nOS can now deliver a decentralized platform for users by employing ARK’s flexible and powerful blockchain technology as a foundation.
FREMONT, CA: An open source blockchain platform, ARK empowers every organization, regardless of their goal or technical background, to rapidly and easily leverage blockchain technology. Recently, ARK’s blockchain technology was chosen to power the virtual operating system of nOS.
nOS is an all-in-one platform that introduces implementable business models driven by blockchain technologies. Any application can leverage nOS to extend its revenue-generating policies without surrendering user privacy.

The announcement details how the nOS virtual operating system will launch its public blockchain testnet in September, using ARK's blockchain technology. Initially issued as a NEO NEP-5 smart contract token, nOS was searching for a blockchain framework solution that offered modularity, scalability, speed, and ease of development before finally choosing ARK.
"nOS is further proof that many platforms are still facing challenges with their blockchain technology when it comes to scalability, speed, and smart contracts. It's these challenges that are causing more projects to seek out and adopt a flexible blockchain, with many of these projects drawn to ARK because of our interoperable, customizable, and easy-to-implement solutions. We're now actively working with several projects in varying stages of development through our Powered by ARK program and are seeing a mix of interest from parties both creating new ARK Bridgechains as well as those looking to migrate from other technologies. We are thrilled that a project as innovative as nOS found ARK to be the best solution for building their blockchain," mentioned Matthew Cox, Chairman of ARK.
The obstacles that led nOS to undertake the construction of a proprietary blockchain rather than constructing their platform as a sequence of smart contracts are reflective of difficulties in the sector as a whole, with exceptional deals often found to be restrictive and in reality, complex to scale. ARK's blockchain platform offers projects such as nOS with a flexible, scalable, and safe blockchain base that can be tailored to the precise demands of an application with interoperability at its core.
According to Dean van Dugteren, Founder & CEO, nOS, the deciding factor while the selection of a new blockchain core to promote the development of the nOS operating system was ARK's strong yet easy-to-implement modular structure. "As nOS evolves, it was important for us to find a flexible framework that does not require us to reinvent the wheel with concepts such as state management and consensus logic. After much research and experimentation, we found ARK to be the perfect solution for nOS. It's written entirely in Typescript, it's modular, comes with a DPOS consensus model, and the project is very actively maintained by a smart, passionate, and supportive team," she said.
Dugteren added, "ARK enables projects like nOS to build their blockchain with ease. You can program your transaction types, storage and wallet logic, and much more. It's essentially as easy as building a centralized app. Those are just a handful of the many reasons why we're excited to build on ARK and work with the ARK team."
For ARK, the partnership reflects a favorable upward trend in its blockchain technology adoption. A few months ago, the release of the ARK Deployer also allowed a wealth of "bridgechains" to be created, all with very different business models, platforms and requirements — but all using an ARK blockchain foundation.
Built on ARK's blockchain technology, the new nOS blockchain is just the first step in developing the partnership between nOS and ARK. Following the launch of the ARK-based nOS mainnet this year, the company will start exploring the ARK Marketplace and the ways it can benefit from features and modules designed by nOS.
