# Zero-OS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A revolutionary operating system which can be booted on most modern computers. Once installed Zero-OS locks the hardware and makes it accessible to the decentralized marketplace or a centralized ultra secure deployment system. Blockchain mechanism can be used to strongly control how workloads are deployed on the system.

### Imagine An Operating System With The Following Benefits
|
|
|
|
- Up to 10x more efficient for certain workloads (e.g. storage)
|
|
- No install required
|
|
- All files are deduped for the VM's, containers and the ZOS itself, no more data duplicated filesystems
|
|
- The hacking footprint is very small which leads to much safer systems
|
|
- Every file is fingerprinted and gets checked at launch time of an application
|
|
- There is no shell or server interface on the operating system
|
|
- The networks are end2end encrypted between all Nodes
|
|
- It is possible to completely disconnect the compute/storage from the network service part which means hackers have a lot less chance to access the data
|
|
- A smart contract for the IT layer allows groups of people to deploy IT workloads with consensus and full control
|
|
- All workloads which can run on linux can run on Zero-OS but in a much more controlled, private and safe way
|
|
|
|
> We have created an operating system from scratch. We used the Linux kernel and its components and then built further on it. We have been able to achieve all of the above benefits.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements:
|
|
|
|
- **Autonomy**: TF Grid needs to create compute, storage and networking capacity everywhere. We could not rely on a remote (or a local) maintenance of the operating system by owners or operating system administrators.
|
|
- **Simplicity**: An operating system should be simple, able to exist anywhere for anyone, and be good for the planet.
|
|
- **Stateless**: In a grid (peer-to-peer) set up, the sum of the components provides a stable basis for single elements to fail and not bring the whole system down. Therefore, it is necessary for single elements to be stateless, and the state needs to be stored within the grid.
