About Nil Foundation

Nil Foundation builds =nil;, an Ethereum layer-2 network powered by a technique it calls zkSharding. The design splits activity across shards that run transactions in parallel while keeping one unified global state.

What Nil Foundation does

  • zkSharding network: combines the scaling of separate application chains with the composability of a single chain.
  • Parallel transactions: shards execute in parallel, which the project says reduces congestion.
  • Layered verification: a three-tier approach to security using zero-knowledge proofs.
  • Developer tools: a command-line tool, RPC node, testnet and an online sandbox with examples.
  • Earlier database work: the project began as a database system that adds traditional database features to blockchains.

Who it serves

Developers building applications on Ethereum who need to scale beyond a single chain.

Key facts

  • Network stages: devnet, testnet and mainnet alpha, with mainnet listed for 2025
  • Built on: Ethereum
