General Updates
Chainlink‘s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol has been deployed to Neo X on MainNet, giving the EVM-compatible chain access to one of the most widely used cross-chain messaging and token transfer systems in the blockchain industry.
COZ documented the distribution of 537 NEO across five contributions in its latest Proof of Working 2.5 rewards report. The round marks the sixth installment since the program’s relaunch and recognizes a new natural-language CLI assistant for Neo N3, a NeoFS media-streaming tool, AxLabs’ maintenance of the Neo Event Filter Plugin, and continued work on the Forge token framework and the NeonJS SDK.
Neo Red Pill participated in a Telegram AMA with the BiFinance community, which offered a prize pool of US $25. The AMA attracted more than 1,000 participants.
GrantShares witnessed two proposals put on-chain, and each reached the minimum quorum for approval. The first, the Raijin Protocol Phase 2 Grant Proposal and Phase 1 Updates, requested 7,500 $GAS, and quorum was reached with four in favor, and one abstained. The second, World of Elements: Multiplayer, Neo X, and more! requested 1,200 $GAS, and a quorum was reached with five votes in favor.
Lichen completed a successful test of several thousand post-quantum transactions with Neo. Neo transactions can now be bridged as transparent or shielded via ZK-STARK with full Neo X EVM compatibility and $GAS-based execution, a step in the direction toward bringing post-quantum protection to the Neo ecosystem.
World of Elements launched an official Discord server designed to foster gaming conversations, not necessarily crypto-oriented discussions.
