It can be either.

Although technically a SINGULAR value (no one), none can use either singular or plural verbs, depending on the context (especially when an adverb indicates that it does not actually mean "no one" single person or thing).

None of them are going to the fair. Of the three candidates, none is going to the fair.

The value none meaning nothing, no part, is singular.

None of the cake is left.

But when used with plurals, either verb could be acceptable.

None of the cakes is left. None of the cakes are left.

The word "none" meaning not any persons (of them) can use plural verbs, especially when used with "almost." (Almost none of them stayed for the ending.)
None meaning no one, or no part of a whole, uses singular verbs. (None of the boys remembers that night. None of the pie was left. )
