Zama launches 16 confidential DeFi revenue vaults aimed at expanding institutional access
Zama, a well-known decentralized finance (DeFi) privacy protocol, is further expanding access to next-generation DeFi revenue opportunities. According to reports, Zama will launch 16 exclusive select vaults, managed by five major curators, covering five major asset categories.
According to Zama's official announcement, this new measure is also synchronized with the official release of the Zama Swap agreement. This development builds on Zama's successful launch of the confidential version of the $USDC Prime vault with Steakhouse Financial and Morpho in June this year.
Provides comprehensive on-chain revenue for institutional investors
Zama said that the expansion aims to provide institutional configurators, active market participants and corporate treasuries with comprehensive on-chain revenue access without the need to publicly disclose user strategies or position information.
These 16 vaults have opened the deposit function to users through the Zama App on September 15. This release integrates Flowdesk's Armitage, Wintermute, Bitwise and RockawayX, and joins Steakhouse Financial as the curator in this unique vault network.
Specifically, the 16 vaults cover a diverse array of assets, including $USDC,$TGBP,$AUSD and $USDT, broadening the asset range of the new confidential DeFi strategy. In addition, the product portfolio includes 12 hybrid vaults and 4 brand new vaults. By mixing vaults, users can participate in selection strategies confidentially while retaining the strategies, risk profiles and liquidity of the core vault. Steakhouse's select Prime USDT vault is a prominent example in this regard. At the same time, four other vaults allow users to conduct confidential operations without any publicly available alternatives.
This expansion follows the launch of the confidential version of the Steakhouse USDC Prime vault in June. The vault grew from zero to a total lock-in value (TVL) of nearly $40 million in seven weeks, demonstrating the market's strong interest in privacy-focused DeFi products. On an open and transparent blockchain, entities 'wallet balances, strategies and positions may be tracked by competitors, which not only creates difficulties, but may also lead to the risk of being front-running.
Enabling private asset swaps to advance confidential DeFi
In view of this, Zama's privacy layer solves this problem, allowing users to leverage existing DeFi infrastructure without having to move funds to other chains or adopt unfamiliar strategies. Dr. Rand Hindi, CEO and co-founder of Zama, said during the discussion: "Today's expansion demonstrates the model's capabilities for large-scale applications. 16 vaults, 5 curators, and 5 types of assets, all built on the same DeFi infrastructure already used by mature capital."
Merlin Egalite, co-founder of Morpho, also said: "This will efficiently extend confidential DeFi and open up new possibilities for on-chain configurators without having to change strategies, liquidity or risk profiles."
According to Zama, the release of the Zama Swap protocol focuses on realizing the confidential exchange of assets. With this agreement, customers can exchange between different confidential assets, such as treasury share positions,$cTGBP,$cAUSD,$cUSDT and $cUSDC.
In addition, institutional clients are expected to gain greater flexibility in position management while limiting on-chain exposure of commercially sensitive data. Overall, the September release sets a model for expanding the confidential DeFi network, and is expected to include more curators, distribution entities, institutional custody services, and more asset classes by 2026 and 2027.
