Technical Overview
How It Works
Nihilium uses a staking-based public node system to enforce publication of intent before accessing encrypted information.
This creates a trustless environment where custodians can't secretly access your data without your knowledge.
Blockchain Agnostic
The protocol works on-chain, however, the exposed features are available anywhere.
Scalable
Transaction requirements remain constant regardless of usage volume.
