Nosana is a decentralized computation platform powered by the Solana Network. It aims to democratize CPU cloud computing and help open source projects build software faster, more cost-effective, and secure. By moving from the cloud to the crowd, Nosana believes that communities can provide the computation needed in a decentralized way, reducing reliance on big companies' server farms.

Nosana is a crowd-computing platform where community members can rent out the CPU capacity of their devices to support their favorite projects and earn NOS tokens. It supports most consumer hardware, making it accessible for anyone to generate extra income. The first project, Galactica, focuses on providing the compute power required to run projects' CI/CD infrastructure. Developers and supporters can use and share each other's compute power to execute software delivery pipelines and earn NOS tokens. No technological knowledge is required, only a strong belief in open source and crypto projects. CI by the people, for the people!

NOS is the native utility token used in the Nosana platform. It serves multiple purposes:

• Processing pipelines and running CI/CD checks incur fees in NOS tokens.
• Staking NOS tokens allows users to earn rewards and participate in the platform's validation process.
• NOS tokens are used for governance votes to determine how network resources are allocated.
