Introduction
Nillion is a permissionless network that redefines secure decentralized data storage and computation for AI and blockchains. The network creates the novel ability for decentralized AI and blockchains to be able to store and process data without seeing it, unlocking a significant white space. Nillion has a suite of application tools – nilAI, nilVM, and nilDB. The tools allow developers to build private data applications.
I. Project Overview Nillion, founded in 2021, is a decentralized privacy-preserving computation infrastructure focused on providing developers with secure and efficient data processing capabilities. It supports the development of privacy-friendly applications in AI, DeFi, and data storage. By leveraging a unique architectural design and integrating multiple privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) such as Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), Nillion enables "blind computation" on sensitive data, ensuring confidentiality and data ownership during usage. The Nillion network consists of two core layers: The Coordination Layer (nilChain), built on the Cosmos SDK, handles payments, coordination, and security mechanisms. The Orchestration Layer (Petnet) is responsible for executing encrypted computations and managing data storage. Developers can utilize a suite of tools including nilVM, nilDB, and nilAI to build privacy-driven applications across various abstraction levels using Nillion’s underlying protocols and compilers. The mainnet is now live. Nillion has established ecosystem partnerships with Aptos, NEAR, Arbitrum, Ritual, Healthblocks, and others, covering areas such as AI inference, medical data, on-chain identity, and DePIN. It is gradually building a privacy computation network tailored for high-value data processing. NIL is the platform’s native token, used for payments, staking, validation, and governance. II. Project Highlights Integration of Multiple Privacy-Enhancing Technologies Nillion does not rely on a single technical approach. Instead, it integrates various PETs including MPC, FHE, and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). Through modular combinations, it offers developers flexible, efficient, and secure data processing capabilities, supporting a wide range of use cases from basic computation to AI inference. Unique Dual-Layer Architecture to Address Performance and Privacy Unlike traditional blockchains that rely on global consensus, Nillion separates computation and payment through its dual-layer architecture. The Coordination Layer manages incentives and scheduling, while the Orchestration Layer focuses on executing privacy-preserving computations and storing data. This design supports horizontal scalability and customizable clusters, offering elastic support for applications of varying sizes. Developer-Friendly with a Complete Toolchain Nillion provides a comprehensive development toolchain, including nilVM, nilAI, nilDB, and a dedicated programming language called Nada. It supports integration with JavaScript and Python, enabling developers to build and deploy privacy-centric applications without deep cryptographic knowledge. Key use cases include AI, data marketplaces, and DeFi. Steady Ecosystem Expansion with Rich Multi-Chain Integrations The project has formed collaborations with major blockchain ecosystems such as Aptos, NEAR, Arbitrum, and Sei. It serves real-world applications including Virtuals, Healthblocks, and Ritual, covering AI inference, health data, and on-chain identity. These integrations demonstrate strong usability and expansion potential. III. Market Valuation Outlook As a decentralized privacy computation network, Nillion combines advanced PETs like MPC and FHE to build foundational infrastructure for AI inference, data storage, DeFi protocols, and cross-chain ecosystems. The NIL token plays a central role in the ecosystem, serving multiple purposes including payment for privacy computation services, node incentives, and governance. Its market valuation can be benchmarked against similar infrastructure projects such as Sei Network (SEI), privacy chain Aleo, and SVM acceleration chain Solayer (LAYER). IV.

