"If Ethereum and Solana are going to be the internets of global finance, we need an HTTPS for global finance to run on those, and that's exactly where Zama comes in" Rand, founder of Zama, on why onchain finance needs its own HTTPS moment "Remember there was something called [Spoken audio]: Maybe it would be constructive to talk about what the internet looked like before that existed. What was the solution and what the internet looked like afterwards? I don't actually remember. How old are you, by the way? I'm 49, I remember. Okay, you remember. Great. I remember too. So remember, there was something called the intranets, right? So an intranet was a private network of computers connected within your organization. Organization and you could talk to your co-workers and you could have like a shared database You could exchange information and sometimes companies would connect their intranet to other companies intranet to exchange data This is basically how institutions have been using blockchains up until now Every one of them has their own private chain and they talk to each other, but they're fundamentally siloed What the internet brought was one global public network that everybody could use. It was a way for people to sell products to anybody in the world. It was a way for people to access and share information with anybody in the world without having to have this sort of like intranet connectivity between everyone. This is what public blockchains like Ethereum and Solana are enabling for financial transactions. transactions. One global network everybody could use for transacting financially. The problem, however, in the internet to the early days is if you wanted to buy something on Amazon or any e-commerce website, you had to put your credit card information to anybody on the internet. You could see it. So paying something online meant revealing your credit card data and what you're purchasing to anybody in the world. This was a very big, it was preventing effectively mass adoption of e-commerce and internet. So people invented something called HTTPS, which was simply a layer of encryption on top of the internet, which allowed you to share information privately with a recipient. So when you sent your credit card information on an e-commerce website, you sent an encrypted credit card number that only the e-commerce website could decrypt and they could actually see it. And all of a sudden, you just enabled global commerce on a single shared network. And from that, we started having private communications. When you're sending a prompt to cloud today, your prompt is encrypted. People online cannot see what you're sending to cloud. So everything that we have today, Google and Tropic, OpenAI, Amazon, all of those companies exist because we encrypted the internet. And so now, think again in parallel to public chains. If Ethereum and Solana are going to be the internets of global finance, we need an HTTPS for global finance to run on those. And this is exactly where ZOM actually comes and plays.
