Zama Opens Confidential Access to DeFi's Existing Yield Venues

Zama, a leading confidentiality protocol in onchain finance, has announced a significant expansion of confidential access to yield opportunities. In partnership with Morpho and five prominent DeFi curators, including Steakhouse Financial, Armitage by Wintermute, Flowdesk, RockawayX, and Bitwise, Zama has launched 16 confidential vaults across five asset classes.

These include USDC, USDT, WBTC, AUSD, and TGBP. The addition of four new asset classes further enhances the range of confidential vaults available to institutional allocators, corporate treasuries, and active market participants.

The launch of the Zama Swap Protocol allows users to confidentially swap between confidential assets on Ethereum, closing the deposit-earn-swap loop entirely within a confidential envelope. This expansion aims to make onchain capital allocation more confidential, attracting institutional investors who seek to maintain the privacy of their holdings and strategies.

By providing confidential access to existing vaults, Zama enables users to enjoy the same strategy, liquidity, and risk profile while keeping their positions private. The confidential vaults are available on Morpho and can be accessed through the Zama App, Utila, Zerion Wallet, and Yield.xyz in the coming weeks.
