Highlights

NEW REPORT

NEO News Today is pleased to present its new format for the NEO Global Monthly Report, featuring updates on NEO3 progress, community development groups projects, marketing initiatives, and much more. Over the last year, NNT has been producing infographic style summaries of the NEO Global Monthly Reports in synergy with NGD for easy sharing. This new format will replace the infographic, and we are confident that it will allow the information to be more easily consumed in more languages on a wider range of devices.

MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS

September was a milestone month for NEO as it held its inaugural NEO Community Assembly, inviting representatives from NEO development communities to collaborate in Shanghai, from September 2nd through 6th. Leaders from community groups around the globe spent a week in intensive discussions surrounding topics such as NEO3 features, governance, and economic models.

A highlight of the event was the NEO Community Assembly press conference in which releases for NEO•ONE, NeoFS, and the NEO Blockchain Toolkit for .NET were announced.

In the weeks that followed, another big milestone was achieved with the launch of NEO3 Preview 1 and its accompanying preview TestNet on September 16th.

NEO also announced at the .NET Conference 2019 on September 24th that it has joined the Microsoft created .NET Foundation – making it the first blockchain project to join the organization.

Other general ecosystem progress was made with NEO announcing a new partnerships with Celer Network, a layer-2 solution provider with a goal of building towards better scalability and ecosystem growth, and MixMarvel, who announced “Ground Hunter,” a blockchain-based FPS game featuring NEO NFT assets.

The NEO Foundation also released its 2019 mid-year financial report, outlining its NEO and GAS holdings, investment funds, and other assets, while providing details about its expenditures.
