NEO

Neo co-founder, Da Hongfei, noted the importance of being able to operate within different regulatory jurisdictions as part of Neo’s open network vision. In an interview with Data Dash’s Nicholas Merten, Da referenced a future where independent versions of blockchains might operate as part of a broader Neo ecosystem. In this vision of the Neo open network, multiple iterations of Neo could connect and communicate with one another via an interoperability protocol, such as the Poly Network.
