Zama CEO Rand Hindi Slams ’Insane’ KYC Rules—Doubles Down on Privacy with FHE Tech

Know-your-customer protocols just got called out—hard. Zama’s CEO Rand Hindi isn’t mincing words, branding current KYC regulations as 'insane' while pushing fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) as the privacy shield crypto desperately needs.

Why it matters: In an era where financial surveillance feels inevitable, Hindi’s stance throws gasoline on the decentralization debate. FHE could let users verify identities without exposing sensitive data—a middle finger to overzealous compliance departments.

The kicker? Banks still think asking for your childhood pet’s name counts as 'security.' Meanwhile, FHE tech silently rebuilds the system they’re failing to protect.

Zama Boosts Privacy and Innovation in Shiba Inu Ecosystem

Hindi’s advocacy for FHE has been emphasized by Zama’s collaboration with Shiba Inu, a partnership aimed at enhancing privacy and data protection across the shiba inu ecosystem.

FHE allows data to remain encrypted even while it’s being processed, meaning that Shiba Inu users can interact with decentralized applications on Shibarium and ShibaSwap without exposing sensitive personal information.

This technology not only enhances privacy but also opens the door for innovative use cases such as confidential gaming, decentralized finance tools, and anonymous identity solutions within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Looking forward, Zama’s integration with Shiba Inu not only strengthens privacy within the ecosystem but also positions Shiba Inu at the forefront of a new wave of blockchain innovation, where user data protection is a default feature, empowering users with control and confidence.
