Breakdown10 Oct 2024The AI bull case for PETs: Nillion deep diveDeep dive on why AI needs data confidentiality and how Nillion's MPC differs from traditional schemes, with non-linear computation, input-independent pre-processing, non-interactive operation and information-theoretic security. Uses the Ritual partnership as a case study.Explainer16 Oct 2024NEAR x Nillion: private compute for user-owned AIExplains how NEAR apps can send storage and compute requests to Nillion's encrypted MPC and FHE nodes, keeping sensitive data and agent strategies private. Combines NEAR's Nightshade 2.0 scaling and chain signatures with private AI.Thesis07 Mar 2025io.net as a PMF case study in crypto, and why the Nillion tie-up mattersUses io.net as an example of real PMF: decentralized compute serving gaming to AI. Argues the Nillion partnership pairs blind storage and compute with GPUs at scale, driving demand for private agents and more IO adoption.

13 Jul 2025Six post-TGE AI plays to watch: TAO, NEAR, TIG, IO, NIL, CODECDescribes six live AI tokens without Kaito leaderboards: Bittensor subnets as digital commodity markets, NEAR as AI-native L1, TIG for algorithm IP co-ownership, io.net GPU clustering, Nillion blind compute and Codec's VLA framework.MapAIDePIN

08 Jun 2025Nillion as the orchestration layer for privacy-enhancing technologiesArgues that because PETs serve distinct use cases, a coordination layer is crucial, and Nillion can combine them (MPC plus TEE, FHE plus ZK proofs, multiple TEE vendors). Calls blind compute a new design space.ThesisPrivacyAI

30 Apr 2025io.net x Nillion: private decentralized compute stack for personalized AIArgues that pairing io.net GPUs with Nillion's blind compute forms a private, decentralized stack for personalized AI apps, cutting latency and deployment costs by up to 90% versus centralized providers. Sees demand for IO rising as privacy-preserving AI scales.ThesisAIDePINPrivacy

07 Mar 2025io.net as a PMF case study in crypto, and why the Nillion tie-up mattersUses io.net as an example of real PMF: decentralized compute serving gaming to AI. Argues the Nillion partnership pairs blind storage and compute with GPUs at scale, driving demand for private agents and more IO adoption.ThesisDePINAIPrivacy

20 Jan 2025Nillion thesis: blind compute, Curl MPC and the NIL airdropBreaks down Nillion as an orchestration layer for privacy-enhancing technologies. Its Curl MPC scheme, built on Meta's CrypTen, targets efficient private LLM inference and avoids FHE overhead and TEE vendor trust. Also covers the NIL airdrop.BreakdownPrivacyAI

12 Nov 2024Nillion Curl: MPC for private LLM inferenceExplains Curl, Nillion's MPC scheme built on Meta's CrypTen that uses discrete wavelet transforms to compress lookup tables and replace polynomial approximations, speeding private LLM inference. Works with BERT, GPT-2 and GPT Neo.ExplainerPrivacyAI

30 Oct 2024Nillion $25M round led by Hack VC and the AI bull caseReads Nillion's $25M round led by Hack VC as evidence of a coming AI bull cycle in 2025. Positions Nillion as a dark horse, a blind computer combining MPC, FHE and ZK for AI on high-value data.Market takeAIPrivacy

23 Oct 2024Nillion testnet verifiers: 244k verifiers, 133M secretsCites Nillion testnet stats: 244k verifiers verified over 133M secrets, about 700GB of data. Explains the verifier program and staking-based impact score, and expects an airdrop for early participants.DataPrivacy

16 Oct 2024NEAR x Nillion: private compute for user-owned AIExplains how NEAR apps can send storage and compute requests to Nillion's encrypted MPC and FHE nodes, keeping sensitive data and agent strategies private. Combines NEAR's Nightshade 2.0 scaling and chain signatures with private AI.ExplainerAIPrivacy

11 Oct 2024Nillion as blind computer and PET orchestration layer, launch expected Q4/24Expects Nillion to launch in Q4/24 or Q1/25 and describes it as a blind computer that orchestrates MPC, FHE and ZK. Argues this is key to unleashing personalized AI.ThesisPrivacyAI

10 Oct 2024The AI bull case for PETs: Nillion deep diveDeep dive on why AI needs data confidentiality and how Nillion's MPC differs from traditional schemes, with non-linear computation, input-independent pre-processing, non-interactive operation and information-theoretic security. Uses the Ritual partnership as a case study.BreakdownAIPrivacy

08 Oct 2024Seven AI plays beyond TAO: io.net, NEAR, Nillion, Ritual, Fhenix, RISC ZeroWatchlist of seven DeAI plays beyond TAO, each with a short thesis: GPU aggregation, user-owned AI, a subnet network, private compute, inference, FHE and ZK compute.BreakdownAIDePIN

14 Sep 2024Nillion private compute comes to NEARExplains Nillion's MPC-based blind compute and its Nada language, and why access for all 750+ NEAR projects fits NEAR's AI focus. Use cases include private AI, healthcare data and sensitive data storage.ExplainerPrivacyAI

11 Sep 2024The case for AI on Aptos: Move, io.net and NillionArgues Aptos is a leading base layer for AI agents thanks to Move's security, parallel execution and low fees, plus partnerships with io.net for GPUs and Nillion for blind compute.ThesisAIL1/L2Privacy
