If it's under NDA then don't talk specifics, but during the interview you can talk about difficulties you overcame or lessons you learned during the process. The key is to show that you are equipped to solve their problems.

If they're pushing for you to break NDA, then you probably don't want to work there anyway.

Having been on both ends of the hiring process (in tech):

1. You don't have to be 100% qualified. Just show me that the skills you have are transferrable.

2. Tailor your CV & cover letter to the vacancy and company. List at least one work/life/volunteering experience (preferably a project with end results) that is linked to each of the requirements.

3. Keep it short and to the point. A quick glance and relevant keywords should jump out and pique my interest.

4. If you go "but..." to any of the 3 points above, you're probably wasting everyone's time.

Question everything. Not just the obvious things like "how does crypto work", but also mundane things you encounter in everyday life: Why did they react that way? Could I have handled that better? Why was ___ placed in that location? Why isn't there a ___ here? Why is ___ more expensive than ___? What are they trying to achieve with ___? Why do I want ___? Etc.

Dischidia aka String of Nickels/Button Orchids are great if you don't have a green thumb. Mine have outlived even my Tilandsia (both of these are hardy soil-less plants)
