Unlock Schedule
Nosana (NOS) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The chart shows gross modeled releases of every allocation: vesting unlocks, new issuance and reserve distributions, each allocation counted once. These have different meanings; a scheduled release is not evidence that tokens entered circulation or were sold. Review the coverage, sources and assumptions below.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
Supply and distribution
NOS is a fungible Solana SPL token with a fixed total supply of 100 million tokens. Its documented original allocation covers seven groups: 25% for company development, 20% for the team, 20% for rewards to nodes running workloads, 17% for private-sale backers, 10% for liquidity, 5% for airdrops, and 3% for the public sale. The project’s distribution plan set different release periods for several of these groups. These percentages describe the original allocation, rather than the amount held by each group today.

NOS links users of computing power with the people who provide it. Developers can use tokens to fund deployments, while hosts can receive NOS for running jobs. Nosana also offers platform credits for compute; its payment tools support buying credits with NOS or USDC. When a user interacts directly with Solana programs, SOL pays the blockchain transaction fees. (learn.nosana.com)
Staking and governance
Holders can stake NOS through Nosana’s staking program. Staked tokens are held in a program vault, and the amount staked and chosen unstaking duration help determine an xNOS score used for activities such as governance. The staking program also provides rewards. Nosana’s governance process has allowed eligible token holders to vote on proposed changes to network incentives. (learn.nosana.com)
Assumptions
Nosana documents a fixed 100 million NOS divided among seven original pools. Its published terms date the public-sale and liquidity availability, team and investor vesting, and an initial company release; the mining pool’s original schedule was later changed. Test Grid prizes, staking rewards, grants and other incentives use existing-token budgets, but several actual payment amounts or dates remain unresolved. The chart can show the documented and explicitly estimated unlocks, while leaving those unresolved transfers unplotted rather than treating them as new token minting.
- Incentivized Testnet Airdrop — 5% of maximum supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Company — 25% of maximum supply: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Mining and network incentives — 20% of maximum supply: The original schedule was changed and the new timing is not yet published.
- Mining and network incentives — 20% of maximum supply: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- NNP-0001 legacy staking runoff: Timing not yet established.
- Incentivized GPU Test Grid — 3% of maximum supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- GPU Test Grid Phase 1 — 0.25% of maximum supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Nosana-funded Raydium NOS–USDC farm — 0.05% of maximum supply: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Nosana Grants Program: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- 2026 RTX 4090/5090 GPU-provider incentive campaign: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
