NEO
Neo Global Development released Neo-CLI v3.0.3, which fixed a variety of bugs and optimized the user experience. NGD noted that if the new version of Neo-CLI runs well on TestNet, N3 MainNet will undergo an upgrade at 8:00 a.m. (UTC) on Thursday, Oct. 14.
Defina Finance was accepted into the N3 Early Adoption Program and will receive funding, technical support, and other incubation opportunities from NGD. Defina is an online blockchain-based role-playing game that utilizes a play-to-earn model, a new monetization method that integrates tokens into gameplay. In Defina, players own their gaming assets and can monetize them via yield farming in DeFi protocols or trading NFTs. Moving forward, Defina plans to release a set of Neo-based Defina NFT heroes, launch a Neo-exclusive script, and invent more gaming modes on N3.
NGD Enterprise lead, John deVadoss, joined Forkast’s Word on the Block to discuss the InterWork Alliance and the entity’s goal of creating token standards and protocols, the IWA’s merger with the Global Blockchain Business Council, and much more.
NGD hosted GhostMarket founder Vincent Geneste on Neo Live, an AMA session held on the official Neo Telegram channel. In the AMA, Geneste discussed his background in the Neo ecosystem, the complexities of building a multi-chain NFT platform, new use cases for NFTs, and more. Following the event, GhostMarket distributed 10 GHOST NFTs to AMA participants.
