Nillion

Nillion is humanity’s first Blind Computer.

Imagine a digital clone of yourself that could act as your assistant. An AI that knows you better than you know yourself.

Sound exciting? Sound scary? Either way, it’s coming. And it has a big problem: Data.

Private data computation across global networks is currently not possible. Without it, Personalized AI cannot gain “the next internet” levels of mass adoption.

That’s why builders hailing from Uber, Coinbase, Consensys, Google, Nike, Polygon, Amazon, and Hedera spent 3 years building: Nillion — the internet’s base layer for all private data.

Nillion has entered the data wars and is providing builders access to a powerful suite of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to develop innovative applications like Personalized AI. The technology allows for data to stay hidden (encrypted) even while it’s being used – a function that’s critical for the future of AI and beyond. Blind Computation has since attracted a growing army of builders across AI, DeFi, custody, wallets, identity, messaging and more.

• A New Paradigm in AI: Nillion's blind computation network unlocks a new paradigm in AI, enabling data and models to be kept private. Nillion has created a decentralized alternative for data that cannot be entrusted to ChatGPT or fully public Crypto x AI networks.

• Blind Computation for All: Nillion provides programmable private data capabilities not existent in blockchains and other off-chain co-processors, unlocking use cases far beyond AI. More than 35 companies have officially partnered with Nillion to build on the network. Use case implementations range from private decentralized dark pools, quantum secure messaging, healthcare analytics, crypto custody, identity applications and more.

• The Orchestration Layer: Nillion is a collaborative vision built upon the assumption that there is no single silver bullet primitive in cryptography that will be the right tool for every job. Different PETs, such as the different flavors of Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are meant to solve different use cases. Nillion brings these technologies together to create a foundational layer of cryptography and Blind Computation.

• Team: The Nillion team has experience founding multiple web3 and web2 protocols/companies, such as Uber, Hedera Hashgraph and Indiegogo, with key members having held positions at Coinbase, Polygon, Polkadot, Google, IBM, Oracle, Nasa, Amazon, Nike, AirBnB, Consensys and more.
