NEO
Neo moved into the Mass Migration phase of the Neo N3 MainNet rollout. All token holders were invited to migrate NEO and GAS from Neo Legacy to Neo N3. An incentive program is running during the first two months of Mass Migration, offering NEO-based bonuses to early participants. The Token Migration Incentive Program rewards users with NEO tokens for early migration to Neo N3. Since NEO is an indivisible token, the minimum amount receivable in the Token Migration Incentive Program is 1 NEO. Token holders will receive up to a 1% bonus until Sep. 15, when the bonuses will decrease.
Neo Global Development announced it is releasing collectible Neoverse NFTs to celebrate the launch of the Neo N3 MainNet and the Mass Migration program. NGD intends to distribute the Neoverse NFTs in “blind boxes” via airdrops and purchases. There will be a total of 27,000 blind boxes available, each containing one of nine elemental pieces representing major technical features of the Neo N3 blockchain. Once users have collected all nine of the N3 Element NFT pieces, they can burn them to mint a special N3 Collector’s Edition NFT. Neo community members can become eligible to receive NFT airdrops by participating in official Neo ecosystem projects and other partner events, with details still to be announced.
NGD hosted its second community trivia campaign in as many weeks, where participants competed for a pool equivalent to US $200 in rewards. Winners were chosen depending on the speed and accuracy of answering questions.
