NNT founder Dean Jeffs, and editors Brett Rhodes (aka Edge) and Dylan Grabowski joined to discuss covering the Neo ecosystem since 2017 and other activities/projects NNT maintains. In the AMA, the trio talked about the origin of NNT, the team’s role within the community, NNT’s non-media related projects, the r/NEO GasBot, and how to get involved in contributing to the Neo ecosystem.

NGD established a strategic partnership with vEmpire, a self-proclaimed new and fairer system of DAO. According to its whitepaper, vEmpire was created to highlight the centralization that can occur in supposedly decentralized systems and to aid as an effective tool in countering this. The partnership with Neo is intended to catalyze the development of Neo’s NFT, GameFi, and Metaverse projects, facilitating more decentralized governance and investment within the Neo ecosystem.

NGD announced a partnership with the Metaverse Alliance, which initially includes supporting the Metathon hackathon as a sponsor.
