Nillion 2.0 Goes Live on Ethereum, Ushering in Community-Run Privacy Computing
The post Nillion 2.0 Goes Live on Ethereum, Ushering in Community-Run Privacy Computing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Nillion is now officially migrated to Ethereum, which represents one of the key milestones in the development of its privacy-preserving network. The transition means that Nillion is replacing an Ethereum Layer 2 architecture with a Cosmos-based Layer 1, where its flagship product, the Blind Computer, is executed in a more dispersed, permissionless, and community-run setting. Nillion is now on Ethereum.$NIL holders can begin migrating their token from Cosmos to Nillion’s L2 to participate.

At present, the migration of tokens to the Ethereum L2 of Nillion is available to the holders of the NIL, which is a mandatory procedure relevant to engage the latter in further staking, verification, and operating a node. Why Nillion Chose Ethereum The involvement of Ethereum as the coordination layer of the open crypto economy was central to the decision taken by Nillion. The network is well known as the settlement and governance layer, where the complex decentralized systems are constructed, assembled and managed in an open way. The characteristic innovation of Ethereum was not decentralization, but programmability. Ethereum allowed the introduction of completely new financial and computational primitives by inverting the entire logic into software. Nillion builds based on this foundation to make programmability expand to the domain of privately performed computation, where the machines can organize themselves publicly without revealing sensitive inputs or business-topics logic. The Blind Computer Enters the Ethereum Ecosystem The Blind Computer is an information-sensing compute and storage system designed by the platform to allow the use of data and calculate without disclosing the information used behind the scenes. In the ecosystem, there are already over 111,000…