Privacy guaranteed with 'blind computation' in data processing. Simultaneous launch of mainnet and $NIL token with initial volatility. Use of advanced cryptographic techniques for data security. Nillion Network has just announced the launch of its mainnet, promising to revolutionize the way sensitive data is handled in decentralized applications (DApps). Using innovative cryptographic methods, such as full homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs (ZK Proofs), the platform ensures that data processing is carried out securely and privately. In a strategic move, Nillion also introduced its native token, $NIL, simultaneously with the mainnet launch. The token debuted at an initial price of $0,40, quickly reaching $0,97. However, at press time, $NIL was trading at $0,735, reflecting a 13% drop in the last 24 hours. Nillion stands out in the blockchain technology landscape for its ability to decentralize trust in high-value, sensitive, and privacy-sensitive data. The network not only facilitates the decentralization of transactions, but also provides a robust solution for decentralized data storage and processing. With a modular and flexible architecture, Nillion enables the use of advanced cryptographic techniques, enhancing existing workflows and unlocking new possibilities for developers. One of Nillion’s major differentiators is its ability to perform blind computation. In this process, sensitive data remains encrypted throughout the processing cycle, allowing it to be manipulated without the need for decryption. This approach protects data confidentiality, even if computing infrastructure operators do not have the ability to access the encrypted content. In this way, the network avoids the conventional cycle of decrypting, processing, and then re-encrypting, minimizing data exposure. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, we need to reimagine the internet. We need a new digital landscape where privacy isn't a luxury but a fundamental right, where users can trust that their data is protected, an AI internet built on security and trust.… pic.twitter.com/SZzafDNe98 — Nillion (@nillionnetwork) March 24, 2025 Additionally, Nillion incorporates blind modules that utilize privacy-enhancing technologies such as secure multi-party computation (MPC) and homomorphic encryption (HE).

What is Nillion (NIL)? Nillion (NIL) is a decentralized, privacy-focused computation network designed to securely process sensitive data without exposing it. Unlike traditional cloud computing services that require data to be decrypted before computation, Nillion uses advanced privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) to perform operations on encrypted data, keeping it confidential at all times. This concept, known as blind computation, allows users to process information without ever revealing it to anyone—not even the infrastructure operators. Nillion’s core mission is to become the backbone of secure AI, decentralized trading, private healthcare analytics, and other industries where data privacy is crucial. By distributing trust across a network rather than concentrating it in a single entity, Nillion eliminates the risks associated with centralized data storage and computation. Who Created Nillion (NIL)? Nillion was co-founded by a team of cryptographers, engineers, and blockchain experts committed to enhancing data security in Web3 and beyond. The company’s leadership includes Alex Page (CEO) and Miguel de Vega (Chief Scientist), alongside a team of specialists who have experience in blockchain security, AI, and cryptographic research. What VCs Back Nillion (NIL)? Nillion has raised tens of millions of USD from prominent blockchain projects such as Hack VC, Arbitrum, Worldcoin, Sei, etc. Additionally, Nillion has partnered with NEAR, Aptos, Arbitrum, Ritual, and others to strengthen its network and expand its real-world applications. How Nillion (NIL) Works There are three major components of the Nillion network: 1. Petnet – The Secure Computation Layer The Petnet is Nillion’s core network. It consists of nodes (computers in the network) that work together to store and process encrypted data. Unlike traditional cloud services, where one company controls the data, Nillion’s Petnet spreads data across multiple nodes, ensuring decentralization and privacy. Developers can choose their own level of security by selecting different Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs), such as: ● Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) – Splits data into secret parts and processes them across multiple computers without ever revealing the full data. ● Homomorphic Encryption (HE) – Allows computations on encrypted data without decrypting it. ● Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) – Special hardware environments that keep data safe while processing it. These technologies allow companies to store and analyze data without putting user privacy at risk. 2. nilChain – The Blockchain for Coordination The nilChain is Nillion’s blockchain layer. It is not a smart contract platform but instead helps coordinate network activity. It does this by: ● Managing payments for data storage and computation services using the NIL token. ● Ensuring security through a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) system, where users stake tokens to vote on network decisions. ● Coordinating node clusters, which are groups of computers that work together to process secure data. Since Nillion does not have a global shared state like traditional blockchains, it is much faster and more scalable. 