Neo

Neo Foundation technologist, Steven Liu, spoke with Neo News Today’s Colin Closser to discuss Neo’s global development community and the upcoming development of the Neo protocol.

Neo partnered with Incognito, a blockchain development team focused on providing privacy features to public blockchains. The two entities aim to collaborate to bring private transactions to the smart economy. The solution will take the form of a “trustless privacy bridge” between Neo and an Incognito sidechain, which will allow senders to hide balances, quantities, timestamps, senders, and recipients of transactions.
