For Neo, the opinions of NEO holders matter.
On Neo N3, NEO holders have the right to participate in the governance of the Neo blockchain by electing a Neo council composed of 21 members . The Neo Council will be composed of seven consensus nodes and other council members responsible for providing services, maintaining network stability, and adjusting key blockchain parameters. NEO holders will be incentivized by GAS after successfully voting for board members.
Each NEO token represents a vote for the election of members of the Neo board of directors. Therefore, NEO holders should vote to make governance decisions that are most in line with their personal values, have a deep understanding of the Neo blockchain, and be responsible for running the board of directors. Candidates.
In order to ensure a smooth transition from Neo Legacy to Neo N3, the Neo Foundation voted for the initial members of the Neo Council with its own NEO. It includes 7 NF nodes, 4 NGD nodes and 10 nodes run by the community.
From then on, Neo’s governance rights were officially handed over to NEO holders. As a NEO holder, you have the right to vote for any Neo council member you like, and you can freely register as a council candidate. This is an important step in Neo’s decentralization.
In order to help NEO holders to fully understand the candidates before voting, we will introduce in this article ten community groups that were elected as initial members of the Neo Council, so that NEO holders can share the past experience of each candidate And have a relatively comprehensive understanding of Neo ecology and the future promise of voters.
I believe all voters can find the candidate who can best represent them.

AxLabs
Since officially joining the Neo community in 2018, AxLabs has been committed to optimizing and improving the developer experience-not only has been building more friendly development tools, but also has carried out a lot of publicity around this theme.
We maintain the neow3j project together with neow3j bongo cat , the most popular and “cool” cat developer in the Neo ecosystem. The neow3j SDK and compiler allow many Java developers to write applications and smart contracts in their native programming language, benefiting many dApps and cryptocurrency exchanges. In addition, we have also built Neo Playground (a browser-based IDE that can play with Neo) and many other tools, which greatly reduces the pressure on developers.
Our core values ​​are openness, transparency, decentralization and full empowerment to builders who make outstanding contributions. Therefore, we hope to enhance the comprehensive capabilities of Neo developers by establishing DAO, supporting open protocols (such as in DeFi), and providing related tools, and transform the value they create into Neo’s common interests.
AxLabs will carefully listen to the opinions and suggestions of NEO holders and other stakeholders, work together with the community, and jointly explore how the Neo network should develop in the next step.
Chain node
Chain Node (formerly Babbitt Forum) was established in 2013. It is currently the largest blockchain fan community in China and the official forum for many high-quality projects and platforms. Blockchain enthusiasts can freely discuss hot topics such as Bitcoin expansion and Ethereum hard fork in the community. Chain node is also the first Chinese blockchain community recommended by Bitcoin’s official website Bitcoin.org.
In addition, the chain node also provides comprehensive community services for its users and partners, including online and offline event arrangements, AMA, live broadcast, etc. It has launched well-known event sub-brands in the industry represented by “ChainNode Chain Node Live Room” and “Chainge Technology Salon”.

Nash
In 2017, five members from COZ co-founded NEX, which later became Nash . These five members have participated in the development of many Neo core software, such as Neon wallet, Neoscan browser and neo-python. Nash’s round of fundraising was completed by issuing NEX tokens on the Neo blockchain in a safe and compliant manner. Nash is committed to the research and development of non-custodial solutions and cultivating an encryption ecosystem with blockchain compatibility. In addition, Nash has also created a cross-chain Layer 2 exchange that bridges Neo with Ethereum and Bitcoin. It not only provides centralized exchange services, but also never handles customer funds.
Since then, while still using the Layer-2 exchange as a professional solution, Nash began to turn its attention to DeFi accessibility issues in the consumer sector. Nash will soon launch a full-featured cash account with IBAN and flagship income products that can be directly integrated with cryptocurrency, Huobi Gateway and DEX markets.
Neo remains at the core of Nash’s new product lineup. Currently, the only legal currency gateway that can directly connect to Neo is provided by Nash, which brings users a Neo wallet protected by multi-party computing .
With the upgrade of Neo Legacy to Neo N3, Nash APP will continue to provide support for Neo, and hope to be able to integrate with Neo ecology in many ways through a simple and easy-to-use fiat gateway to attract a new wave of user groups. Neo N3 is extremely attractive to blockchain developers, making Neo unique and irreplaceable in the industry. Nash looks forward to embarking on a new journey with Neo.
Neo News Today
First of all, we are very honored to be selected by the Neo Foundation as one of the initial members of the Neo Council. The Neo Council needs members who can speak for the community-this is what we are practicing.
Since 2017, the Neo News Today team has been reporting the latest situation of the Neo ecology, and has built a bridge for developers and Dapps to maintain communication with the Neo community. We have cooperated with NGD to carry out activities, help community developers to conduct team promotion, and provide news, articles and interviews for pass holders for several years.
It is precisely because of our special role in the Neo ecology that we can truly feel what Neo’s ordinary user groups and those who wish to build a business on the Neo blockchain really need.
As a member of the Neo Council, we hope to continue our role. We have always adhered to a simple concept-Neo’s success is our success, and win-win cooperation can achieve long-term development. Therefore, NNT will directly invest the rewards we receive as a member of the Neo Council into the Neo ecosystem to fund developers, conduct market promotion, and carry out community activities.
