Editor's Note: On March 20, Binance announced the launch of the 65th project on Binance Launchpool - Nillion (NIL). This project aims to utilize secure data processing and storage through secure computation in a decentralized network, while ensuring privacy protection. Nillion revealed the NIL tokenomics, with a total token supply of 1 billion NIL tokens and a maximum token supply limit of infinite (with an annual inflation rate of 1% based on release types and governance), and an initial circulating supply of 195.15 million tokens (19.52% of the total token supply).

Amidst the trend of on-chain AI Agents sweeping the crypto market, the privacy-preserving computation network Nillion is also gearing up for its mainnet launch. Last night, the official team announced that users can access the $NIL airdrop eligibility checker tool and register before 1:00 AM on February 4th, Hong Kong Time. After the mainnet launch, participants' NIL tokens will be deposited into their claiming wallets.

Since its establishment in 2021, Nillion has benefited from its unique concept of a "secure computation" network, allowing the frenzy in the AI sector to not only linger in meme narratives but also move further towards the democratization of AI.
