TechFlow news, on October 2, ByteNova announced the official launch of its first flagship user application, N.O.V.A. N.O.V.A will serve as an AI desktop companion, providing users with companionship services along with rapid market tracking and analysis. Each user's N.O.V.A will be unique. Initial deployment supports Windows systems on PC, with Mac OS and mobile versions to be gradually released later. The ByteNova team also mentioned that a user creation platform and a N.O.V.A marketplace will be introduced in the future, bringing diversity and sustainable growth to the N.O.V.A ecosystem.
Since the Freemint of N.O.V.A SBT began on August 30, 2025, over 80,000 participants have joined the minting process. The N.O.V.A SBT will be the essential pass required to activate N.O.V.A. Holders will be able to customize their own desktop companion using N.O.V.A and mine through interactions with it.
Backed by ecosystems including NVIDIA, a16z, CMC Labs, and BNB Chain, ByteNova aims to build a "Edge AI" technology stack. By containerizing AI models and deploying and running them directly on local devices, it eliminates the need to upload data to the cloud—achieving lower latency and faster response times, while permanently keeping data under user control to ensure privacy and security.
