Nillion, a "blind computer" based on multi-party computing, announced an integration with Ethereum's extension layer, Arbitrum. The partnership will enable applications on Nillion to leverage Ethereum's security for settlement and bring Nillion's privacy-preserving data processing and storage capabilities to decentralized applications (dApps) on Arbitrum.
Nillion's distributed network focuses on general data computation and processing, ensuring that data is not revealed during processing through privacy-enhancing technologies such as multi-party computation and fully homomorphic encryption. Once integrated, Nillion applications will be able to settle on Arbitrum, take advantage of its Layer 2 liquidity, and provide private storage and compute space for dApps.
Founded in 2021 by former Uber, Indiegogo, Hedera Hashgraph employees and
Coinbase and Nike executives, Nillion also announced last week a partnership with decentralized AI startup Ritual to develop decentralized blind AI inference technology.
