Antshares Rebrands, Introduces NEO and the New Smart Economy June 22, 2017, 10:51:02 PM EDT By Bradley Fink, Bitcoin Magazine
Shutterstock photoAt a gathering at the Microsoft headquarters in Beijing on Thursday, with about 200 people in attendance, Antshares , the first open-source blockchain platform developed in China, announced a complete rebranding of its blockchain solution, as well as a number of other developments detailing their ambitious plans forward.
One of the revelations was the platform's new name and brand, NEO, which in Greek means newness, novelty and youth. The developers also highlighted the strengths of their advanced smart contract code, which will support decentralized commerce, digital identities and the digitization of many different assets. This rebranding of Antshares represents a new direction for the development of China's [Suspicious link removed]munity.Currently, holders of ANS can now automatically generate Antcoins (ANC) in their Antshares wallets, which will be used as gas on the platform. The ANS asset symbol will become NEO in the 3rd quarter of 2017; meanwhile, the NEO team is working on new clients and a UI for the new NEO brand.
Throughout the day, there were presentations from participants including Microsoft representatives, NEO platform developers, and founders of partner platforms. Among the select attendees were several major potential investors, industry experts and blockchain enthusiasts, as well as members of the Chinese financial and mainstream media.
Presenters at the conference included:Da Hongfei, founder of NEOAfter announcing NEO's new brand and strategy, Da Hongfei elaborated on the future of blockchain technology, where every asset will be digitized and programmable with smart contracts. Calling for the transparency and openness of data, he introduced concepts of the "Smart Economy" and new smart contract system, and announced that he is building a new multi-chain protocol for interoperability.Da Hongfei's top revelations at the conference were that:NEO is collaborating with certificate authorities in China to map real-world assets using smart contracts;NEO has received a new patent for cross-chain distributed interoperability;NEO's recent new startup partners include Bancor, Agrello, Coindash, Nest Fund, and Binance, with more partner announcements to come.
Erik Zhang, Core Developer of NEOIn his presentation, Erik Zhang discussed the evolution of Smart Contracts 2.0, and explained the main differences between NEO and Ethereum. One big contrast of these competing platforms is their programming languages. Ethereum requires developers to learn to program with Solidity. Neo, on the other hand, will support almost all programming languages via a compiler, including those on Microsoft.net, Java, Kotlin, Go and Python, greatly lowering the difficulty for developers to write smart contracts. By making its programming languages more inclusive, NEO hopes to attract a larger community of developers. Zhang also explained the mechanics of the NEO Virtual Machine, its execution engine and interoperability.
Slide Of The NEO Virtual MachineTony Tao, CEO of NEO and Founder of Nest FundBased on the concept of Ethereum's The DAO, a blockchain-based investment fund, Tony Tao is about to release a whitepaper for a similar project. Called Nest Fund , and built on NEO's blockchain, this fund will make improvements on the failures of The DAO. By offering a global bounty reward for any hacker who finds bugs, Nest will be audited by a worldwide peer review, and will then release its token for decentralized investing.Srikanth Raju, Microsoft's G.M of Developer Experience and Evangelism for the Greater China RegionAccording to Mr. Raju, blockchain technology will lead us into a new digital age, displacing traditional businesses and middlemen throughout many industries. He said that Onchain (the company that founded NEO) is "one of the top 50 startup companies in China", and offered his support for their endeavors going forward.
Mr. Han Feng, Tsinghua University I-CenterFostering innovation and entrepreneurship at the top university in China, Tsinghua University's I-Center focuses on the large-scale integration of technology resources. Speaking for the university's growing interest in supporting blockchain technology, Mr. Han Feng said that current systems of commerce are "outdated and insecure," and that the internet is ready for an upgrade to a blockchain-based operating system. Calling for a fully-automated, blockchain-based, decentralized economy, he said we can expect a digital revolution in the years to come. This will include digital currency, decentralized storage, secure smart contract codes, IoT, AI, and many more innovations.
Chen Cheng Qiang, founder and CEO of InnospaceLocated in Shanghai, Innospace is a business incubation company, with office spaces, meeting spaces, cafes and living spaces. At today's conference, Innospace CEO Chen Cheng Qiang announced a ￥200 million CNY ($29.3 million USD) incubation fund, a collaboration between his company and the NEO blockchain team. Plans for the fund include the establishment of a new blockchain space in Shanghai, combining working spaces, startup incubation and acceleration services. According to Mr. Qiang, his company plans to provide the most successful entrepreneurship acceleration services in China.
Alex Norta, founder of AgrelloComing all the way from Estonia, Alex Norta announced that his startup Agrello will be partnering with NEO to develop smart contracts for automation, self-execution, accuracy and transparency. Powered by AI, Agrello will be a platform for non-programmers to create their own legally binding blockchain-based smart contracts. Use cases for Agrello's tech include renting and sharing, freelance contracting, orchestrating production flows, and reducing administration costs for multinational corporations.
Adam Efrima, COO of CoindashWith offices in Israel and Shanghai, Coindash will be a social trading platform for crypto assets, offering portfolio management tools for digital asset investors. Features of the platform will include portfolio statistics and management tools, investment automation, an ICO dashboard, and insights into other traders' successful investing strategies. In the upcoming development of Nest Fund, a blockchain-based smart fund by the developers of NEO, Coindash will offer advisory and prediction tools for Nest's modern investors.
Mr. Zhao Chang Peng, CEO of BinanceThe former CTO of OkCoin, Mr. Zhao Chang Peng is starting his own digital asset exchange, hoping to compete with platforms like Poloniex. Calling his new platform Binance, this new exchange will only deal in coin-to-coin transactions, avoiding fiat pairs and therefore avoiding Chinese regulations. In order to maintain a standard in mature digital assets, Binance will only list coins that meet its strict criteria. With a launch planned for later this year, the platform's first traded assets will be bitcoin, ether and NEO.
From the looks, sounds, and energy of the event, NEO has built up some strong momentum going forward. They have one the top blockchain development teams in all of China, with 50 million ANS ($325 million) to support their funding needs and a growing list of partners now aligning by their side. While it may take some time to steal the spotlight from Ethereum, we are sure to see more from this platform in the months to come.The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.

