Nillion is a decentralized computation network that enables secure data processing via blind computation, ensuring privacy for AI, DeFi and healthcare while using the NIL token for governance.

Nillion is a decentralized computation network that enables secure data processing without exposing raw information. It’s designed for industries in which privacy is critical, such as AI, DeFi, healthcare and cloud computing. Every year, over 5 billion personal records are exposed due to data breaches, costing businesses an average of $4.45 million per breach. AI models require vast amounts of user data, making privacy concerns a major hurdle.

Nillion solves this problem by using blind computation, a cryptographic method that processes data without decryption, eliminating traditional security risks. This article explores Nillion’s core technology, real-world applications and the NIL token, which powers its ecosystem.

 is a cryptographic method that allows data to be processed without ever being decrypted or exposed. This means that sensitive information — whether personal, financial or business-related — remains private and secure even during computation.

With traditional computation, data must be decrypted before processing, exposing it to potential leaks. In blind computation, data remains encrypted while being processed, ensuring privacy at all times. Thus, there’s no need for trusted intermediaries, eliminating the risk of insider threats, unauthorized access and data breaches.

Nillion uses multi-party computation (MPC), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and trusted execution environments (TEEs) to enable blind computation, making data privacy a reality.

Nillion is a decentralized computation network designed to process sensitive data securely. Unlike cloud-based systems that require data decryption, Nillion allows privacy-preserving computations without revealing raw information.

Nillion (NIL): Computation Network for Private Data

DuckChain (DUCK) is a Layer 2 blockchain integrating AI and cross-chain interoperability, transforming Telegram into a crypto super-app with seamless DeFi access.

 (TON) blockchain in 2024 has focused the crypto industry's attention on the Telegram messaging app and its potential 

 use cases. The Open Network, frequently referred to as TON, became the first major blockchain project to tightly integrate the worlds of crypto and Web 2.0–based social media. And Telegram, with its nearly 1 billion active monthly users and popularity for one-to-one and one-to-many interactions, can be an absolute goldmine for web3 projects.

It was only a matter of time before other blockchain technology projects recognized the messenger's massive potential, and rushed to leverage opportunities. One of the earliest among these projects is DuckChain (DUCK) — a 

 network. DuckChain aims to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, 

 (EVM) compatibility and cross-chain interoperability with a unified gas system, and to close integration with Telegram to become a significant bridge between Web 2.0 and web3 environments.

 (DUCK) is a high-performance, AI-powered Layer 2 chain designed for tight integration with the Telegram social media network.

 It’s based on Arbitrum Orbit technology, a framework for building highly scalable and cost-efficient Layer 2 chains with EVM compatibility. As a Layer 2 platform, DuckChain links to TON’s Layer 1 network while also providing the functionality to integrate assets from the Ethereum and 

DuckChain's Arbitrum Orbit–based foundation supports its platform’s high throughput and low transaction costs. Naturally, the use of the Arbitrum Orbit stack also ensures EVM compatibility. In fact, DuckChain is one of the first, if not the first, web3 solutions within the wider TON ecosystem that features direct compatibility with EVM. As of yet, TON’s underlying blockchain has no built-in compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, making DuckChain a pioneer in bridging these two major blockchain environments.

DuckChain is not only fully EVM-compatible — it’s also connected to Bitcoin, allowing assets from Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystems to be utilized on the platform. Additionally, 

 — social tokens widely used on Telegram for monetization — can be tokenized on DuckChain for further use within its 

 (DApps). In the future, the platform also hopes to implement cross-chain interoperability with 

DuckChain’s network has also integrated several AI-supported functions. These include AI-driven governance, personalized AI assistants for token holders, AI analysts that assist users in navigating the 

 (DeFi) ecosystem and AI-driven cross-chain operations.

The DuckChain team has made AI integration a key focus for its platform. In January 2025, the project’s communications began frequently referring to DuckChain as the “Telegram AI Chain,” highlighting the importance of AI functionality for the platform's future direction and vision. DuckChain — or the Telegram AI Chain, if you will — is building up an impressive network of partner platforms to realize its AI vision. Among the key AI partner platforms are 

 (FLOCK). Each of these partners will support specific functions and use cases for DuckChain’s AI agents.

DuckChain’s Layer 2 network uses the underlying TON blockchain for finalized transaction settlement. Built using Arbitrum Orbit, it enjoys EVM compatibility, high scalability and low transaction costs. The chain’s architecture includes three primary layers — aggregation, execution and data.

DuckChain’s Aggregation Layer is a component of its blockchain’s architecture, serving as a bridge between DuckChain and TON’s Layer 1 network. It’s made up of three elements: 

The Execution Layer is DuckChain's main processing engine, powered by Arbitrum Orbit technology. In addition to transaction processing, this layer is also responsible for keeping DuckChain synchronized with the Telegram environment.

DuckChain's Execution Layer can handle around 5,000 

 (TPS) thanks to Arbitrum Orbit technology, which facilitates the processing of high volumes of transactions in a scalable and cost-efficient way.

The third component of DuckChain’s architecture, the Data Layer, ensures that all transaction data is securely stored and accessible for verification. DuckChain’s platform uses a distributed mode for its data storage. The Data Layer allows Layer 1 validators to access and securely verify transaction data from the DuckChain Layer 2 network.

DuckChain’s close integration with Telegram creates access to on-chain opportunities for the messenger's nearly 1 billion active users. Telegram users can generate a DuckChain account in a streamlined way, without the usual procedures involved in setting up a blockchain network address. Thanks to DuckChain's integration with the core Telegram app, tedious procedures, such as 

Its blockchain also provides a mechanism to deposit Telegram Stars 

social tokens widely used on the messenger to pay for digital goods 

 and convert them into native crypto assets for DeFi purposes, such as gas payments, 

DuckChain also features a unique unified 

. Besides enabling Telegram Stars for gas payments, its system also lets users pay transaction fees on the network using The Open Network's native TON coin and tokens from compatible EVM chains.

