About the company and the project: 
The project is a decentralized public network based on a novel cryptographic primitive we call Nil Message Compute (NMC). NMC allows for arbitrary computation constructions to be built on top of a proprietary decentralized data store in an efficient manner with no node-to-node communication during the computation step, which allows for the creation of a new type of decentralized network that greatly expands the possibilities of decentralized computing.