3. Blind Modules – The Building Blocks of Secure Computation At the heart of Nillion’s technology are Blind Modules. These are special software packages that bring Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to developers. Nillion offers three main Blind Modules: a) nilDB – Secure Storage and Data Processing nilDB is Nillion’s encrypted database. It allows users to store, query, and analyze data securely. Unlike traditional databases, where data is stored in a readable format, nilDB encrypts data before storing it and keeps it private even during computations. Use Cases: ● Healthcare: Hospitals can securely analyze patient data without risking privacy. ● Finance: Banks can perform fraud detection without exposing customer information. b) nilAI – Private AI Computation nilAI is designed for secure AI training and inference. It allows AI models to process encrypted data, which is crucial for personalized AI applications. Use Cases: ● Private AI Assistants: Users can have AI assistants that learn about them without exposing personal data. ● Secure AI Training: Companies can train AI models using sensitive data without breaching privacy laws. c) nilVM – Decentralized Signing and Computation nilVM enables secure multi-party signing using cryptographic techniques. This is useful for identity verification, secure transactions, and DAO voting. Use Cases: ● Cryptographic Wallets: Users can securely sign transactions without exposing their private keys. ● DAO Governance: Organizations can conduct private, tamper-proof voting. NIL Goes Live on Bitget Nillion is changing the way we think about data privacy. By enabling Blind Computation, it allows companies, developers, and individuals to store and use data securely without revealing it. The NIL token powers the Nillion network. It has several important functions: Paying for Storage & Computation – Users pay NIL tokens to store data or perform computations on the network. Securing the Network – Nodes stake NIL tokens to participate in secure computations. Governance – NIL holders can vote on network policies and decisions. This incentive system ensures the network is secure, decentralized, and efficient. Nillion is crucial for the future of AI, finance, healthcare, and blockchain. As more companies and developers build on Nillion’s privacy-first infrastructure, we may see a future where our most sensitive data is finally protected, even while being used. The internet’s next evolution isn’t just about decentralization—it’s about privacy. And with Nillion, that future is here.

Original Article Title: Crypto AI Moats: Where Capital and Agents Converge Original Article Authors: @Defi0xJeff, @steak_studio Lead Original Article Translation: zhouzhou, BlockBeats Editor's Note: Cryptographic AI empowers autonomous intelligent agents to manage assets, optimize cash flow, and operate autonomously within the DeFi ecosystem. Compared to Web2 AI, it can access decentralized data, leverage open model collaboration, and accelerate evolution. With the development of DeFi, Darwinian AI, and decentralized infrastructure, AI will not only be an assistant but a direct participant in the on-chain economy, enabling asset holding, trading, and value creation. Crypto AI combines programmable currency with intelligent agents to build a decentralized economic system, accelerating the arrival of autonomous intelligent agent economics and breaking through the limitations of Web2 AI. The following is the original content (slightly reorganized for readability): As the market tightens, capital is gradually concentrating on stronger fundamentals, and the next wave of innovation in the AI field is accelerating its collision with the core moat of the crypto world. Here are several key areas where crypto x AI may further converge, showcasing and solidifying the native AI applications in crypto. The most direct synergy between AI and crypto: capital efficiency and yield optimization. DeFi - On-Chain Yield Stablecoins RWA Spot Perpetual Contract Trading Lending Markets Yield Markets (Interest / Rewards) DeFi has always been at the core of the crypto world, providing globally accessible on-chain yield and trading opportunities. The incorporation of AI can more efficiently capture and optimize this value, enabling better utilization of idle capital. For example, DeFi can be used as a tool to hedge against inflation or to generate excess returns through AI strategies. Stablecoins: as a core use case of cryptocurrency, encompassing nearly all on-chain transaction scenarios. RWA: tokenizing assets such as government bonds, debt, real estate, DePIN loans, GPU computing