Update to NEO 2.0 Preview2

Today we have an update to NEO/AntShares. Some of you may have noticed that we post a pre-release on Github. To try out the newest version, you can click the link: https://github.com/AntShares/AntSharesCore/releases/tag/v2.0.0-preview2-04
Take a look at the list of what's available in this update:

Overall
●  The projects have been migrated to Visual Studio 2017, and the .Net Core projects have been upgraded to .Net Core 1.1. Now you can build the projects in both the IDE and console. This improves the development experience for Linux developers.
Improvements in smart contract
●  NeoVM now support for arrays and complex structures. This allows NeoContract to perfectly implement the language features of many high-level languages, such as C# and Java.
●  More APIs are added to interop services. Now you can make your contracts more ?smart?. Smart contracts on NEO can access or modify 4 kind of global states in blockchain. They are account states, validator states, asset states and contract states respectively.
●  Private states in storage can be accessed by every contract on the invocation tree. A contract can get its storage context at runtime, which contains the access authority to the storage, and grant it to the invoking target.

Improvements in client
●  We have added a new interface for running smart contracts in ?test mode?. It will estimate the cost of how much gas is it need for running. After that, you just need to pay the right price for the contract, instead of worry about lack of gas and cause execution failure.
●  Multiple bugs are now fixed in this update, including crash, deadlock and fee calculation issue.

What?s next
The new update has been deployed to the testnet. It will be tested for about two weeks. If no serious failure occurs during the test, it will be deployed to the mainnet, and the version will be raised to v2.0. This will be done before the end of July.
The main tasks of Q3 and Q4 are the following:
●  Perfecting the experience of writing smart contracts with Java and Kotlin. We have compilers of Java and Kotlin now, but not integrated with the IDE very well. We will develop some plugins for eclipse or other IDEs to make the development of smart contracts easier. Web development tools are also planned.
●  Making plans to reward community contributors. As you know, NEO is an app platform for smart economy. This means that it requires a large number of developers to build applications based on it. To attract the best developers for community faster, we will reward the developers of good applicions, or invest the projects, or something like that.
●  Making client to run on macOS. We have several clients which can run on Windows, Linux, Android and IOS. Many users asked us for the client for macOS. We'll solve the problem as soon as possible.

are you a longterm NEO ( antshare ) holder ??

Yes, I hold NEO for a long time and supervise the NEO team as a volunteer, ensuring that the interests of the holders will be expressed on some issues! I think it's a powerful contender for ETH, and has done well in the realm of smart contracts!

We all know that to build a platform-level blockchain like NEO, the key is to build an ecology. It’s so important to activate community members and let developers have a try in NEO Contract. So we would start NEO Seed Project in July.



NEO Seed Project

We would start it in July, to motivate community to develop NEO applications. An ecology is the key, and community participation is the key of it. Below is a short description, we would release full project shortly.

-NEO Community
To activate global NEO community via Reddit, BTT, Slack, QQ, etc.

-Formal Tech Community
To start NEO Contract campaigns within .NET/Java community. First trying would be in China.



NEO Blockchain-Landmark

The NEO team is working with INNOSPACE + to build a new Blockchain-Landmark (let’s just name it “NEO Blockchain-Landmark”. INNOSPACE + is located in Shanghai, and is a well-known business incubator brand. In May, NEO team had worked with INOOSPACE + successfully in  launching a blockchain hackathon. In addition to regular monthly activities, INNOSPACE + will also work with the NEO team to provide technology, capital, and a full set of supporting to support for blockchain entrepreneurs.

The most recent "NEO Blockchain-Landmark" event will take place on 15 July at IPOClub in INNOSPACE +. Activities are described below:

Last But Not Least

Thanks very much again to you all NEO Community Members. Let’s start this hot summer together.

[NEOGOOD]

Welcome to visit the official website to understand us
Neo.org

[The Notorious BTC]

Excited to hold Antshares / Neo. Can't help but feel like its going to be BIG

[NEOGOOD]

Spontaneous community, let NEO be healthy, let's take a look at it!



Still very early, but our community of open source developers is growing and has now established channels back to China.
We are still extremely under powered: we need C# devs, testing engineers, distributed system engineers and compiler devs. To work on core blockchain stuff.
Our somewhat cheesy name is City Of Zion (COZ). We invite you to join us both in COZ or to contribute alone (just use us to get testnet ANC/ANS and QA), that is fine also .. but by contributing together, your work will have increased visibility given our established channels. Once reviewed and passed, you'll be able to transfer it yourself to the official repos via a pull request, as you normally would! Erik (the NEO key developer) will review critical code as he is part of our GitHub org also.
Go to the official slack: https://antshares-slack.herokuapp.com and ask to be added to the #dev channel. After receiving the invite the slack is: https://antsharesteam.slack.com
GitHub org is: https://github.com/CityOfZion
I know there is a lot of energy here, but for now we are concentrated on technical development. Branding, design, and marketing have other efforts going on.
All the best!
PS: please don't dm me, just go to slack and talk to people, everybody there know who we are.
