Neo News: Week in Review – June 8 – June 14

General Updates

Neo N3 T5 TestNet was upgraded to Neo-CLI v3.10.0 on June 12, and is planned for MainNet on June 26. It introduces groundwork for the upcoming Gorgon hard fork alongside new developer tools, wallet enhancements, and an official Docker image for simplified node deployment.

Neo X TestNet was upgraded to v0.6.0 “Rarefaction,” which introduced support for Ethereum’s Osaka fork, a rebased Geth v1.16.9 foundation, and the new BEACON/2 P2P protocol for improved network synchronization. The release is fully compatible with Neo X v0.5.3 and continues the chain’s pattern of tracking upstream Ethereum execution-layer changes. Neo X is built as a fork of Geth, Ethereum’s Go-based client implementation, maintained by Bane Labs. As such, it inherits execution layer upgrades from Ethereum’s roadmap. The v0.6.0 update is the latest in a series of TestNet releases that have progressively modernized Neo X’s architecture.