power, and bringing them on-chain. Spot Perpetual Contract Trading: optimizing transaction fees and returns. Lending Markets: enhancing fund utilization through a more efficient lending mechanism to achieve superior returns. Yield Market: Introducing a new interest rate market to enhance yield optimization capabilities. Crypto = DeFi = Capital Flow and Value Accrual. Web3 AI may be better suited for this than closed Web2 systems, as the openness and incentive mechanisms of blockchain and tokenomics allow AI to efficiently manage funds. Although DeFi AI is still in its early stages, there have been some exciting developments: · @gizatechxyz's stablecoin yield optimization AI agent has surpassed $1M TVL, with a trading volume of $6M, achieving a yield 83%+ higher than traditional lending strategies. · @Cod3xOrg has launched the Sophon Spark trading agent competition, where agents compete for a $1.5M reward and enhance their trading capabilities through data-optimized AI. · @autonolas has introduced Modius Optimus, serving as personal portfolio management AI agents. Their team is the only one supporting users to run AI agents locally and recently launched the $1M Olas Accelerator Program. · Projects like @HeyAnonai, @AIWayfinder, @slate_ceo, among others, are exploring more user-friendly DeFi gateways, albeit still in the early stages. Why Are AI Agents Suitable for DeFi? AI agents can continuously optimize yield and manage risk 24/7, intelligently adjusting positions. MPC (Multi-Protocol Compatible) is driving deep integration of DeFi with AI, enabling AI agents to access on-chain data and integrate more protocols. In the next year, AI agents may handle a significant amount of on-chain transactions, automate DeFi operations, and enhance yield optimization capabilities. Key Areas to Watch: Teams driving technological advancements and building developer ecosystems (hackathons, competitions, workshops, etc.). Teams focusing on privacy, verifiability, and non-custodial models to ensure users truly control AI agents. Growth metrics of AI agents, such as AUA (Agent Under Management) / TVL (Total Value Locked). Beyond DeFi, AI is igniting an evolutionary race. Crypto AI is not just a yield optimization tool; it is accelerating the natural selection of AI agents and teams—only the strongest AI agents and teams can survive and thrive. The Darwinian Law of AI Evolution (Natural Selection) @opentensor (AI Compute Network) @AlloraNetwork (Machine Learning / Prediction) @BitRobotNetwork (Robotics) Darwinism: The concept that "species evolve through natural selection." In other words, this is the AI team's "Hunger Games" — either driving technological advancement and receiving incentives or being phased out by the market. Web3 AI provides the most suitable infrastructure for AI evolution, accelerating the process of natural selection through token incentives, inflation/deflation mechanisms. Bittensor has been at the forefront of driving this trend, with many teams building technology around its subnets (such as SN6, 41, 44), especially in the GambleFAI (prediction market) domain, leveraging AI/ML prediction capabilities to gain a competitive edge in the market. Allora is harnessing the power of machine learning to accelerate and enhance their models, covering a wide range of financial prediction use cases. Allora's model is similar to Bittensor but focuses on financial prediction. Instead of using subnets, it has established "Topics" (specific financial prediction use cases), where development teams can compete in these areas, with the top-performing teams receiving the most incentives. Best Use Case: Allora is collaborating with @steerprotocol to utilize AI-driven liquidity provision strategies to maximize returns on holdings while reducing impermanent loss (IL). Bit Robot is developed by the @frodobots team, who are also the team behind @SamIsMoving (within the @virtuals_io ecosystem). Currently, there is limited information about Bit Robot, but they plan to build an ecosystem similar to Bittensor, focusing on robotics technology. Their subnets will represent different aspects of the robotics field, such as data, hardware, visual models, LLM, etc. Focus Areas: $TAO price trends, dTAO ecosystem growth, how consumer apps/agents leverage subnet technology, Allora ecosystem integration, case studies, and Token Generation Events (TGE). Key Elements of Decentralized Infrastructure: Data Model Training Verifiability Confidentiality DePIN (GPU) This type of infrastructure supports open collaboration, open innovation, and prevents the monopolization of technological innovation by a few centralized players. As mentioned in my previous article, with the advancement of DeFAI and Darwinian AI evolution, we will see continued adoption of these infrastructures, especially as more mature and clear use cases emerge. In the short to medium term, the areas that interest me the most are: Social Emotional Data: · @KaitoAI Yap Leaderboard and the recently launched Yaps Open Protocol, allowing teams to build products based on Yap scores · @aixbt_agent tracking mapping Alpha/Social trends