bounty-program

This repository is the home of the Zama Bounty Program. Zama is a cryptography company that works on Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a technique that lets you run computations on encrypted data without ever decrypting it — so a cloud service could process your information while never being able to read it. The bounty program offers monetary rewards (paid in euros) to developers who tackle specific FHE-related challenges contributed by Zama, with the goal of pushing the technology forward and growing the open-source ecosystem around their libraries. The README notes that the emphasis is on innovation and contribution rather than on bug fixes.

The page itself is essentially a public scoreboard and entry point. It shows the season of the program, links into the Zama Discord and community pages, and lists a leaderboard of past contributors ranked by total euros earned, with the top earner above sixteen thousand euros and dozens of other paid contributors below. The README also references sections on previous winning solutions, support channels, and a FAQ.

Notably, an archive note at the top says this page has been archived and directs interested developers to the newer Zama Developer Program for current bounties. So in practice the repository is now a historical record of who won what during the bounty program's run, useful if you want to see the calibre of work that was rewarded or read past winning submissions for inspiration before joining the successor program. There is no code in the description or topics, only documentation — the topics list cryptography, fully-homomorphic-encryption, and bounty-program. The full README is longer than what was provided.