TON coin is among the top twenty crypto assets on the market (as of Feb 10, 2025) by market cap, and features high liquidity levels. Gas payments in TON and popular EVM tokens provide the DuckChain network with sufficient levels of liquidity for transactions at all times.

The Layer 2 chain is a unique platform, offering 

 via DuckChain bridges for three large ecosystems 

 Ethereum, Bitcoin and TON. This cross-chain functionality is of particular note for two reasons. First, it creates opportunities for using DApps among holders of BTC, the world's most-capitalized cryptocurrency. And secondly, it provides a common platform for assets from two large ecosystems — TON and Ethereum — that aren’t natively compatible.

DuckChain's AI module supports several features powered by 

, a technology that’s currently experiencing explosive growth, including in the world of web3. One of these features is AI Governance DAO, powered by the Quack AI protocol. It supports members of the platform's governance DAO by assigning them personalized AI agents that assist the DAO members in analyzing proposals, suggesting new ideas and carrying out other governance processes.

In Q1 2025, the DuckChain project aims to introduce personalized AI agents for all holders of the platform's native token, DUCK. In addition to governance power, these agents will provide their owners with services such as blockchain education, guidance on user procedures and financial analytics.

DuckChain also integrates AI agents for cross-chain interoperability processes and the analysis of DeFi opportunities.

The platform’s native cryptocurrency, DUCK, had its token generation event (TGE) in mid-January 2025. DUCK runs on multiple chains — T

— and its utility functions include the following:

DUCK is currently priced at $0.0032 (as of Feb 11, 2025), and has a total and maximum supply of 10 billion. Its current circulation is 5.9 billion. Supply allocation shares are per the chart below.

In January 2025, DuckChain announced its first 

 campaign, with eligibility criteria determined on Jan 7, 2025. The airdrop was designed to reward two groups of early adopters: 

The airdrop allocation criteria included various factors, such as using on-chain Telegram Stars, the number of friends invited to the platform, using testnet 

 (NFTs), staking earnings, accumulating loyalty points and participating in the asset bridging event.

 as a Perpetual contract with USDT. Under the contract, you can trade DUCK with up to 50x leverage.

The DuckChain project is unique in several ways. First, it’s one of the first Layer 2 platforms for The Open Network — often referred to as TON. It also connects the ecosystems of three major blockchain environments — TON, Ethereum and Bitcoin — thus allowing holders of TON, BTC and Ethereum-compatible tokens to utilize them within DuckChain’s DApps. Very few (if any) web3 projects operating in the industry provide this kind of diversified connectivity.

At the same time, the most crucial feature of DuckChain is undoubtedly its integration with Telegram. The use of Telegram Stars within the platform is a unique feature that should act as a major driver for crypto adoption by the messenger's extensive user community. DuckChain isn't the first blockchain project to leverage Telegram, but it does represent the first major web3 initiative to provide easy monetization of Telegram Stars 

 the primary digital currency of the Telegram social network — within the world of 

If you've stocked up on some Telegram Stars, and are thinking of crypto-related opportunities, DuckChain might be an intriguing platform for you to peruse.

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, meme coins have become a topic of intense fascination and debate. Once dismissed as mere novelties, these digital assets have now captured the attention of crypto enthusiasts and investors alike. With the potential for outsized returns and the allure of the "next big thing," meme coins have become a focal point for those seeking to capitalize on the latest trends in the crypto market.

Our Bybit Institutional research provides remarkable insight into the trading behavior and asset allocation of retail and institutional investors regarding unconventional crypto assets. Covering the period from January 1 through May 1, 2024, this comprehensive report offers a unique window into the strategies and preferences of different investor groups navigating the meme coin landscape.

Institutions’ Shift in Mindset Toward Meme Tokens

One of the report's key findings is the growing prominence of meme coins in institutional investors' portfolios. Traditionally, institutions have been viewed as risk-averse and conservative in their investment approaches. However, the data reveals a dramatic shift in this mindset, as institutions significantly increased their meme coin allocations during the period examined.

In fact, institutional meme coin holdings surged 226% from February to March 2024, reaching a peak of $293.7 million in April. This aggressive embrace of meme coins by institutions challenges the notion that these assets are exclusively the domain of retail investors. The report suggests that institutions are willing to take on the inherent risks associated with meme coins, driven by the promise of outsized returns and the 

Retail Investors Are Actually the ‘Smart Money’ Behind Meme Coins

Interestingly, the report also highlights the dynamic nature of retail investor behavior. Contrary to the stereotypical view of retail investors as "dumb money," the data reveals that retail investors on the Bybit platform made strategic adjustments to their portfolios in response to market conditions. Retail meme coin holdings skyrocketed 478% from February to April 2024, only to subside as market sentiment shifted, demonstrating a nuanced approach to investment decision-making.

DOGE Still The Favorite Of Both INS and Retail

The report delves deeper, providing insights into the specific meme coins that have dominated the portfolios of both retail and institutional investors. Dogecoin (DOGE) remained the clear leader, with institutions allocating a larger proportion as compared to retail investors. Other popular meme coins included Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE), with retail investors holding higher allocations than institutions. Notably, the newly prominent BONK meme coin gained significant traction among retail investors, who allocated $136 million to it, while institutions allocated $74.5 million.

In the meme coin market recently we’ve seen increased institutional adoption, retail investor sophistication, diversification of coins, regulatory challenges and persistent volatility. Successful navigation will require advanced 

 as meme coins cement their place in the evolving crypto ecosystem, reshaping investment strategies and challenging traditional assumptions about digital assets.
