Zama's gearing up for something interesting – a public auction that's anything but ordinary.

They're putting 10% of their $ZAMA tokens up for grabs through a sealed-bid Dutch auction. Here's the kicker: the whole thing runs on their homegrown Fully Homomorphic Encryption tech. What does that mean for you? Complete confidentiality during bidding. No bot armies gaming the system. Zero gas fee nightmares. And tokens unlock immediately after.

Mark your calendar:
Auction window opens January 12th, wraps up on the 15th.
Claim date? January 20th.

So what's $ZAMA actually for? It'll fuel Zama's confidentiality infrastructure – think encrypted operations across blockchain networks. Their FHE approach lets computation happen on encrypted data without ever exposing it. Privacy-first architecture that could reshape how sensitive transactions get handled on-chain.

The sealed-bid format means your strategy stays hidden until results drop. Dutch auction mechanics should help with fair price discovery too.
