Privacy technology is quietly becoming the narrative focus of the crypto market in 2026. The core of this shift is driven by those teams that are truly investing in FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) R&D.

A leading privacy technology project recently announced specific timelines for its public funding. Market signals are already quite clear:

▸ Not just a paper promise — years of solid foundational FHE development
▸ A mature team of over 120 members, including technical backbone with deep backgrounds in cryptography

This is not just a fundraising move; behind it is a critical moment for privacy infrastructure to move from concept to actual deployment.

FHE is really not just a hype concept anymore, with a team of over 120 members and years of accumulation... there's something there. Another major move in the privacy track, this time it feels real, not just a funding news cycle. Wait, when does this funding open? Getting on board early is never a bad idea. Will privacy infrastructure really take off in 2026? I'm a bit hopeful but also cautious. Solid R&D foundation is the key, much better than those who boast every day. A cryptography team of over 120 people working on FHE... this investment might really need to be bet on.

FHE has indeed been brewing for a long time, and finally a team has come out and made it happen A lineup of over 120 people is no joke; this funding round is about to take off The wave of privacy infrastructure might really be coming; we'll see by 2026 Paper promises are getting old, this time it's different The team depth is here; funding is just a confirmation FHE is finally turning from a PPT into a product, I'm a bit excited Cryptography experts are gathering, I have a good feeling about this

Over 120 people? I've experienced teams shrinking from 500 to 50, what can headcount on paper really tell... The key is how long they can survive after funding. Another hype, FHE has been developing for years and is still just storytelling; projects in 2018 also boasted like this. I'm optimistic about the privacy track, but this funding milestone feels like a prelude to harvesting retail investors.

Laughing out loud, what is "quietly becoming" again? The crypto world has never lacked stories of "quietly becoming." Last time it was GameFi, and next time I don't know what it will be. A team of 120+ people sounds impressive, but I just want to know how many are actually working. Are the rest just writing white papers or holding meetings? FHE has been in development for years. When the funding timeline is announced, it will be even more interesting. When the lock-up period arrives, let's see how long this narrative can last and how much it can rise.

FHE is really about to take off this time, not just bragging, it looks serious now A team of over 120 people? We should get on board now Just another narrative of cutting leeks through fundraising The privacy track has been hyped too much in the past two years, but few projects are truly implementable This time is different, with technical accumulation in place Let's wait until the fundraising is over and retail investors are cut before talking Haha, finally someone is serious about working on FHE The promises on paper have been hyped for so long, let's see what this time can deliver But privacy is indeed a necessity, the market hasn't fully realized it yet I've been waiting for this narrative shift for a while, it's not too late to get in now

FHE is really about to take off this time. How long has it been hyped up, and finally someone is actually doing it. Wait, a team of 120+ people? This scale is not a joke. Is the privacy narrative about to take over performance... let's keep an eye on it. Honestly, compared to those who just publish a white paper and raise funds everywhere, those who genuinely focus on R&D are more worth paying attention to. Is the funding timeline now public? Keep an eye on it.

I just want to ask, are these 120+ people really coding or is it just another round of fundraising PPTs? FHE has been hyped for so many years, but where are the usable products? --- Privacy narratives are emerging, but the actual application layer is still a wasteland. Who would believe it? --- Revealing the fundraising timeline, what signal does that send? Let's wait and see if the fundraising can be successfully completed before jumping to conclusions. --- Years of R&D accumulation sound impressive, but why is there still no killer app in the market... --- FHE is indeed an opportunity; it all depends on who can be the first to truly run a complete commercial cycle. --- Surface-level promises are no longer surprising; the key is how to deliver after raising the funds. --- Privacy infrastructure from concept to implementation sounds easy, but in reality, only a few can actually achieve it.
