Nillion Launches Mainnet, Introducing Revolutionary Privacy Infrastructure for Web3
Zurich, Switzerland, March 24th, 2025, Chainwire
Today, Nillion announced the launch of its alpha mainnet, which introduces a new privacy-focused technology. This will enable applications to compute encrypted data without revealing sensitive information, paving the way for a more private and secure internet.
Revolutionizing Privacy-First Computing
Nillion’s Petnet represents a fundamental advancement in privacy-enhancing technologies, combining Multi-Party Computation (MPC) with novel blind computation capabilities. This infrastructure allows developers to build apps that can securely process sensitive data while maintaining complete privacy — enabling applications to compute encrypted data without revealing sensitive information and paving the way for a more private and secure internet. It opens new possibilities for AI, healthcare, blockchain use cases, and financial applications.
Proven Platform Capabilities and Ecosystem Growth
Nillion now supports a growing ecosystem of applications across multiple sectors, such as:
AI and Data Privacy
- Ritual: a decentralized blind AI inference platform ensuring private model execution
- Pindora: cross-platform digital life management with privacy-first design
- Skillful AI: personalized AI ecosystem with secure data handling
- Mighty Network: next-generation OAuth system for secure agent interactions
Healthcare Innovation

Mobility & Real-World Applications
- Soarchain: In partnership with Nillion, Soarchain enabled secure, privacy-preserving data handling in a global driving competition — allowing users to compare scores and participate without compromising personal information. Throughout the competition, Nillion securely processed and protected over 130 million data points, showcasing the power and scalability of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) in real-world applications.
Architectural Innovation
Nillion’s core architecture incorporates several advancements in privacy-preserving computation technologies. At its core, the platform enables blind computation on encrypted data, allowing applications to process sensitive information without exposing the underlying data. This is achieved through advanced multi-party computation protocols that distribute processing across secure nodes, ensuring no single point of failure or compromise.
The platform’s privacy-preserving development framework enables developers to build sophisticated applications that handle sensitive data with unprecedented security. By combining cross-platform data protection with scalable privacy infrastructure, Nillion creates an environment where sensitive information remains protected throughout its entire lifecycle — from storage through computation and analysis.
Future Development
Following the mainnet launch, Nillion aims to continue expanding its privacy infrastructure, focusing on deploying new network products and enhancing its orchestration layer vision. This ongoing development aims to make privacy technology more accessible and implementable across various applications and industries.
About Nillion
Nillion is pioneering the future of privacy technology through its innovative Petnet, a computation network that unifies privacy-enhancing technologies. By enabling secure computation on encrypted data, Nillion empowers developers to build privacy-first applications across AI, healthcare, finance, and beyond.
Unlike traditional systems where large corporations exploit user data without consent, Nillion shifts the power back to individuals. Users control what data they share, how it’s used, and how they benefit from it, marking a fundamental step toward a more equitable, privacy-respecting internet.
