Nillion flagged impersonator accounts on social media that are sharing fake voting and rewards links. The team urged users not to connect wallets or sign anything from unofficial sources and to rely only on verified Nillion channels for information and updates.
Blacklight node operators began migrating from Nillion L2 to Ethereum L1 on September 26, ahead of the Blacklight L1 mainnet going live on October 5. Dusk brings Covenants to Ethereum mainnet with condition-gated events, permissionless nodes, and developer tooling, following Dusk's August rollout on Sepolia and its code-complete milestone.
What changes on L1:
Nillion is executing its Encrypted Markets roadmap across seven phases that build toward privately settled onchain trading. The first phase, Dusk (Aug–Nov 2026), brings Covenants to Ethereum L1 with the first app already live, condition-gated events, permissionless nodes, tokenomics, a node kit, and an SDK.
Phase two, Darkfall (Nov 2026–Feb 2027), expands Covenants further. The roadmap follows Dusk's launch on Sepolia and the first Covenants-powered app going live on testnet, with NIL also recently debuting on Hyperliquid and Upbit alongside a new website. Founder John Alan Woods laid out the full seven-phase plan as part of the August recap.
Nillion issued a warning after spotting multiple fake tokens impersonating its Ethereum contract address 0x7Cf9a80db3B29eE8efE3710AadB7b95270572d47. The team confirmed that this is the only legitimate contract and urged users to verify addresses before trading.

The $NIL token is now listed on Upbit, one of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. Nillion shared a reminder that NIL trading is live on the platform following the listing.
Nillion has launched $NIL on Hyperliquid, connecting it to one of crypto's most active trading ecosystems, and integrated with Chainlink CCIP to securely bring the token there. Nillion describes the move as another step toward making NIL accessible across the onchain economy and enabling transfers across networks.
Nillion's $NIL token is now live for spot trading on HyperliquidX, the derivatives and trading-focused blockchain. The listing marks another venue where NIL is accessible alongside its existing ecosystem.
Nillion launched its alpha mainnet and the NIL token generation event, making the network live with capabilities for privacy-preserving blind computation and storage. The NIL token began trading on exchanges the same day.
Nillion raised $25 million in a funding round led by Hack VC, with participation from Arbitrum, Worldcoin, Sei, and other venture firms and angel investors. This brought Nillion's total funding to over $50 million to expand its decentralized 'blind computing' network.
Nillion closed an oversubscribed seed round of more than $20 million, led by Distributed Global, with participation from Big Brain Holdings, Chapter One, Hashkey, and over 150 other investors, to build a non-blockchain decentralized network for private data storage and computation.
