description: >
Nihilium is building the missing primitive for privacy applications:
universal, censorship-resistant key recovery for encrypted-at-rest data. While
encrypted apps like Signal and PGP offer mathematical privacy, they fail
mainstream adoption because losing your key means permanently losing your
data—no "forgot my password" option exists. Nihilium solves this through a
unique protocol that allow users to recover access by proving they meet
predefined conditions (email ownership, biometric proofs, timelocks), without
relying on custodians or requiring complex coordination with friends and
family. The system uses zkp's, homomorphic encryption with two-party
computation combined economic incentives and on-chain enforcement to ensure
recovery cannot be censored or denied, while keeping the burden of proof
entirely on the recovering user. This makes privacy-preserving applications
finally accessible to regular users without sacrificing the sovereignty that
makes encryption meaningful—turning "technically correct but humanly
impossible" privacy tools into practical everyday solutions.
