NEO
Flamingo Finance announced the upcoming rollout of governance components, allowing users to vote on new proposals. Flamingo’s first governance proposal will open for voting at the start of December. This proposal will let the community decide whether or not to use GAS generated by locked NEO in the nNEO contract for a Perp trading competition. The team is also testing the Perp contract in preparation for a mid-December release and is working on a new mechanism to resolve n-asset pegging issues.
Elrond announced the beginning of its integration with Poly Network. Once complete, the implementation will allow applications and tokens on the Elrond MainNet to connect with and transfer across to other participating blockchains. Elrond seeks to leverage the protocol to encourage the transfer of valuable or liquid assets such as BTC or ERC-20 tokens to its blockchain. It also hopes to enable assets on Elrond to participate in DeFi opportunities on other networks.
