General Updates

Neo distributed the NEO token contributions made to the Neo Bond program as well as the earned interest. NEO returns began on May 6 at 4:00 a.m. (UTC) and were issued in daily batches through May 11. Each batch covered deposits made within a 24-hour window. In total, 5 million NEO were contributed to the Bond program by 553 unique wallet addresses, and 177,842 NEO were distributed to the participants. The program was introduced following an internal investigation into large-scale NEO token transfers that impacted the composition of consensus nodes and coincided with a significant decline in market value.

Neo’s ecosystem will staff a booth at Consensus 2025 taking place in Toronto, including representatives from Flamingo Finance, Nudes Token, NNT, and COZ.
