Just noticed Zama rolled out their staking feature on mainnet back in February, and honestly it's a pretty solid technical implementation if you're into FHE stuff.

For context, Zama is doing something interesting with Fully Homomorphic Encryption - basically enabling computation on encrypted data without decrypting it first. They've built their protocol around a proof-of-stake mechanism, which is where this new staking feature comes in.

The operator setup is actually pretty clever. They've got two types of nodes running the network - FHE nodes handling the encrypted computation side, and KMS nodes managing the threshold decryption for users. Right now there are 18 operators total: 5 FHE nodes and 13 KMS nodes keeping things balanced.

Reward-wise, they're giving FHE nodes 40% of the pool and KMS nodes 60%, which makes sense given the different computational loads. If you held tokens from their public auction, you could start claiming and staking from early February. The mechanics are straightforward - stake with an operator, earn your share of rewards, and if you want out there's a 7-day unstaking window.

The whole thing shows they're serious about decentralization rather than just launching another token. Worth keeping an eye on if you're tracking how different projects are approaching their staking infrastructure.
