=nil; Foundation is a leading developer of zero-knowledge infrastructure and Ethereum scalability solutions.

About us

As all shards form integral parts of a singular execution layer, applications on =nil; will benefit from complete composability, free of security compromises or additional zkBridges fees.

Full composability at zero cost

A shard within =nil; operates as an Ethereum full node, granting applications trustless read access to all in-EVM data — all at no charge and without the need for migration.

Transparent in-EVM data access

With full in-EVM data access and unified liquidity, zkSharding enhances Ethereum capabilities, contrasting the fragmented liquidity and siloed environments caused by modular zkRollups.

Breaking modularity’s drawbacks

Scale alone doesn't define our vision, which aims to redefine application experiences, ensuring unparalleled capabilities to truly elevate Ethereum's potential.

Cherries on top of the scale

zkSharding enables a new generation of highly scalable applications by distributing workloads across shards.

Why build on =nil;?

Join our community

Separate decentralized shards compose a single execution layer. The main shard at the top validates transactions across all shards and proves them to Ethereum.

"Tap into the power of hundreds of rollups from a single network."

More than just another zkRollup

Circuits, compiled automatically from C++, adhere to the precise implementation of Ethereum production-used evmone. This enables our zkEVM1 auditability and eliminates human errors in circuits.

zkLLVM-secured zkEVM

From its launch, =nil; will be decentralized to ensure censorship resistance. As the number of nodes involved increases, Ethereum's maximal throughput scales linearly.

Decentralized from day 1

Utilizing Ethereum staking pool’s (e.g. Lido)  and applications’ TVL, we've established robust economic liveness security. This guarantees protocol state liveness and fortifies the safety of the underlying liquidity.

Secured by restaking

With great scale comes great responsibility, and =nil; offers an unparalleled security setup, ensuring safety remains at the forefront to match this commitment.
