# NONOS

> Zero-Trust OS By Design

NONOS helps users protect their privacy by providing an operating system that runs entirely in memory without storing data on disk.

NONOS helps users protect their digital privacy by providing an operating system built from scratch in Rust. With it, users can run programs in isolated environments, communicate through anonymous networks, and operate without leaving traces on storage devices. NONOS prevents data leaks through memory-only operation and removes common security vulnerabilities found in traditional systems.

## Products

- [NONOS Operating System](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nonos): NONOS implements zero-trust architecture through memory-safe Rust microkernel, providing RAM-resident diskless operation and anonymous mesh networking. The system features cryptographically-verified modular execution where applications run in isolated sandboxes with secure inter-process communication. (Developer Tooling, In Development, Main Product)

## Assets

- [NOX (NOX)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nonos): NOX is the utility token of the NONOS operating system. It is used for governance participation, micro-fee payments for compute operations, and accessing DePIN infrastructure services. NOX serves as the economic layer tying together node operators, developers, and users within the NONOS ecosystem. (Utility)

Model 1 - open data. The open data core is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL) — a copyleft/share-alike license allowing free use, modification, and sharing for any purpose. Attribution is required: include "Powered by The Grid" linking to https://thegrid.id wherever the data is used. Derivative databases must be shared under ODbL terms. Trademarks, logos, and brand names (marked "Special TPIP") are not covered by the ODbL. For ML/AI use: training datasets that substantially extract ODbL data are Derivative Databases and must be shared under ODbL if publicly used; models must be attributed in documentation.

Model 2 - commercial licenses. The Grid Data Service (TGDS) is also available as a commercial license. See [Web Services Terms](https://about.thegrid.id/legal/web-services-terms) for commercial use that is not covered by the open data service.

The following applies to both licensing models.
- All data is provided AS IS with no guarantees of accuracy.
- The Grid does not provide investment, legal, or tax advice, and
- a project's presence in The Grid's data does not imply endorsement.
