Imagine the scene: A developer stands in front of the future of encrypted computation excited, curious, but unsure which door leads to the real opportunity.
Two paths appear. Both lead into the world of encrypted smart contracts, FHEVM, and Zama’s privacy-first blockchain vision…
but each in a very different way.

𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙊𝙣𝙚: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙝
This is the full adventure the complete quest.
You build:
•Smart contracts using Zama’s FHEVM
•A working frontend
•Clean, functional tests
•Documentation that makes the whole thing reproducible
Every month,
@zama selects the 5 strongest demo apps.
Those developers split a $10,000 prize pool, gain recognition, and receive the rare Zama OG NFT.
This track is perfect if you want to show what fully private on-chain apps can look like real encrypted DeFi logic, encrypted payments, or privacy-preserving tools that work end-to-end.

𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙏𝙬𝙤: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙮 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙝
This is the precision route focused, modular, impactful.
Instead of building a whole app, you create:
•A standalone demo
•A feature showcase
•An example like encrypted access control, user decryption, public decryption, or other FHEVM capabilities
The top 5 bounties also share a $10,000 prize pool, with higher payouts for top-ranked entries and winners also earn the Zama OG NFT.
This track is ideal if you want to contribute smaller but highly valuable building blocks that expand the FHEVM ecosystem and help other developers build faster.

Joining either track isn’t just about the prize pool it’s about stepping into the next era of cryptography:
➠ Cash Rewards
Prize pool payouts up to $2,000–$5,000 depending on category and ranking.
➠ Portfolio Power
You gain real experience with FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) and encrypted smart contracts a skill that is rare, valuable, and future-proof.
➠ Visibility and Reputation
Your work becomes part of the public
@zama ecosystem.
Builders gain exposure, credibility, and recognition in a fast-expanding privacy niche.
➠ Ecosystem Access
Strong contributors often become familiar faces within Zama’s dev community, gaining early opportunities, networking benefits, and potential future roles in Zama’s ecosystem.
➠ Impact
Every submission big or small helps move crypto toward real, programmable privacy.

Choose Builder if you:
•Want to showcase a full private dApp
•Enjoy frontend smart contract development
•Want to build something polished, complete, and ecosystem-ready
Choose Bounty if you:
•Prefer smaller code contributions
•Want to learn FHEVM from practical examples
•Enjoy writing reusable utilities, helpers, or feature demos
Even beginners can start from the Bounty track, learn the flow, then graduate into the Builder path once comfortable.

Zama’s Developer Program doesn’t just reward coding.
It rewards vision the people willing to build the foundation of private computation in crypto.
Two tracks.
One encrypted future.
And a chance to place your name at the core of it.
