About NEO

NEO is a blockchain platform designed to build a 'smart economy' by integrating digital assets, digital identity, and smart contracts. Founded in 2014 as Antshares, it is often referred to as the 'Ethereum of China'. The platform aims to digitize tangible assets such as real estate, company shares, and fiat money, enabling their registration, issuance, and circulation on the blockchain. NEO's digital identity system supports multi-layered authentication, including facial and voice recognition and fingerprints, to link the blockchain with the real-world economy. Digital assets on the platform are protected by digital certificates on its public blockchain, ensuring an immutable record of holdings.