on Twitter · @cookiedotfun providing AI agent marketplace/social intelligence On-chain Data: · Currently, in the on-chain data space, we have not seen an absolute leader like in social emotional data. Other Data Players · Data Fetching: @getgrass_io utilizing idle bandwidth for data collection · Data Ownership: @vana incentivizing data ownership through DataDAOs · Secure Computation: @nillionnetwork introducing Blind Compute, its applications, and the upcoming $NIL TGE (launching soon) For further reading on the data space: About DePIN (GPU) There are currently two interesting protocols emerging that facilitate the securitization of GPU assets through on-chain lending, helping data centers and operators to massively scale their GPU businesses. Due to the continued growth of AI, the demand for computing power will never cease, and data centers will always need capital to expand operations. Therefore, projects like @gaib_ai and @metastreetxyz are connecting DeFi liquidity with borrowing demands, enabling on-chain DePIN rewards while providing capital support to GPU operators. Gaib AI Dollar: MetaStreet USDAI: Key Takeaways Crypto-native AI solves challenges that Web2 AI cannot overcome. Crypto AI not only provides computational power to intelligent agents but also endows them with transactional capabilities, enabling AI to manage assets, optimize cash flows, and autonomously operate in an open and permissionless network. Crypto AI is shaping a brand-new world where intelligent agents can: · Freely move funds within the DeFi ecosystem without centralized intermediaries; · Access decentralized data streams unreachable by Web2, gaining access to a richer source of information; · Evolve faster through open models and collaborative ecosystems compared to closed systems. In essence, Crypto AI turns scenarios that Web2 AI cannot replicate at scale into reality: the combination of programmable money and autonomous intelligent agents creates a fully verifiable, composable economic system. With the continued maturity of DeFi, Darwinian AI, and decentralized infrastructure, we will see AI not just as an assistant but as a direct participant in on-chain economies. AI is not just smarter but also capable of autonomously holding, transacting, optimizing, and creating value; this is the true moat of Crypto AI. “Original Article Link”

Original Article Title: "Deep Privacy, Written Before the Nillion Coin Launch" Original Article Author: Lord Zuo Chariots reveal horsepower, Bi Gan sees people's hearts. NIL reaches for the sky, XMR delisted in the meantime. Blockchain originated from privacy technology, especially cryptography. From elliptic curves to zero-knowledge proofs, all prove the success of privacy economics in the Web 3.0 era. However, things are never perfect. From XMR frequently delisted from CEX/DEX, to the Tornado Cash founder's arrest, you will find that even if Nillion can list on Binance, the hacker spirit of privacy projects is receding. Their final product delivery capability is also far from perfect. In refining privacy products, blockchain projects in the same category need to learn from their Web2 counterparts to improve their execution. Proton Proves Privacy Can Be a Well-Functioning Product Privacy is a Feature,Not a Product. Mere talk of privacy as a product enhancement is meaningless. In other words, privacy also needs PMF. Giants such as Google and Meta can invade privacy while making it irresistible, thanks to convenience and network effects. Plug and play, ubiquitous usage in both personal and office settings lead to eventual acceptance of everything Google has to offer. Image Description: Giant Fine, Image Source: Proton In this regard, the regulatory authorities have failed miserably with the fine-as-management model. Taking the legendary fine against Google of 2.974 billion USD as an example, Google would probably earn it back in just 16 days. Yet, these fines cannot become the income of European tech companies, making them further powerless against Google. Faced with this issue, Proton's approach is to build its own ecosystem, starting from CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). Scientific researchers' inherently pure reputation is higher than that of commercial companies. With cryptographic technology, open-source code, and product audits, the privacy products they build truly have practical significance—you can achieve the same functionalities without using Google's ecosystem. Of course, the current network effects and economies of scale are still unable to compete with the giants. However, compared to blockchain peers, the products they offer are sufficient for daily use and qualify as a Google Alternative. Image Description: Proton Product and Partial Comparison, Image Source: @zuoyeweb3 Compared to the Google Workspace suite, the current Proton is mainly centered around Proton Mail's own competitive products. It is worth mentioning that Proton Mail is also a favorite of Twitter, Square, and other founder Jack Dorsey. Proton Mail is different from typical email products in that it does not require binding a phone