Question 1

What are Nosana and NOS?

Accepted Answer

Nosana is a GPU compute marketplace for AI inference: customers with computing needs post workloads, and hosts with GPUs provide compute. NOS is the network's native token, serving uses such as task payments, host compensation, network incentives, and the staking security described by official materials. Therefore, NOS is not evidence of ownership of a particular GPU. Its role in the network depends on whether users post tasks, whether hosts complete workloads, and the applicable network rules.

Question 2

Which chain is NOS on?

Accepted Answer

NOS is an SPL fungible token on the Solana blockchain. SPL is Solana's token standard; receiving, transferring, or adding this asset in a wallet requires using the Solana network and verifying the official token address. The NOS address listed in the official documentation is nosXBVoaCTtYdLvKY6Csb4AC8JCdQKKAaWYtx2ZMoo7. The same name or ticker does not establish that assets are the same; both the address and network should match.

Question 3

What is NOS used for in the network?

Accepted Answer

Customers can use NOS to pay when posting compute tasks; GPU hosts receive compensation after completing the corresponding workloads. Payment connects the demand side's computing expenditure with the supply side's compute income, so NOS forms part of task settlement in this process. Whether a task is posted, which host executes it, and the final compensation still depend on the network's task matching and execution results. Holding NOS itself does not mean automatically receiving node income.

Question 4

What is the purpose of staking NOS?

Accepted Answer

Official materials list NOS staking as part of the network security mechanism and state that stakers can receive NOS rewards. Under this design, users first participate in staking according to the rules applicable at the time, and the network then settles potential rewards under that mechanism; this differs from merely keeping tokens in a wallet. The official public page does not specify here all lock-up periods, eligibility requirements, reward calculations, or currently available entry points. Therefore, "can receive rewards" must not be understood as a fixed yield rate or as returns automatically received by all holders.

Question 5

Can holding NOS enable participation in governance?

Accepted Answer

NOS is officially positioned as a token supporting the network's governance direction: holders have a designed goal of participating in votes on network changes and improvements. Governance allows token holders to express views on the network's evolution, rather than making the token equivalent to company equity. Which matters are open for voting, voting eligibility, and implementation methods are subject to the governance rules in effect at the time. When official materials describe related functions as future participation directions, they should not be presented as all governance functions already being available.

Question 6

What is the total supply of NOS?

Accepted Answer

NOS has a total supply of 100 million tokens and 6 decimal places. Total supply is the upper limit on token quantity and answers how many NOS the protocol defines, rather than how many can be bought or sold on the market at a given time. Actual circulating supply is affected by the initial allocation and release schedules of the various pools; therefore, the 100 million total supply cannot be used directly to infer current circulating supply or market-tradable supply.

Question 7

How was NOS initially allocated?

Accepted Answer

NOS's initial issuance arrangement includes seven pools: public sale, airdrop, mining, team, liquidity, company, and supporters. They first define the allocation of total supply, then affect when tokens may enter circulation according to their respective release arrangements. Official documentation states that the mining pool accounts for 20% of the total, the team accounts for 20%, and the company accounts for 25%. Different pools have different schedules, so allocation percentages cannot be directly treated as circulating percentages.

Question 8

What is the NOS mining pool?

Accepted Answer

The NOS mining pool is an incentive allocation reserved for nodes that execute Nosana AI workloads, capped at 20 million tokens, or 20% of total supply. Its purpose is not to distribute tokens broadly to all holders, but to connect part of supply with actually providing compute and completing tasks. Therefore, whether a node receives this incentive depends on its participation in and completion of network workloads; the existence of this pool also does not mean all 20 million tokens will circulate at the same time.
