NEO

NEO is a Layer 1 blockchain platform, launched on 17 October 2016, that describes itself as a 'smart economy' network designed to digitize real-world assets — such as property, company shares, or fiat currency — and manage them through smart contracts on a decentralized ledger. It was originally named Antshares and is commonly referred to as China's first open-source public blockchain. The platform targets individuals, businesses, and developers who want to register, issue, and transfer digital representations of tangible assets alongside verifiable digital identities.

NEO is categorized as a Proof of Stake network, though the specific consensus algorithm is not recorded in the data held on this site. The NEO token functions as a governance unit within the network, and the platform also generates a second token (GAS) that is used to pay for computation and network services, a detail reflected in the blockchain's broader design rather than in the figures stored here. The chain records a block time of essentially zero minutes in the stored data, which likely reflects a near-instant or sub-second finality design rather than a literal absence of block production.

The data stored on this site does not include a protocol fee stream for NEO, and no stablecoin supply is hosted on the chain at this point in time. The total value locked stands at approximately 1,023,828 USD on a point-in-time basis, while the market capitalization to TVL ratio is 162.14 and the fully diluted valuation to TVL ratio is 229.89, both point-in-time figures; these ratios are very large relative to the locked value, meaning fee-based measures derived from TVL carry limited informational weight here. The 30-day average trading volume relative to market capitalization is 3.08, and the volume-to-TVL ratio over the same period is 4.99, indicating that trading activity on external venues is many times larger than the value actively deployed inside the protocol.
