An L1 is having its Dark Knight Rises moment right now.
They're the first to redefine programmability and token economies.
A deep dive into the @Neo_Blockchain design and why it's the future.
đ§”âŹïž

1. The History
Long before the "L1 wars" were a narrative.
@Neo_Blockchain Launched as Antshares in 2014, it was hailed as China's first public blockchain and a direct competitor to Ethereum.
This is the legacy on which Neo was built, and its journey is more relevant today than ever.

2. The Evolution
The fatal flaw in many L1s? They force you to spend your voting power.
In single-token systems, your governance asset is also your gas token.
â This means every transaction literally drains your influence.
Pay fees or protect your influence? With $NEO, you do both.

3. The Dual Token Model
At the heart of Neo's economy are two tokens:
â $NEO: Represents ownership and governance rights. It is indivisible, with a total supply of 100M.
â $GAS: The utility token used to pay for txn costs, smart contract deployments, & other on-chain services.
$GAS also acts as the utility token on their EVM-compatible sidechain, Neo X.
Here's how it all works.
5. A model ahead of its time
Neo created its dual-token model years before other chains even recognized the problem between network usage and governance.
A truly forward-thinking design.
But this visionary economic model isn't the only thing that sets Neo apart...
7. The Neo Stack
Neo's foresight extends to its tech offering an all-in-one toolkit with powerful features built right in:
- NeoVM: Allows devs to code in C#, Python, Go, and more.
- NeoFS: Offers native, decentralized data storage.
- Oracles: Securely connect to real-world data.
9. Driving Adoption
Neo is expanding its reach by integrating with cross-chain protocols like Poly Network, connecting it to chains such as Ethereum.
The upcoming Neo X layer will add EVM compatibility and built-in Anti-MEV protection.
Neo X is EVM⊠reinvented. Same tools. Fairer rules.
EVM dominates for a reason: massive user base, mature tooling, and a thriving ecosystem.
But is compatibility enough?
Neo X says no.
We went further, asking: âWhat do EVM developers actually need?â
Then we rebuild the experience from the ground up. â

11. Neo's dual-token model is more than just an upgrade in tokenomics.
It's a strategic design that aligns the incentives of users, developers, and governors.
It creates a sustainable flywheel where holding $NEO strengthens the network and rewards the holder simultaneously.
By empowering its community through an innovative governance model and providing developers with a superior, all-in-one toolset, Neo is building a blockchain for the future into its vision of a "Smart Economy."
