I am Bruno, an economist based in Lisbon. I have dedicated the last 15 years to research that naturally led me to the world of FHE, Zama, and several other inspiring startups in this field.
My work focuses on solving a critical challenge for real-world businesses: enabling them to safely share confidential financial data. By doing so, we can unlock an entirely new ecosystem of services that adds massive value and disrupts traditional methods.
I am reaching out to share my portfolio and, hopefully, spark some engaging conversations with you all. If you see a connection between my research and your own work in the FHE and PET space, I would love to learn more about your projects. Please feel free to share your website links here or send me a private message.
I also believe a dedicated hackathon could be a fantastic way to kick off collaboration on this front.
Just so you know: we run a Zama Developer Program, though the current season (Mainnet Season 3) wraps up today. There will be another season in the future, so keep an eye out. It could be a great way to get involved.
I made availabe a microsite fluidcluster.pt with the following sections: AI swarm (interaction with core) , Fusion (agent 10 merger or "Swap2 engine), Sandbox( the main algo), and Docs (documentaion

Today I finished a demo that basically engineers this setup as a public blockchain. We still need to hide the topology of the trades and I use the KMS model of Zama. We would prefer to rotate this key for each netting round. The systems is dynamic which means it may not settle if parties don’t want. We could run model CCP (M1) entirely in FHE but then we would need collateral. This can be deployed as pooled invoices against pooled stable coin funds.
We changed the logic so the requests (from the creditor) and confirmations (of the debtor) are done before the netting processing engine, so there are no “two step” rounds within the engine. All is hash-chained including user and processor (ZK) mathematical proofs of balance conservation and limit / collateral constraints are respected
scalable netting (M4 wihtou novation) toy model
triparty set-off toy model (M5)
ABCP vs CBDC or stable coins (eg. using debt, not our preference)
A demonstration of the efficiency of novation.
We identified 5 distinct models of debt compensation
Our algorithm encapsulates all models and variants.
In the paper below we compare M5 to M4 (model 5 set-off vs model 4 with novation with credit constraints)
M1 is the easiest one to grasp. (the tradicionall CCP central counterparty ). Any junior developer can code it with FHE. But will he understand the risk and collateral trade-offs associated with each model?

and Discretionary Credit Caps
The Demo works as expected, By opening the specific channel we reduce the volume or external tokens (cash, swap, you name it) needed to clear all debts:
We finish our public presentations as we move on to a private AI Lab now. Expecting to start coding, testing and production in 2027. Thanks for your attention. There are tons of oher privacy Apps (in the optimization field and other utilities) to leverage the data space we intend to setup.
