Developer Updates
New developer resources were added to the Neo Developer Portal in November, including an example end-to-end encrypted messaging service called Inbox, new tutorials for Java developers, and an improved data conversion tool.
Inbox is designed primarily for educational purposes and enables Neo users to send messages to other Neo addresses via their NeoNS domains. The messages are end-to-end encrypted, meaning only the sender and the message’s recipient can read the original message.
The N3 Data Converter gives developers an easy way to convert between the various different data types that they will encounter while working with Neo. The converter provides example code to perform each conversion alongside the result of its use. Currently, only example code using Neon.JS is shown, though more tools may be added in the future.
AxLabs published four tutorials that guide Java and Kotlin developers through all the tools and processes they will need to build Neo N3 dApps.
NNT Catch Up
NNT released episode 20 of the Smart Economy Podcast, featuring Len Sir, investment lead at MEXC M-Ventures and Labs. Discussion topics included the vast roles a VC plays in the incubation of ideas and projects, the focus areas of M-Ventures and Labs, his insights into Neo’s recent “Decoding Web3” university tour, and more.
SeQure added support for Neo to its blockchain anomaly detection product, SeQure-AI. The service uses a machine learning model and network monitoring to detect hacks and bugs as they occur in real-time, potentially aiding in asset recovery. The team claims to have analyzed over 100 large-scale hacking events in the blockchain industry and devised solutions for more than ten different forms of attack. Examples include mitigations for flash loan exploits, denial of service, and compromised private keys.
