I am bullish on @nillionnetwork
here's a TLDR
🌟Nillion
A decentralized private computation network transforming how sensitive data is stored and processed without sacrificing privacy
🔑 Core Concepts
🔹 Decentralization of Trust:
Like blockchains decentralize transactions, Nillion decentralizes trust for high-value data.
Ensures no single entity has full access to data or computations.
🏗️ Dual-Network Architecture
1️⃣ NilChain: Manages and coordinates network nodes. 2️⃣ Petnet: Orchestrates secure computation using Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs).
🔒 Key Privacy-Enhancing Technologies
🔹 MPC (Multi-Party Computation): Perform computations without exposing input data.
🔹 FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption): Process encrypted data without decrypting it.
🔹 LSSS (Linear Secret Sharing Scheme): Split data into shares distributed across nodes for added security.
🔄 How Nillion Handles Data
🔹 Data Masking:
Data is transformed into fragments (shares) and distributed across nodes.
Original data cannot be reconstructed from individual shares.
🔹 Secure Computation:
Computations occur directly on masked fragments.
Results are only reassembled after computation, ensuring no raw data exposure.
🛠️ Dynamic Orchestration Developers can dynamically integrate multiple PETs to optimize security, scalability, and performance for specific use cases.
🌍 Real-World Use Cases
🏥 Healthcare: Secure patient data analysis across institutions.
💸 Finance: Enable private transactions and secure asset management.
🤖 AI: Train models on decentralized datasets while maintaining data privacy.
🏢 Enterprises: Share proprietary data securely without exposing raw datasets.
💡 What Makes Nillion Unique?
🔹 Strong privacy + decentralized resilience.
🔹 Flexible orchestration for PET integration.
🔹 Developer-friendly tools to simplify privacy-focused app creation.
Heres a previous pod i did with the co-founder
Nillion is cool tech but very VC heavy (maybe you got into one of the rounds) but Quillibrium is doing something similar with no VC, might be worth a look
