New capabilities and use cases for blockchain and the real world
WHITEPAPERNillion is new internet infrastructure for the private storage, computation and decentralization of data. It is a decentralized network (but not a layer 1 or blockchain) that utilizes a novel mathematical innovation called Nil Message Compute (NMC).
NMC represents a revolutionary leap from a predecessor technology known as Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC). Unlike MPC, network nodes do not have to communicate with one another. Unlike blockchain, nodes do not run immutable ledgers designed to store transaction data.
Instead, Nillion’s NMC technology is purpose built for decentralized secure storage and computation, and thus opens up new non-blockchain related use cases, and can also be used to enhance many of the most widely used existing blockchains.
Nil Message Compute (NMC) allows nodes in a decentralized network to compute information in a non-blockchain, secure and verifiable way without having to send messages to one another.
NMC takes arbitrary data, transforms and particalizes it, and then distributes the resulting particles across the network of Nillion nodes. The nodes can store the particles or run computations with the fragments of data and return the results to the desired end-point for reconstruction without sending messages between themselves.
This is a key distinction for NMC — its predecessor technology, Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), typically requires messaging between nodes which significantly slows down computation speeds. NMC removes this throttle allowing for fast, scalable computation at speeds notably faster than traditional MPC.
As the first fully decentralized NMC network, Nillion ushers in a new era of decentralized use cases for web3 and web2.
