Hidden Forces Podcast’s Demetri Kofinas interviews Nillion’s leadership team at a private event attended by hundreds of technology enthusiasts in Glasshouse Studios, New York, in association with UPenn Blockchain.

Nillion’s CEO, Chief Scientist and Chief Strategy Officer explain how its new groundbreaking technology, Nil Message Compute (NMC), enables fast, private and secure computation of data based on a mathematical breakthrough, and fundamentally changes the way data is stored, processed and decentralized. The panelists also talk about the vast potential use cases of NMC and its implications for web3 and web2, and discuss how Nillion’s new technology functions as an infrastructure layer for key founders and entrepreneurs to build on and create an ecosystem of user-focused products.
