Blind Modules

Blind Modules are the core technology Nillion is building. As a developer or end user of Nillion's technology, you will mainly interact with the SecretSDKs, which are all built on top of our Blind Modules: nilDB and nilAI.

nilDB

nilDB is Nillion's secure database solution, enabling data to be stored in an encrypted (via symmetric cryptography or HE) and/or decentralized (via MPC) way. Data is stored on a cluster of network nodes (with the current cluster consisting of three nodes).

nilDB is the Blind Module that underpins Nillion's Private Storage solutions. When using nilDB, data is accessed via an easy-to-use RESTful API with endpoints to create/upload, retrieve, and query data. Developers can use the blindfold library to encrypt and/or secret share data on the client side before using the RESTful API to send the ciphertexts and/or secret shares to the nodes.

nilAI

nilAI is Nillion's secure AI offering, which runs LLMs securely inside TEEs. nilAI is the Blind Module that underpins Nillion's Private LLMs solution.

Like SecretVault and SecretDataAnalytics, this SDK can be accessed via an easy-to-use RESTful API that allows users to run inference using supported models.
