The NOS Universal Smart Contract (USC) is generally applicable and offers dApp back-end functions such as CRUD and Authentication. Users can stake nOS tokens to gain voting power on the nOS platform. High-quality applications get rewarded and become more discoverable, while users are protected from low reputation applications.

Developers who are contributing to nOS, or are building apps on nOS will receive priorities in the whitelisting process.

Websites and apps host their content in an open and decentralized manner using NOS NEO Smart Contracts, giving users insight into what happens with their data. When using multiple dApps, users never have to work with different tokens. End-users only use NEO's utility token GAS, and nOS automatically converts it to the proper amount of tokens required for a specific transaction or invocation.

The official nOS ticker is “NOSN” and trades under that name on all the exchanges where it has been listed. The designation “NOS” is for CryptoCompare.com only.
