I owe the community a clear explanation of why I originally stepped away from Neo, and why I later chose to return. At the time, @dahongfei requested a private meeting. He told me that having two people jointly overseeing the Neo Foundation (NF) was, in his view, slowing Neo down

After half a year of development, the improved NEO consensus algorithm dBFT is about to be completed. dBFT will become the best consensus mechanism for blockchains.

We found some connection problems in NEO P2P protocol weeks ago which may cause temp communication pause after long run of consensus nodes. it automatically recovers after certain time. A patch was released and tested last month on testnet. Will deploy it on mainnet this week.

The mass adoption of blockchain tech is imminent. NEO 3.0 will be a large scale commercial application ready implementation with high throughput, enhanced stability, an optimized smart contract system, and a feature-packed infrastructure set. #ROADMAP: medium.com/@neoerikzhang/…

We have planned to deploy dBFT2.0 on the NEO MainNet in early June. Since then we will no longer experience the problem of block forks. We are one step closer to a reliable smart economy.

#NeoVM has made significant progress this year. With stack isolation, it is now available for deployment outside the NEO network. With the expansion of NeoContact, we are one step closer to the vision of becoming the most developer-friendly public chain. bit.ly/2Snrq2T

NEO's goal is to have the ability to run large-scale commercial applications. To achieve this goal, we are doing two things. The first is to improve NEO's infrastructure so that it has higher tps and a more reliable dBFT consensus algorithm.

The development of NEO 3.0's Native Contract is completed. In the future, all assets will be contract assets, including NEO/GAS. This will allow faster contract execution, direct in-contract NEO/GAS interactions, and easier GAS claim. More details here:

I was recently invited to the Network State Conference. Let me be clear: The Network State is not the future — it is a dangerous illusion. 1. Balaji’s idea sounds simple: “Gather like-minded people → build an online community → crowdfund land → form a new state.” The problem?

NEO's #vision is to serve the smart economy and support large-scale commercial applications, which has never changed. The smart economy is based on the digital economy, which is an economic system that digitizes assets and transfers, pays, and trades them on the Internet.
