The Shiba Inu ecosystem is set to enhance the privacy of its Layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium, by integrating Zama's Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology. This strategic partnership, confirmed by marketing executive Lucie, aims to introduce full on-chain privacy and confidential smart contracts by the end of Q2 2026. Zama's roadmap indicates that a public testnet is already operational on Ethereum's Sepolia network, with plans for Ethereum mainnet deployment and a token generation event by late 2025. This integration is expected to significantly boost Shibarium's privacy and security features, positioning it as a unique FHE-powered privacy chain in the blockchain space.
