Nosana is a Solana-based marketplace that connects clients who need GPU compute with hosts that list compatible hardware. Its current documentation focuses on AI workloads, including inference, and describes NOS as the network’s native token for using the service and coordinating provider incentives.

How the marketplace works
Clients submit compute workloads to the marketplace, while GPU hosts run Nosana’s node software and make compatible hardware available. The project’s host guide currently lists NVIDIA GPU requirements and directs hosts to inspect live markets and queues. That makes the available hardware, workload fit, and queue conditions relevant to an individual job; the marketplace should not be treated as a guarantee of lower cost, a particular completion time, or cloud-provider service levels.
NOS tokenomics and utility
NOS is a six-decimal Solana SPL token with an official total supply of 100 million. Nosana describes the token as a way to pay for network workloads and says it is used in staking, network security, governance, and incentives between clients and GPU providers. The project’s published allocation divides supply among public sale (3%), airdrop (5%), liquidity (10%), team (20%), company (25%), mining (20%), and backers (17%). Those published release schedules describe the original allocation plan; they do not by themselves establish that any particular wallet still has locked tokens. CoinGecko listed the full 100 million as circulating at the snapshot above.
Limits and safety
A distributed compute marketplace depends on suitable hardware being online and a client workload matching what hosts can provide. Check the current job queue and requirements before assuming capacity is available. Nosana’s host documentation also recommends running node software in a sandbox and using a Solana wallet that holds only a minimal amount of SOL. These operational details matter to hosts; holding NOS does not guarantee that a workload will be available or profitable.
