Nillion strategically partners with Stc Bahrain, a telecommunications giant, to drive data privacy innovation through blind computing technology.

Nillion announces strategic collaboration with stc Bahrain, a telecommunications giant in Bahrain, to become a partner of the Pearling Path project, and jointly promote the application of Blind Computation (Blind Computation) technology. This collaboration will leverage secure computation and decentralized data technology to enhance data privacy protection and promote the global implementation of Privacy-Enhancing Technology (PET).

Blind computation: revolutionary technology that balances privacy and data analysis

The core technology of this collaboration - Blind Computation, is part of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs), aiming to ensure that data privacy is not compromised, while still being able to perform computation and analysis. This technology allows enterprises to obtain valuable information without exposing sensitive data, providing innovative solutions for balancing privacy protection and data utilization.

In the first phase of cooperation, STC Bahrain will operate a node on Nillion's PETnet network. PETnet is a decentralized private storage and computing platform that employs technologies such as multi-party computation (MPC) to ensure quantum-level secure storage and encrypted processing of data. STC Bahrain will also be the first telecommunications company to participate in the operation of PETnet nodes, providing computing power and security for the network.

Nillion expands into the Middle East market and develops application scenarios

This collaboration is not limited to the Bahrain market. STC Bahrain plans to leverage Nillion's blind computing network to develop scalable business applications and expand the technology globally through its Wholesale Division. This is highly aligned with Bahrain Vision 2030's economic development plan for technological innovation goals.

STC Bahrain's Director of Wholesale Business, Saad Odeh, stated: 'We are delighted to welcome Nillion as a partner for the Pearling Path within the Web3 Launchpad project. Nillion's privacy-enhancing technology and decentralized data solutions align perfectly with our vision for a secure, scalable, and interconnected digital future.'

Bahrain Data Embassy Bill: A New Paradigm of Data Sovereignty

Bahrain has long been committed to promoting data privacy and sovereignty, and its 'Data Embassy' bill is a pioneering initiative in global data management. Introduced in 2018, the bill allows foreign companies to store data in Bahrain's data centers while still complying with their own data protection laws. This regulation has made Bahrain a key hub for global data storage and protection, attracting many tech companies to establish a presence.

Through this legislation, Nillion and stc Bahrain will provide businesses and individuals with a more secure data storage solution, ensuring that data privacy not only complies with local regulations but also meets international standards.

Nillion CEO Alex Page said: 'Our collaboration with STC Bahrain allows us to leverage its global telecommunications network to showcase the potential of secure computation to a wider audience. By combining Nillion's secure computation technology, STC Bahrain's robust telecom infrastructure, and Bahrain's Data Embassy initiative, we are setting a new standard for global data management and privacy protection.'

STC Bahrain: The leader of Bahrain's digital economy

As one of the most innovative telecom companies in Bahrain, stc Bahrain is part of the stc Group and has been driving the transformation of the local telecommunications industry since entering the market in 2010. The company actively invests in areas such as 5.5G, blockchain, cloud computing, network security, and mobile payments, and has launched the world's first Web3 Launchpad program to accelerate the development of blockchain technology.

In addition, stc Bahrain launched stc pay in 2018. This digital wallet has been authorized by the Central Bank of Bahrain to contribute to the promotion of a cashless society in Bahrain.

stc Bahrain has also been consistently ranked among the top in the quality reports of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) in Bahrain, demonstrating its excellent network coverage and high-quality services. As a key driver of Bahrain's digital economy, stc Bahrain continues to drive regional and global market development through innovative technologies.

Nillion: Building the world's first blind computing network

Nillion is the world's first decentralized network based on Blind Computation technology, which combines Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to perform calculations on sensitive data without decryption. Nillion believes that Blind Computation will become the foundational layer of privacy data on the Internet and has attracted innovators from fields such as AI, DeFi, medical data, digital identity, cryptocurrency wallets, and communications to join its ecosystem.

Promote the future of global data privacy and secure computing

The collaboration between Nillion and STC Bahrain represents a significant advancement of blind computing technology in the global market. Through the PETnet network, the Bahrain Data Embassy initiative, and STC Bahrain's telecommunications infrastructure, this collaboration will drive the application of privacy computing, data sovereignty, and decentralized technologies.
