What Nillion is

Nillion (NIL) is a Layer-1 blockchain network, currently ranked 305th by market capitalization among the assets we track. As a proof-of-stake Layer-1, Nillion hosts applications, settles their transactions, and lets NIL holders earn yield by helping validate. Capital at stake — not electricity — is what keeps the chain honest.

Nillion (NIL) is a decentralized network designed to enable efficient and scalable computations without sharing or exposing raw data. It aims to enhance privacy and security in various applications while maintaining high performance.

How consensus and the token economy connect

Validators propose and attest to blocks; honest behavior earns rewards, dishonest behavior burns the stake. That feedback loop is what lets Nillion finalize transactions without miners.

Background & fundamentals

In sector terms it is most often filed under Infrastructure and Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20).

Where Nillion sits in the market

At $0.0423, Nillion carries a market capitalization of $19.79M. Around $10.30M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 52.03% of the float — unusually high, the kind of churn that accompanies major news or speculative spikes.

Nillion carries no fixed maximum supply; issuance follows a programmatic schedule rather than a hard cap. NIL remains -96% beneath its all-time high of $0.9510, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close. Measured from its all-time low of $0.00050000, NIL is up +8,360%.

What the price history shows

Recent moves read 24-hour -4.85%, 7-day -35.20%. Within its stored 365-day daily history, NIL mounted a low-to-high run of roughly 195% at its strongest stretch.

Volatility profile

Recent action puts Nillion in the Extreme-volatility band — it is in a high-volatility regime — these are the conditions where outsized gains and losses both become more likely.

How to evaluate Nillion

For an asset of this type, three lenses matter most:

  • Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
  • Staking economics — the share of NIL staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
  • Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Nillion over competing Layer-1s.
