NEO (NEO) is a long-running smart-contract Layer 1 originally launched as Antshares before rebranding, often described as one of the earliest "China-origin" blockchain platforms. It uses a delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus and a dual-token model where holding NEO generates GAS to pay for network fees.
