Protocol Village: Validation Cloud Supports Stellar Full Archive Nodes, Nillion Partners With AI Network Ritual

Nillion, Ritual Team Up to Develop ‘Decentralized Blink AI Inference Technology’

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the tech industry, I’ve witnessed the evolution of AI and blockchain from a distance, much like a gardener observes his plants grow. Today, I find myself intrigued by the union of Nillion and Ritual, two innovative players in their respective fields.

“Nillion, a network specializing in blind computations for the visually impaired, has joined forces with Ritual, a decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The goal of this partnership is to create decentralized AI technology that can be used by everyone. This collaboration allows traditional and Web3 applications to securely process sensitive data using Ritual’s network, while ensuring privacy through Nillion’s blind computation technology during the entire process. This partnership also makes it possible to share AI models safely, and it could lead to advancements in areas like healthcare, IoT, chatbot systems, and more.”
