Soarchain has partnered with Nillion to transform mobility by embedding secure data privacy into everyday transportation. This collaboration brings together Soarchain’s devices for leveraging driving data with Nillion’s Blind Computation abilities, ensuring sensitive information is managed securely and privately. The partnership represents a significant step forward in using Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to unlock the value of data without compromising individual privacy.
Through this partnership, Soarchain plans to kick off a unique competition starting on January 30th, inviting participants to learn more about their country’s driving habits. Drivers will be grouped by country, competing based on weekly metrics like braking, acceleration, cornering and so on. While individual data remains fully private, aggregate scores will be made public to foster a sense of competition between nations. The competition not only promotes safer driving but also demonstrates how data can be leveraged responsibly to create engaging, real-world applications. Below will be a detailed description of the competition, leaderboard and reward breakdown, and an overview of the technical integration of this partnership and competition.
Competition
The Soarchain competition is a great way to engage both communities and showcase what is possible with PETs and the insights of the latent data the users are sitting on. Users will be tracked using a different metric each week. Below is the details about how to participate and breakdown for each week:
How to Participate
To join the competition as a new user in the Soarchain ecosystem, simply set up a Soarchain Mini on your vehicle. The device will securely collect relevant data for the competition, ensuring all personal information is protected through advanced Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs). If you already have a Soarchain Mini, there’s nothing more to do, just keep driving to automatically participate and represent your country!
Week 1: Most Fuel-Efficient Driver 🛢️🔋
We will kick things off with the cornerstone of eco-conscious driving—fuel efficiency! This competition is all about minimizing your fuel usage. Think of it as a dance with your accelerator pedal—gentle, precise, and efficient.
It’s not just about saving money at the pump. It’s about driving smarter, reducing emissions, and setting the standard for sustainable mobility. Show the world that you can get the most out of every drop–all without ever leaking your data to the public.
Week 2: Smoothest Cornering 🌀
How do you handle life’s twists and turns? This week is all about mastering cornering like a pro. Soarchain are looking for drivers who glide through curves with finesse, avoiding sharp jerks or abrupt movements.
Smooth cornering doesn’t just look cool; it’s a testament to your understanding of vehicle dynamics and safety. You’ll feel like a racecar driver—without the racecar—nailing every turn with precision and grace.
Week 3: Least Idling Time 🕒
Do you find yourself sitting in idle for too long? This week is your chance to shine by keeping idle time to a minimum. Efficient driving doesn’t stop when the car isn’t moving—it’s a lifestyle.
Reducing idle time saves fuel, lowers emissions, and keeps you moving toward your destination. Plus, it’s a great reminder that every second of driving can contribute to a greener planet.
Week 4: Best Braking Efficiency 🛑
This week, we celebrate the art of braking! Forget harsh stops—this is all about smooth deceleration that balances efficiency and safety. Steady, controlled braking shows your mastery of the road and your care for your passengers.
Braking is an art form, and this challenge highlights how important it is to get it right. You'll discover how smooth stops and steady
speed adjustments make every journey safer and more enjoyable.
Week 5: Most Active Driver 🚗💨
It’s time to hit the road and log those miles! This week rewards the most adventurous and active drivers, tallying up distance driven to crown the champion.
Whether it’s road trips, errands, or leisurely drives, this competition celebrates your love for being behind the wheel. It’s your chance to explore new places and rediscover your passion for the open road.
Week 6: Most Eco-Friendly Driver 🌍🌱
Soarchain is ending on a high note with a competition that combines everything they have learned so far. This challenge focuses on reducing emissions and driving with maximum efficiency. It’s the ultimate test of your eco-driving skills.
This is more than a competition—it’s a commitment to the environment. By balancing fuel efficiency, minimal emissions, and optimal driving practices, you’ll lead the charge toward a cleaner, greener future.

Technical Integration
Soarchain leverages Nillion's NilDB product to securely manage, store, and retrieve data across a decentralized network. At the core of this solution is secret sharing, a process that splits sensitive data into fragments and distributes them across a cluster of nodes to ensure both privacy and security. By using the NilQL library, Soarchain encrypts its data, making it accessible only when the data is securely reconstructed. Each NilDB node operates with a MongoDB instance, providing the backbone for storing these data shares, while the schemas created during self registration ensure the data adheres to pre-defined structures and validation rules.
For retrieval and decryption, Soarchain relies on NilDB’s REST API endpoints. These endpoints allow for data queries ranging from simple reads to complex, schema-driven instructions. With the retrieved data shares, the NilQL library enables Soarchain to decrypt and reconstruct the original data seamlessly. This ensures data integrity, privacy, and ease of use, empowering Soarchain to handle sensitive information while meeting advanced security requirements. Through this integration, Soarchain is able to build a decentralized, scalable data management framework that aligns with its commitment to innovation and security.This partnership shows how PETs can be used in real-world ways that keep data private while still being useful. It’s a great example of how technology can protect privacy and still create exciting opportunities.
