Amazing panel, very insightful. Can't wait for Nillion.

Can you please release a drop date 😩

Fantastic talk, Nillion is the next huge breakthrough in the world of crypto. The NIL token got 10-200x potential in my opinion, depending on starting mcap and tokenomics. So many incredible and significant use cases such as completely unhackable storage of sensitive data such as social security records and birth information, passwords, sensitive documents, retirement and investment information and offering various data transfer, storage, and processing services to businesses and other public blockchains. In short, it has the potential to really disrupt the entire encryption industry.

Feels like the token is never gonna drop

[@bradebronson8835]

How does Nillion solve the trilema... and how will it compete with the likes of projects such as Kaspa that already solves the trilema? Plus.. halving coming very soon so i hope they don't drop during the peak bull run. Need some sort of road map for release date.
