NEO

Neo co-founder, Da Hongfei, spoke with CoinDesk about the Flamingo Finance protocol, stating that Flamingo is not a  “copy and paste,” of Ethereum products, but is “like rebuilding a parallel universe.”

NGD Seattle lead, John deVadoss, contributed to an InterWork Alliance article discussing how industry standards can make tokenized services as mainstream as WiFi or broadband. To do so, the IWA has identified a set of industry concepts and built protocol agnostic templates for developers to use.

The Flamingo Finance team released a guide for working with various types of assets on its platform. The guide outlines assets such as nNEO, pONT, in addition to Flamincome n, p, and pn assets. It includes details on how to wrap base assets and the functions of each within Flamingo.

Some NEO and other NEP-5 assets token holders received an airdrop of nNEO and were advised not to interact with it under any circumstances. Reports were made regarding suspicious activity linked to the token.

Road to Neo3

Neo News Today hosted Guardian Circle CEO and founder, Mark Jeffrey, on Byzant to talk about what it takes to succeed when running a blockchain startup and how it differs from a traditional startup environment. Among the many factors, Jeffrey noted success is often found focusing on “one thing and one thing only,” and timing.
