Nillion

About Nillion​

Nillion is a decentralized secure computation network processing sensitive data without decryption using multi-party computation (MPC) and homomorphic encryption (HE). It enables blind computation where third parties can perform operations on encrypted data while preserving privacy. The infrastructure serves as a privacy layer for applications in AI, healthcare, finance, and identity management.

Key offerings:

  • Blind Modules: Pre-configured privacy computation clusters
  • nilChain: Coordination layer for governance, staking, and transactions
  • Petnet: Orchestration tools combining various privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs)

Integration with Eliza​

While no official ElizaOS plugin is documented publicly, the partnership likely enables:

  • Secure storage of credentials, health records, and financial data
  • Privacy-preserving AI inference and analytics
  • Decentralized identity with zero-knowledge proofs

Recent Developments​

  • Mainnet launched in 2024, supporting projects like Ritual and Monadic DNA
  • 35+ confirmed partners including Aloha AI and Salt
  • NIL token launched on CoinList (March 2025, $750M FDV)
  • Aligned with Apple's private AI vision but emphasizes decentralized trust
  • Expanding Petnet capabilities and developer tooling

Market Position​

Positioned as a privacy compute layer, distinct from transaction-focused chains and co-processors. Notable partnerships include Ritual (decentralized AI), Soarchain (130M+ privacy-preserved IoT data points), and Aloha (dating app).
