Coinbase announced that NEO perpetual futures will be listed on its Advanced platform starting Sep. 5. The Advanced platform is oriented toward experienced traders with options like margin trading, APIs and algorithmic trading tools, and more. Perpetual futures are a type of derivative trading product that allows traders to speculate on the future value of an asset without an expiration date. Unlike traditional futures contracts, which have a specific expiry date, perpetual futures can be held indefinitely.

The Graph integrated support for Neo X within its indexing service. Developers can now view Neo X subgraphs on the explorer or use the Studio management dApp to aggregate relevant data for their applications.

Flamingo Finance began the disbursement process for the Lyrebird LRB Fund, established after Flamingo absorbed Lyrebird Finance in June 2022. The fund consists of a diversified basket of NEP-17 tokens, including FUSD, TIPS, SOM, CANDY, and DOGER. LRB holders can participate in the disbursement by sending their LRB tokens to the designated Fund Disbursement address from now until Dec. 31, 2024. Participants will receive their share of the fund in January 2025. After the Dec. 31 deadline, the LRB pool will be removed from Flamingo, and the LRB/USDL trading pair will be deprecated.

Flamingo released a recording of its Community Lagoon from July, where the team covered the development and marketing plans for Neo’s DeFi platform and fielded questions from the community.

Asteroneo released its two-week roadmap, which noted plans for a USDC bridge, the launch of LP point farming, the AsteroLab memecoin launcher, a memecoin rewards program, and the NeoNaut NFT series premiere. Additionally, Asteroneo announced a NeoNaut airdrop campaign for a forthcoming memecoin launch tool and module.

NeoLine added support for the Neo X blockchain to the Chrome browser wallet extension. Users can now bridge between Neo N3 and X, access any EVM network within the settings page, and instantly switch between Neo Legacy, N3, and X.

Neobox released its roadmap, which noted plans for an Arcade Station with new games and applications, a private sale of the NEOBOX token, and the forthcoming launch of the NEP-17 token.

Frank Coin hosted a livestream to reward viewers with NEP-17 tokens and showcase the Neobox roadmap, Neo ecosystem news, and the Pixudi NFT board racing game.
