Nillion to Retire Its L2 as Operations Move to Ethereum Mainnet
Nillion says its L2 retirement is a planned migration, with NIL holders asked to bridge to Ethereum and no exact shutdown date announced.
Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform designed to support smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) alongside its native cryptocurrency, Ether (ETH). Unlike Bitcoin, which focuses primarily on peer-to-peer payments, Ethereum enables developers to build programmable financial products, digital marketplaces, and autonomous systems directly on the blockchain. Its flexible architecture has made it the foundation for major crypto sectors, including DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 applications. Ethereum continues to evolve through network upgrades aimed at improving scalability, security, and energy efficiency. As a result, it plays a central role in shaping how blockchain technology is used beyond simple value transfer.
