According to Foresight News, privacy-focused computing network Nillion has announced its integration with NEAR, introducing blind computing and blind storage to the protocol. By combining Nillion's blind computing capabilities with NEAR's transaction processing, the collaboration aims to support modular data privacy, private data management, and private AI.

Nillion is a 'blind computing' platform that leverages technologies such as multi-party computation and fully homomorphic encryption to achieve decentralized storage and computation of sensitive data. This integration is expected to enhance the privacy and security of data management and artificial intelligence applications within the NEAR ecosystem.
