Private, Composable, Compliant: FHE for Ethereum & Confidential ERC20s

Blockchain transparency is a double-edged sword—while it ensures trust, it also exposes sensitive financial and user data. Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is revolutionizing on-chain privacy, enabling confidential transactions without sacrificing composability.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of how FHE empowers developers to build private, scalable, and compliant blockchain applications.

🎙️1st Talk: Building Confidential Smart Contracts with Zama’s fhEVM

Aurora Poppyseed, Developer Relations Engineer at Zama (IN-PERSON)

This hands-on workshop will guide developers through integrating FHE into Solidity smart contracts using Zama’s fhEVM. Learn to enable private transfers, confidential voting, decentralized identity, and more—without compromising the seamless interoperability of Ethereum.

Key insights that we will hear:

• Setting up the fhEVM development environment
• Writing confidential smart contracts in Solidity
• Encrypting, decrypting, and re-encrypting onchain data
• Security best practices for private transactions & confidential NFTs
• Deploying and interacting with confidential contracts on Sepolia

🎙️2nd Talk: Confidential ERC20s – The Future of Private, Compliant Transactions

Remi Gai, Founder at Inco (ONLINE)

Public blockchains struggle with privacy, limiting adoption by enterprises and institutions. This session explores how Inco and Circle Research have designed confidential ERC20 tokens using FHE, allowing traceable yet private transactions.

Key insights that we will hear:

• How confidential ERC20s enable privacy without breaking compliance
• FHE vs. zero-knowledge: Encryption vs. commitment-based solutions
• Why traceable privacy (not full anonymity) is key for institutional adoption
