nilchain is the Coordination Layer for the Nillion Network. It coordinates the payment of blind computations and storage operations performed on the network. It is built using the Cosmos SDK, a framework for building PoS blockchain applications, which was chosen for the interconnectivity, speed and sovereignty its ecosystem provides.
