Neo Global Development has opened a one-month registration window, June 8 to July 8, for users still holding unmigrated Neo Legacy $NEO and $GAS to submit their details and verify ownership. Verified holders will then be guided through an off-chain conversion that reissues an equivalent amount of $NEO and $GAS on the Neo X chain. The initiative delivers on the recovery process Neo promised when Neo Legacy MainNet shut down in October 2025.
The official Neo Legacy to Neo N3 migration portal was available for more than four years before it officially closed on Oct. 31, 2025. During that shutdown, NGD said an off-chain recovery path would be available for holders who missed the deadline. According to the announcement, NGD has since received inquiries from individual users and exchanges about migrating Legacy assets, and the new process is intended, in part, to assess how much Legacy $NEO and $GAS remain under user control.
Eligible assets are limited to $NEO and $GAS. The program does not list any NEP-5, NEP-17, or other Legacy token types as eligible.
How the process works
The program runs in two steps that must be completed in sequence.
Step 1 is submitting basic information via a Google Form. The submission window opens at 8:00 a.m. (UTC) on June 8, and closes at 8:00 a.m. on July 8. The form link is not yet live and will be published through NGD’s official X account at 8:00 a.m. on June 8. The form closes promptly at the deadline; no submissions are accepted afterward, regardless of the reason.
In Step 1, users provide:
- Their Legacy address
- The method by which they control that address
- The asset types and amounts held, and
- Any further details needed to support communication and ownership verification
Each form corresponds to a single Legacy address, so users controlling more than one unmigrated address must submit a separate form for each. Submitters must also accept a declaration and disclaimer attesting that their information is accurate, and upon successful conversion, irrevocably waiving any future claim against Neo for the same Legacy assets.
Step 2 is ownership verification, with a deadline of 8:00 a.m. on July 9. Communication for this step is conducted by email through contact@ngd.network. Applications are reviewed in the order received, and applicants who pass the initial review are contacted by email and asked to provide additional verification information. Material submitted after the deadline, or beyond what Neo explicitly requests, will not be reviewed. If an applicant cannot provide sufficient information, Neo deems the ownership unverified.
Once the review is complete and ownership is verified, eligible applicants will be contacted individually via email and guided through the conversion, at which point the equivalent $NEO and $GAS on Legacy will be transferred to Neo X.
NGD has stated the initiative is not a reopening of the Neo Legacy to Neo N3 migration portal, which remains permanently closed. It applies only to applications submitted within the window, completed in accordance with the prescribed procedures, and passing ownership verification.
Security guidance
The announcement emphasizes anti-phishing precautions. Neo will never ask for a private key, wallet JSON file, or wallet password, and will never ask users to transfer assets or perform any asset-movement operation. The announcement states that contact@ngd.network is the only email address Neo will use for this process and urges users to check sender addresses carefully, as even minor character differences may indicate a phishing attempt. Neo will not contact users about this process through direct messages on X, Telegram, or Discord.
