RapidNode is thrilled to announce support for running a **NuLink Worker Node** with just a single click!

[NuLink](https://www.nulink.org/) is a privacy-preserving technology for decentralized applications. It combines top security solutions to provide enterprise-level security with data privacy. NuLink's platform offers endpoint encryption, cryptographic access control, and secure sharing of sensitive user data across platforms like cloud and decentralized storage. Access is granted automatically via Proxy Re-Encryption or Attribute-Based Encryption. Data source verification is enabled through Zero-Knowledge Proof.

For advanced privacy use cases, NuLink utilizes Fully Homomorphic Encryption for customized data computation services while maintaining data confidentiality.

The project secured $11.3 million in funding led by DWF Labs, Poolz, and ViaBTC, with participation from several other investors.

So lets get right into How can you become a part of the NuLink network:

### **Step 1 - Prepare with Rapid Nodes by Creating an Account:**