number to use, and it supports end-to-end encryption mode to ensure the privacy of email transmission. Before Telegram became regulated, using Proton Mail in conjunction with TG's end-to-end mode could basically establish a relatively high-level commercial privacy experience. Of course, after Telegram's decline, Proton Mail combined with Signal can also meet the privacy surfing needs of most people. Similar to Telegram, Proton has also begun to enter the Web3 field. Its first product is the Proton Wallet. Unlike transaction-oriented products such as Bitget Wallet and Binance Wallet, Proton Wallet is extremely restrained and has relatively simple functionality. The significance of Proton lies in proving the feasibility of building products based on privacy technology. Different from the ad-based profit model of traditional giants, Proton adopts a paid system. In contrast to the tokenomics system of its Web3 peers, Proton has not taken the step of issuing tokens, which we can call: The tokenless implementation of encryption technology. From Skiff to Nillion, Tokenization of Encryption Technology If Proton is considered Don Quixote, then Skiff, Nym, Privasea to Nillion are the dwarfs, who have not yet found their own PMF, but the token (Snow White) is one step ahead. On February 9, 2024, Notion announced the acquisition of Skiff. This is also the first case of a Web2 major product acquiring a Web3 startup. Pioneering a new industry trend without taking the token issuance route. On another note, Stripe's acquisition of Bridge was actually the second time. Skiff and Google Suite are also quite similar, ranging from an IPFS-based document suite to an encrypted email service. However, there is a huge problem: the UI is extremely unattractive, providing a poor user experience. This is also the biggest issue with current Web3 products, as they are hindered by the slow and expensive nature of the blockchain's underlying technology, making it difficult to compete with Web2 counterparts when developing large-scale products. Proton is a suitable Google alternative, but Skiff is not a qualified Proton alternative. Furthermore, the development of other Web3 privacy products has been less than satisfactory. Nym has gradually shifted its focus to the VPN field, Privasea with an FHE focus emphasizes more on AI integration, and today's Nillion is still stuck in the previous cycle's MPC narrative. Yes, narratives are cyclical. The concepts of MPC and Blind Computation (Blind Compute, NBC) built by Nillion are derivative narratives in the Ethereum and ZK applications within the L2/Rollup domain. AA wallets and MPC paradigms fall into this category. With Ethereum's weak price performance, privacy-focused products are being abandoned by the market. The most glaring example is that FHE did not become the next step for ZK. Reference article: FHE is the next step for ZK, says encryption technology. It's not that privacy technology is unimportant; it's that the combination of privacy technology and tokens is no longer essential or, at least, not important in the current stage. Without privacy technology, Proton cannot establish its own business logic and product matrix; this is the key to achieving Product-Market Fit. However, for products like Nillion, investments from Binance and Hack VC seem to be more crucial. As for the concept of Blind Computation, the Trust Layer, the multi-ecosystem, and privacy AI are not Nillion's true sources of profit. We all know this very well. Nillion's only product may truly be its token. From this perspective, at least Nym really needs to go after the VPN market. Image Description: Nillion's latest paper, Image Source: Nillion In its latest technical paper, Nillion's research focus remains on the practical application of MPC. Traditional secure-sharing MPC algorithms lead to a drastic increase in data volume during computation, and Nillion is researching how to reduce algorithm complexity to improve computational efficiency. Well, let's take a look at the Nillion token's listing performance. As the saying goes, this kind of Web3 privacy technology combined with AI cannot find a real application scenario because neither OpenAI nor DeepSeek consider these factors. If a new product adds privacy technology to seize market share from them, then it would be a meaningful pioneering move. If it lacks meaning, then let's turn our attention to @Optimism; it truly believes that privacy is crucial. However, while Privacy is Good, there still needs to be a Privacy Product to demonstrate it. Mere discussions of MPC / ZK / TEE / FHE / AI without solving any problems are meaningless. Everyone can chant slogans that do not address the issue, but in the end, it will harm the social credibility of the underlying technology. The consequences have already emerged. Now, people are talking about L2 color shifts, which will also make people feel like ZK is a scam. Following the significant loss at Bybit due to Safe, silence is not limited to Vitalik; it also includes frontend developers and multi-signature mechanisms. Conclusion Monero, the XMR cryptocurrency, may feel somewhat unfamiliar to people in today's BNB Chain Meme Express era, but it should be regarded as the final attempt, after Bitcoin, to truly consider the integration of cryptographic technology and its own application scenarios. On February 7, 2024, two days before Skiff officially "joined" Notion, XMR was delisted from Binance, "withdrawing" from its largest source of liquidity. Perhaps since then, so-called privacy technologies are all akin to F-47, merely part of a win-learning process, albeit the Web3 privacy economics has not completely collapsed. Original Article Link
