nOS [ICO / Presale Profile] (NEO Project)

nOS is a virtual operating system for the decentralized internet powered by NEO. On this decentralized internet, the project aims to have transparent apps where users data is safe.

The project was announced at the NEO Amsterdam Event on April 14, 2018.

Universal Smart Contract
- Single smart contract hosted on NEO
- Contains popular functions, logic, storage functions
- Can be called on by any nOS and NEO application

Decentralized Authority (see Token Utilities below)

TOKEN UTILITIES

Token utilities according to founder Dean van Dugteren can be broken down into:

1. Application Hosting: Developers on projects can stake tokens to register domains, get hosted, listed, rated.

2. Decentralized Authority: End users can stake tokens to gain authority, vote on applications, get rewarded for truthful voting through airdrops

Additionally, applications can earn via reputation. In turn high reputation will then lead to higher discoverability in the app store and users also are protected from low reputation applications.

ADDITIONAL INFO

MVP Client is now available on GitHub and developers can build apps on their own NEO Privatenet.
