NEO
Neo was examined in an analysis report conducted by blockchain researcher and analyst, Christian Ott. In the report, Ott compiled and analyzed transaction growth, wallet growth, and asset holding data from within the Neo ecosystem. Data and metrics were collected via NewEconoLabs (NEL) blockchain explorer, Neodepot, and Neo Economy. Ott used data points at six-month intervals for the transaction and address analysis, and NEP-5 addresses with a minimum balance of over US $100 per asset.
Developer Groups
COZ released the latest version of Neon wallet, bringing with it support for “split key” wallet imports, bug fixes, and other improvements. The split key wallet import option, developed by Hal0x2328, allows a user to combine the private key from a saved wallet with a secondary private key to generate a new one. This function can also be used to allow third parties to compute vanity public addresses for users without the third party knowing the final private key.
NeoResearch had an article published in an MDPI publication, which is a compilation of peer-reviewed, open access journals. A portion of the article describes the Neo blockchain and NeoCompiler in a drafted smart contract for mobility on smart cities.
