Today, most user data sits behind APIs. Whether its storage is delegated to an external entity (e.g., a social network), it's stored directly on a blockchain, or it remains on the user's device (e.g., browser history), third-party apps and services request access to that data via an API. But most often, users are not compensated directly for granting such access. This is the case even when the API itself may charge the third-party app for such access! Furthermore, once API access is granted, data is retrieved in its plaintext form. The extent to which that plaintext data is exposed is often at the discretion of the third party.

At Nillion, we're best known for building advanced privacy-preserving infrastructure. However, there's another essential, though often overlooked, concept that we are enabling - trust. One could argue this is the root concept of all, what can I trust, and why can I trust it?

In this article, we explain what motivated us to build Tickr, and how we applied Nillion's technology, nilDB (secure database) and nilCC (confidential computing), to solve very specific, but distinct, problems for traders and their communities on centralised exchanges (CEXs) and decentralised exchanges (DEXs).