Bitget will go live with Nillion (NIL) on the Pre-Market today at 20:00. Starts: 21 March 20:00 End time: 24 March 20:30 Spot trading time: 21:00 on 24th March Delivery start time: 24 March 22:00 Delivery end time: 25 March 02:00 Pre-market Pair: NIL / USDT
We're thrilled to announce that Bitget will launch Nillion (NIL) in pre-market trading. Users can trade NIL in advance, before it becomes available for spot trading. Details are as follows: Start time: 21 March, 2025, 12:00 (UTC) End time: 24 March, 2025, 12:30 (UTC) Spot Trading time: 24 March, 2025, 13:00 (UTC) Delivery Start time: 24 March, 2025, 14:00 (UTC) Delivery End time: 24 March, 2025, 18:00 (UTC) Pre-market trading link: NIL/USDT Bitget Pre-Market Introduction Delivery method: Coin settlement, USDT settlement Coin settlement Starting from the project's delivery start time, the system will periodically execute multiple deliveries for orders under the Coin Settlement mode. Sell orders with sufficient spot balances will be filled with corresponding buy orders. If there are insufficient project tokens or if sellers voluntarily choose to default, compensation with security deposits will not be triggered immediately. At the project's delivery end time, the system will either deliver or compensate any remaining undelivered orders. USDT settlement For orders under the USDT Settlement mode, all delivery will be executed at the delivery end time of the project. The delivery time for the pre-market project will be announced once the coin's spot listing time is confirmed. Stay tuned to relevant notifications and announcements for the latest information. Example: The user buys 10 tokens at 10 USDT (the filled order is called Order A) and sells 10 tokens at 15 USDT (the filled order is called Order B). At delivery time, the system calculates the delivery execution price based on the average index price from the last ten minutes. Assuming the execution price is 5 USDT, the calculations are as follows: PnL of Order A = (5 – 10) × 10 = –50 USDT PnL of Order B = (15 – 5) × 10 = 100 USDT The total PnL for the user in pre-market trading is 50 USDT. For USDT settlement, orders are settled at the average index price from the last ten minutes as the delivery execution price, determined by a weighted average of prices at leading exchanges to ensure fairness and transparency. Introduction Nillion is a decentralized network leveraging blind computing to enable secure data processing and storage while preserving privacy. NIL Total supply: 1,000,000,000 Website | X | Whitepaper FAQ What is pre-market trading? Bitget pre-market trade is an over-the-counter trading platform specializing in providing a pre-traded marketplace for new coins before their official listing. It facilitates peer-to-peer trading between buyers and sellers, enabling them to acquire coins at optimal prices, secure liquidity in advance, and complete delivery at a mutually agreed upon time. What are the advantages of Bitget pre-market trading? Investors often have expectations regarding the price of a new coin before spot trading becomes available. However, they may be unable to purchase the coin at their preferred price and secure liquidity in advance due to lack of access. In response to this, Bitget pre-market trading offers an over-the-counter (OTC) platform where buyers and sellers can establish orders in advance to execute trades as desired and complete delivery later. In this scenario, sellers are not required to own any new coins; instead, they only need to obtain sufficient new coins for delivery before the designated delivery time. How are pre-market trades deliveries completed? Coin Settlement orders: Sellers can choose to either deliver the tokens or compensate with security deposit before the delivery execution. Starting from the project's delivery start time, the system will periodically execute multiple deliveries for orders under the Coin Settlement mode. Sell orders with sufficient coin balances will be filled with the corresponding buy orders. If there are insufficient project tokens or if sellers voluntarily choose to default, compensation with security deposits will not be trigger immediately.At the delivery end time of the project, the system will settle all remaining orders, either through buy delivery or compensation. If there is a sufficient balance, the corresponding quantity of tokens will be transferred to the buyer's spot account, and the buyer's frozen funds will be transferred to the seller's spot account as payment. Otherwise, the