As the craze for on-chain AI Agents sweeps the crypto market, the privacy-preserving computing network Nillion is also about to launch its mainnet. Last night, the official announcement was made that users can access the $NIL airdrop qualification query tool and register before 1:00 am, February 4, Hong Kong time. After the mainnet is launched, participants’ NIL tokens will be deposited into the claim wallet.
Since its establishment in 2021, Nillion has benefited from its unique concept of "blind computing" network, which has made the popularity of the AI sector not only stay in the Meme narrative, but also go one step further in the direction of AI democratization.
