\section{Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)}
\subsection{FHE Integration}
For Tier 2 contracts, Z-Chain uses \textbf{TFHE (Threshold FHE)}:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=1.1em]
\item \textbf{Encryption}: User encrypts inputs under FHE public key
\item \textbf{Computation}: Smart contract operates on ciphertexts
\item \textbf{Decryption}: Threshold decryption by validator committee
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Supported Operations}
\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lrr}
\toprule
Operation & Gas Cost & Latency \\
\midrule
Addition & 50k & 0.1ms \\
Multiplication & 250k & 2ms \\
Comparison ($<, >$) & 180k & 1.5ms \\
AND/OR/XOR & 40k & 0.08ms \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\caption{FHE operation costs and performance}
\end{table}
\textbf{Example Use Cases}:
\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=1.1em]
\item Encrypted auctions (bids hidden until reveal)
\item Private voting (encrypted vote tallying)
\item Confidential credit scores (encrypted FICO-like computation)
\end{itemize}