transaction will be canceled. In this case, the system will unfreeze the buyer's funds and compensate the buyer with the seller's frozen security deposit. USDT Settlement orders: All deliveries will be executed at the project's delivery end time. Orders are settled at the average index price over the last ten minutes, which serves as the delivery execution price. Profits and losses are calculated based on the difference between the execution price and the delivery execution price. The losing party will pay the difference to the winning party. Note: 1) The system will execute deliveries in chronological order based on the transaction time of the orders. If you have both buy and sell orders in Coin Settlement mode, the quantities cannot offset each other. Please ensure that your spot account has a sufficient available balance for the sell orders at the time of delivery. Orders with insufficient balance will be treated as the seller's default. 2) For coin settlement orders, only tokens available in your spot account will be used for delivery. Tokens frozen in pending orders or held in other accounts will not be used for delivery. 3) The delivery is expected to be completed within one hour. To mitigate the risk of delivery failure due to insufficient funds, the seller of coin settlement orders should refrain from any transactions involving the delivery currency within 30 minutes after the delivery initiation. How can I make a pre-market trade as a seller? As a seller, you are required to use the USDT in your spot account to pay the margin. You can list your new tokens on the order market at your preferred price via Post Order, or you can find a suitable buy order on the order market and sell it to the buyer at the buyer's asking price. Once the order is filled, you just need to wait for the delivery. How can I make a pre-market trade as a buyer? As a buyer, you are required to use USDT from your spot account to pay for the trade. Using the Place Order function, set the quantity of coins you want to buy at your preferred price and list the maker order in the order market. Bitget will then lock the funds for the purchase and handle any related fees. Alternatively, you can directly select a sell order from the marketplace and buy the coins at the seller's designated price. Once the order is filled, simply await delivery. Do I have to fill the entire maker sell/buy order at once in pre-market trading? No, the platform allows you to trade any quantity of coins as long as it meets the minimum transaction limit. Disclaimer Cryptocurrencies are subject to high market risk and volatility despite high growth potential. Users are strongly advised to do their research as they invest at their own risk.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, including Large Language Models (LLMs), have become essential for answering questions, analyzing code, and completing various tasks. However, due to privacy and security concerns, many companies restrict employees from using these tools. While encrypting data enhances security, it is often avoided due to the computational challenges it presents. At this point, a new project named Nillion offers a decentralized network that addresses these issues while ensuring secure data processing. What Is Nillion? Nillion is a decentralized network designed to enhance data security while maintaining high computational efficiency. Unlike traditional encryption methods, it does not require data to be decrypted before processing, which boosts both privacy and performance. The project is founded by a team specialized in blockchain , finance, cryptography, and technology. Key figures include Andrew Masanto, Alex Page, Andrew Yeoh, and others, whose experiences at firms like Goldman Sachs and Uber lend credibility and expertise to the initiative. What is Nillion (NIL) Coin? How Does Nillion Enhance Data Security? Nillion presents an innovative method for securely processing sensitive data. By utilizing Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) such as Multi-Party Computation (MPC), it can process data without decryption, ensuring sensitive information remains protected. MPC allows multiple parties to perform joint computations without revealing their individual inputs. For instance, the Millionaires Problem introduced by Andrew Yao in 1982 enables two individuals to compare their wealth without disclosing their net worths. Nillion applies this principle on a large scale, making it suitable for industries that require high levels of data security.
The Nillion official announced on X that a new version of the airdrop inspection tool has been released, fixing some allocation errors found in the past few days, including users being unable to see associated account eligibility and users not receiving rewards for staking against actions. In addition, Nillion also announced that it will cancel the 90-day lock-in period for pre-staking and distribute all pre-stake rewards on the first day.
According to official news, the privacy computing network Nillion has announced that it has opened up inquiries for NIL token airdrop distribution.
