$ZAMA Lists on Revolut, Bringing Blockchain Privacy to Mainstream Users Across the EEA

Author: ChainWire·

Key Takeaways

  • Zama has listed its $ZAMA token on the main Revolut app, making it available to over 70 million customers across the European Economic Area starting in August 2026.
  • Zama's technology leverages Fully Homomorphic Encryption to perform computations on encrypted data, enabling smart contracts to execute on hidden inputs without decrypting them.
  • Revolut users in the EEA can trade $ZAMA with fees starting from zero percent and withdraw tokens to their own self-custody wallets, a feature unique among banking apps in the region.
  • The listing differentiates Zama from earlier privacy projects by emphasizing compliance and auditability under the MiCA framework, at a time when several major exchanges have delisted privacy-focused tokens in Europe.
  • Zama and Revolut plan to launch a Learn & Earn campaign later in 2026 to educate a mainstream, non-specialist audience about the importance of confidential onchain finance.
$ZAMA Lists on Revolut, Bringing Blockchain Privacy to Mainstream Users Across the EEA

Paris, France, August 11th, 2026 — Zama, a confidentiality protocol for onchain finance, has listed its native token $ZAMA on the main Revolut app across the European Economic Area (EEA). The listing puts a leading privacy project in front of millions of mainstream users on Europe's largest fintech platform.

The listing opens access to $ZAMA for Revolut's more than 70 million customers, including over 15 million people already trading crypto on the platform across the EEA.

Closing the Onchain Privacy Gap

Privacy is something people take for granted across the rest of their financial lives, but not onchain. Because public blockchains are transparent by design, balances, transactions, and positions are exposed by default. Zama exists to close that gap. Using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), it brings confidentiality to the assets and public blockchains people already use, such as Ethereum, without requiring a separate privacy chain and without sacrificing compliance or auditability. Zama has been described as the HTTPS moment for blockchain — the point where privacy stops being optional and becomes the default.

FHE is a cryptographic technique that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without ever decrypting it, meaning smart contracts can execute on hidden inputs. Unlike privacy coins that obscure transaction trails after the fact, or zero-knowledge systems that prove validity without revealing underlying data, FHE keeps data encrypted throughout the entire computation. The concept was theorized for decades but was considered too computationally expensive for practical use; recent advances have brought it to the point of real-world deployment on public blockchains.

The listing also stands out against a broader regulatory backdrop in which several major exchanges have delisted privacy-focused tokens across European jurisdictions in recent years. Zama's emphasis on compliance and auditability positions it differently from earlier privacy projects that drew regulatory scrutiny, and the EEA's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework provides a more defined regulatory environment for token listings across the bloc.

Listing $ZAMA on Revolut is part of a deliberate, long-term strategy to reach a broader audience. Confidential onchain finance only delivers on its promise at scale, and its value grows with the number of people who can access it. Meeting mainstream users where they already are — inside an app tens of millions of Europeans use every day — is how privacy moves from a niche concern to a default expectation, and how the case for it finally reaches beyond existing crypto circles.

"Privacy is something people expect everywhere else in their financial lives, but onchain they simply haven't been able to have it," said Dr. Rand Hindi, Co-founder and CEO of Zama. "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 Listing Means for Revolut Users

  • Simple access. Existing Revolut users can buy and hold $ZAMA in the app they already use — no new accounts, no extra KYC, and no separate custody arrangements.
  • Low fees. Trading fees start from 0% on the main Revolut app, with instant fiat funding from a user's Revolut balance.
  • Onchain withdrawals. As the only banking app in the EEA with onchain crypto transfers, Revolut lets users withdraw $ZAMA to their own self-custody wallet.

Learn & Earn: Making the Case for Privacy

Access is only the starting point. Later this year, Zama and Revolut will launch a dedicated Learn & Earn campaign designed to help users understand why privacy on the blockchain matters, and reward them for engaging with it. Rather than treating the listing as a one-off event, the campaign will educate a large, non-specialist audience on confidential onchain finance, building on a format Revolut has used to drive meaningful engagement and adoption for other networks.

Privacy, Now Practical

The listing follows a series of deployments that have moved Zama's technology out of the research stage and into production, spanning confidential lending, real-world asset tokenization, and institutional token operations. The signal is consistent: privacy on public blockchains is no longer a theory discussed in labs, but a practical capability now reaching everyday users through platforms they already trust.

$ZAMA is available to eligible Revolut users in the EEA from August 2026. For more information, visit zama.org or follow @Zama on X.
