NNT Catch Up

Neo Compounder recently launched, allowing users to wrap NEO and bNEO into a cNEO token, which automatically uses GAS rewards to purchase more bNEO. The auto-compounding wrapper went live on March 14. Neo Compounder was designed and built by Lyrebird founder and FUSD contract developer William Song. The token wrapper is the result of two successful GrantShares proposals submitted by Song. The first proposal sought funds to cover smart contract and frontend development costs, while the second sought funds to pay for the contract auditing by Red4Sec.
