nOS (https://nos.io/) – the Virtual Operating System for a new, transparent internet powered by the NEO Smart Economy.
1. The project's economic model:
- Currency: NEO;
- Total supply of tokens: 450 000 000;
- Amount of tokens available for contributors: 157 500 000 – public sale, 67 500 000 – private sale, 22 500 000 – allocated to angel investor NGC;
- ICO hard cap: $22 900 000;
- Terms of the token sale: 55% of the total supply will be sold; private sale contributors and angel investor are subject to 20% bonus; public sale will be conducted in 3 tiers: Tier 1 – 90000 tokens, Tier 2 – 45000 tokens, Tier 3 – 25000 tokens.
- Token price: $0.10;
- Token allocations:
2. Lock-up periods: private sale and angel investor's tokens will be vested on the following terms: 25% - immediately, and 25% a month throughout 3 months. Locked Token Incentive & Reserve tokens will be vested for 2 years.
3. Token release: public sale tokens will be unlocked immediately. Additionally Company Token Reserve and Ecosystem Adoption Reserve tokens will be unlocked at the same time, which we consider as a red flag.
4. Activity in the social networks (data captured on 30.08.2018):
Telegram EN (https://t.me/nOSplatform) – 36040 users;
Twitter (https://twitter.com/nosplatform) – 12300 subscribers, 114 tweets.
5. Investors and partners:
NGC fund is mentioned among the investors (http://ngc.fund/) – we think that it doesn't need any introduction.
Along with NGC there's ICO Moonlight (https://moonlight.io/) – a project that is also a part of NEO ecosystem. Crowdsale has started a couple of weeks ago and so far it hasn't got even a half of a rather low cap.
It's worth mentioning that such a partnership might negatively influence the future development of this project.
6. Roadmap:
7. The token: nOS - Utility. Purpose: establishes fundamental base for platform's key features.
8. Limitations for contributors: Countries that are restricted from participating in the nOS Token Generation Event include United States of America, China, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), and any countries where participating in Virtual Token Generating Events is strictly forbidden.
9. WhiteList/KYC – ТВА
10. Blockchain: NO.
11. Patents: NO.
12. MVP: nOS MVP Developer and Consumer Clients are available for download and development; my.nos.app is available for download and is in active development stage.
Similar projects:
In our opinion this project resembles Elastos, Cardstack and Zeppelinos.
GitHub (https://github.com/nos):
There are 13 public repos on the project's GitHub page, which hold a bit more than 104000 lines of code. The mostly used programming languages are JavaScript, Phyton, CSS. The most recent update was made on 30.08.2018г.
In regard to the quality of the code, it looks normal from consumer standpoint.
White Paper:
nOS is a project of decentralised operating system, based on NEO blockchain.
Features:
- Distributed file system will be built in IPFS style, though there are no details about how exactly it will be done
- Domain name service, organised in DNS style
- Marketplace for the apps (dApp Gateway) based on Decentralized Authority principle, which will enable unbiased rating
- NEP 5 standard token converter, connected to exchanges (no names mentioned)
- API & SDK for developers
- Back - end of the apps is ought to be built using smart-contract templates, therefore making dApp development faster and cheaper
- Mobile clients support
In essence, White Paper doesn't look exciting and doesn't provide the feeling of a top tier project, there are quite a lot of high-level algorithms without any detailed outlook. The document lacks the description of network structure, resource consumption and node classification.

Almost all of team members also participate in City of Zion and are focused on supporting the NEO core and ecosystem. We were concerned by the fact that all of the team members, excluding Fabricio Marques, don't have significant experience. It's also good to mention their CEO, who has developed pretty successful product Click.Dj

Roger is founder and partner at NEO Global Capital.
The project has very proficient advisor, who founded one of the most famous funds in the space. However, he's the only one mentioned, though we would like to see more people with experience backing up the project and able to help with fostering its development.
Summary:
The project was introduced during NEO conference this spring and it's supposed to become another addition to NEO ecosystem. After the first show on public the project got significant hype, which after some time started to decline. The project's team doesn't have any well-known members or those with remarkable achievements. The only person worth mentioning is СЕО, who developed pretty popular software for music marketing. There is only one venture fund investing in this project - NGC. The controversial ICO project Moonlight, which is not able to raise the hard cap (there are only few days until the crowd sale's end left) is stated as partner. There's only one person in advisory board - Roger Lim – founder and partner at NGC. We consider this as not sufficient. The project's roadmap is rather tight, we liked availability of nOS MVP Developer and Consumer Clients along with my.nos.app, witch can already be downloaded and they are being actively developed by the team and third-party developers. The project's White Paper wasn't impressing, but the GitHub page looked quite nice, they have rather well-written code.
In regard to tokenomics, despite all the pros there's a big red flag - Company Token Reserve and Ecosystem Adoption Reserve tokens will be unlocked immediately, which is just unacceptable.
