How to Stake Nillion’s NIL Token via Keplr

Nillion is a decentralized network that enables secure computation on private data without decryption through an approach called “blind computation,” which ensures greater privacy and security.​

This guide will walk you through all the steps needed to start staking its native token, NIL, with Everstake using Keplr.

What Is Nillion

Nillion Network masks and distributes data across multiple nodes, with each node performing computations without access to the actual contents. The final output is the combination of their results. This process is known as blind computation.
