NEO
Neo Global Development released the bimonthly report for Sep. and Oct. 2021, which focused on technical development. NGD recently changed the structure of the monthly reports–instead of delivering one report every month detailing all activities within the Neo ecosystem, each month will alternate between focusing on general progress and on development. The current report covers Neo core protocol updates, infrastructure and tool development across the ecosystem, and major project milestones.
NGD accepted iMe Smart Platform into the N3 Early Adoption Program. The iMe application is a messaging platform powered by the Telegram API, incorporating blockchain-enabled features like wallets and DeFi. In the announcement, the iMe team noted it was drawn to Neo’s community and seeks to engage and interact with its global audience. Looking forward, iMe plans to involve the community in farming and staking campaigns, contests, and other activities. The iMe app is available for iOS and Android.
Polychain Monsters co-founders Leif Leiser and Lennart Brandt joined NGD’s AMA series, Neo Live, on Thursday, Nov. 25. Polychain Monsters is a cross-blockchain, play-to-earn game based on NFT collectibles that also incorporates DeFi elements. In the AMA, Leiser and Brandt discussed new gaming revenue models, the mechanics of the PMON token, the Neo N3 ecosystem’s focus on interoperability, how the feature-rich N3 platform simplifies onboarding new hires, upcoming NFT and game launches, and collaborating with other blockchain projects.
Binance added support for N3 NEO and GAS to its custodial exchange. Users can now deposit NEO and GAS from the Neo N3 network. NEO/BUSD, NEO/USDT, NEO/BNB, NEO/BTC, NEO/ETH, NEO/TRY, NEO/USDC, and GAS/BTC markets are currently open for trading. Alongside N3, Binance intends to continue supporting the deposit and withdrawals of NEO on the Legacy network.
NGD is hosting the second episode of DevLog with Alexey Vanin, Neo SPCC software engineer, at 2:00 pm (UTC) on Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2021. DevLog is a live developer discussion that offers updates on tooling and infrastructure and connects the broader blockchain community with subject matter experts in the Neo ecosystem.
NNT Catch Up
Neo News Today hosted Tyler Adams, COZ co-founder and CEO, on episode 65 of the NNT podcast. Discussion topics included why the team is integrating the WalletConnect protocol into Neon Wallet, participating in Neo’s governance process and recent voting, and a streaming payment service currently in development.
Developer Groups
COZ published the first formal version of Neon Wallet mobile, now available for Android and iOS devices. Support for both Neo Legacy and Neo N3 is included in the release, though users will need the Desktop versions to migrate assets.
Neo community developer Robert Oschler released the fourth installment of the From Ethereum to Neo video series. Lesson four looks at the payment processing flow on Neo N3, including a dive into the onNep17Payment functionality, context regarding how decimals are handled in tokens, and how to validate access to contract methods with CheckWitness. This resource for new Neo developers was launched following a grant from Neo News Today and is intended to help onboard existing Ethereum builders.
Ecosystem
