Nillion Network

Nillion's dual network architecture diagram

Dual Network Architecture

The Nillion Network has a Dual Network Architecture: the Coordination Layer and the Petnet.

NilChain is the Coordination Layer for the Nillion Network. It coordinates payments for blind computations and storage operations performed on the network.

The Petnet harnesses privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) including Nillion's MPC Protocol to secure distributed secrets and perform blind computation. It operates without a global shared state or consensus on order, focusing instead on decentralizing trust for high value data across the network using clusters of nodes.

Testnet

Nillion Testnet (Coordination Layer)

The Nillion Testnet is live! Follow our Testnet Guides to create a wallet connected to the Nillion Testnet, use the Nillion Testnet Faucet, and send Testnet NIL tokens.

🔜 Petnet Testnet

The Petnet Testnet is in private beta. Today builders can use the Nillion SDK to connect their blind applications to a local nillion-devnet. Upon Petnet Testnet integration with the Coordination Layer in Phase 2 of Nillion Network deployment, builders will be able to connect their blind applications to the Nillion Network Testnet, making them accessible to the whole community.
