Nillion is establishing foundational infrastructure for privacy-preserving computation through
the launch of its alpha mainnet and the introduction of the NIL token. The March 2025 mainnet
activation marked a critical milestone in transitioning from testnet to real-world deployment,
enabling developers to build and scale privacy-first applications. Nillion’s architectural model is
rooted in the idea of an “Internet for Intelligence,” a reimagined internet where encrypted data
can be computed on without ever being exposed. This vision addresses structural limitations in
today’s digital infrastructure by embedding privacy, data sovereignty, and user control into the
computational layer itself.
