Multiple technology companies have joined Nillion's newly launched Enterprise Cluster program, which aims to extend decentralized applications beyond cryptocurrency, covering privacy-focused use cases such as healthcare, financial management, and enterprise data sharing.
As part of the collaboration, Deutsche Telekom, Alibaba Cloud, Bahrain STC, and Vodafone's Pairpoint are operating infrastructure nodes on Nillion's decentralized computing platform, the company announced on Thursday.
The Enterprise Cluster enables organizations to run privacy-critical applications on decentralized infrastructure, helping to mitigate the trade-offs between the risks of centralized systems and the privacy limitations of blockchain-based solutions.
Miguel de Vega, co-founder and chief scientist of Nillion, stated in an interview with Cointelegraph: "For the first time, organizations can compute encrypted data on a decentralized cluster without sacrificing privacy. This proves that privacy-first computing has become an enterprise-ready infrastructure."
Nillion is a decentralized network focused on secure data storage and computation. Its core technology, "Blind Computation," allows encrypted data to be processed without decryption.
According to previous reports by Cointelegraph, Nillion raised $25 million in October, bringing its total funding to $50 million.
Prior to this funding, Nillion's technology had been integrated with the Aptos network to support privacy-focused applications.
Nillion's technology aims to address what it describes as a "long-standing dilemma"—the inherent privacy limitations of blockchain systems.
These limitations are expected to face greater scrutiny by 2025, as global cryptocurrency regulations increasingly target privacy tools, including mixers, zero-knowledge proofs, stealth addresses, and self-custody wallets.
As Cointelegraph pointed out, the debate over blockchain privacy is far from resolved. Emerging technologies continue to challenge the notion that anonymity should automatically be viewed as a criminal threat.
Traditionally, protecting sensitive data on the blockchain relies on keeping it entirely off-chain or encrypting it on-chain. However, as Midnight CEO Eran Barak warned, given the rapid advancement of quantum computing, on-chain encryption does not "provide lasting privacy."
Despite the public debate, some privacy-focused projects continue to gain attention, particularly in the fields of zero-knowledge proofs and decentralized identity.
