Nillion

Through groundbreaking technology, Nillion is revolutionizing data privacy and security at Nillion. The company is the developer of a decentralized computing platform designed to enhance the secure processing and storage of high-value data. Nillion's core innovation, Nil Message Compute (NMC), enables computations on encrypted data without the need for decryption, a process termed 'Blind Computation'. This represents a significant advancement in privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), allowing for the secure handling of sensitive information across various industries. The Nillion network architecture is comprised of two main components: the Petnet and nilChain. Petnet is a network of nodes that allows developers to utilize PETs to store and compute data while it remains encrypted. nilChain, built on the Cosmos SDK stack, serves as a blockchain that manages shared resources for the Nillion Network, including rewards, cryptoeconomic stake, and governance, without an open execution environment for smart contracts.

Nillion's technology integrates multiple PETs such as Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). This multi-faceted approach allows developers to select the optimal security solution based on their specific needs, addressing trade-offs in performance, security, and cost. The platform aims to become the internet's base layer for all private data, unlocking new utility in Web3 and beyond. Use cases span decentralized credit scoring, private NFTs, decentralized secure storage services, quantum-secure messaging, encrypted trading platforms, private healthcare analytics, and private AI model training and inference. By enabling enterprises and individuals to process and analyze sensitive data without compromising privacy, Nillion is paving the way for a new generation of secure and private applications in fields like AI, DeFi, healthcare, and IoT.
