over $150 million in financing, reaching unicorn valuation. The funds are primarily being used to push the mainnet, refine development tools, and apply FHE to DeFi, DID, gaming, and traditional industry scenarios. If this path succeeds, it will firmly position Zama as the “next-gen security standard provider.” #ZamaCreatorProgram
