# NexaCore OS — Fact sheet

**One line:** An AI-native, local-first, decentralized operating system —
inference and intelligent agents as kernel-level primitives, running on hardware
you own.

## What it is
NexaCore OS treats inference, model orchestration, and intelligent agents the way
classical systems treat processes and files: as kernel-level primitives. It runs
locally by default and federates compute over a peer-to-peer mesh of
cryptographically-attested nodes, rather than commercial cloud APIs. Privacy is
enforced by the protocol, not by policy.

## Fast facts
| | |
|---|---|
| Kind | AI-native, local-first, decentralized operating system |
| Kernel | Rust microkernel, frozen system-call ABI (Ring 0 / Ring 3 split) |
| Language | Written 100% in Rust; ships ncScript (NCIP), a capability-gated scripting language |
| Built-in agents | Five capability-isolated system agents (Orchestrator, Guidance, System Administrator, Security & Performance, Task) |
| Scale | Local → personal cluster → federated mesh → cloud as last resort |
| Codebase | 34 crates · 3,799 tests · 58 syscalls · 100% Rust |
| Status | Phase 1 · Microkernel PoC · runs on real hardware · v0.3.0-alpha.1 |
| Licensing | Apache-2.0 (code) · public domain (protocol specifications) |
| Governance | Independent open-source project; forks are first-class citizens by design |

## Why it matters
Today's operating systems were designed before modern AI. NexaCore OS is built
around it from the kernel up, while keeping the user in control: local by default,
privacy enforced cryptographically, and open enough that the project's future
does not depend on any single organisation.
