Imperator joins Nillion's $23M funding round

We are excited to share that Imperator has participated in Nillion's $23 million fundraising round, which has brought their total funding to over $50 million.

What is Nillion?

Nillion is pioneering a new era of data privacy with the development of the first-ever Blind Computer, a transformative technology designed to create a privacy layer for the internet.

This innovation addresses the increasing need for secure data processing, especially as artificial intelligence becomes a more integral part of our lives. Currently, individuals face a tough choice: keep their data private or leverage AI capabilities. Nillion bridges this gap, allowing users to benefit from AI without compromising data privacy.

The core of Nillion's technology, known as Nillion's Blind Computation (NBC), allows sensitive data to be processed without ever being exposed. Unlike traditional methods, NBC ensures that data remains encrypted throughout the entire computation process, allowing computations to take place while safeguarding privacy.

This groundbreaking approach not only keeps data secure but also puts users in control, enabling:

• Encrypted data processing, maintaining privacy at every stage

• Full user control over personal information

• Computations performed without exposing any underlying data.

This advancement opens up new horizons for blockchain and crypto adoption by making private data compatible with decentralized systems.

Nillion's technology paves the way for:

• Privacy-preserving AI, allowing AI services to be used while maintaining data confidentiality.

• Secure data marketplaces, where data can be exchanged without compromising privacy.

• Private DeFi applications, providing financial services with enhanced privacy protections.
