nillion

The nillion tool is a command line version of the Nillion Client. We refer to the tool as the CLI Client.

The nillion tool can be used to generate user keys, generate node keys, store secrets, retrieve a secret, store a program, compute on a program, get cluster information, check the preprocessing pool status, and display node and user ids from keys.

nillion can be run against the Nillion Network or against a local cluster spun up with nillion-devnet. If nillion is running against your local cluster, use the cluster id, bootnodes, smart contract addresses, chain id, rpc url endpoint values that are local cluster outputs as nillion options.
