🧠 NEO and the Smart Economy Revival Once hailed as the “Ethereum of China,” $NEO aimed to fuse digital assets, verified identities, and smart contracts into a unified Smart Economy — years ahead of its time. But today, it’s fighting for a comeback in a landscape that’s evolved far beyond its early dominance. 🔄 The Comeback Strategy After years in the shadows, NEO is betting on two key pillars to revive growth: 1️⃣ Neo N3 Upgrade — delivers massive performance gains with 100x lower fees and higher throughput. 2️⃣ Neo X EVM Sidechain — brings Ethereum compatibility, allowing liquidity and dApps from the broader EVM ecosystem to flow into NEO. 📊 By the Numbers Price: $5.26 From ATH: –97% (ATH $198.38) Market Cap: $371M FDV: $527M 24h Volume: $29M 💡 Token System NEO retains its distinctive dual-token model: ✅ $NEO — fixed 100M supply, used for governance ✅ $GAS — inflationary, used for transaction fees Stakers earn 80% of new $GAS emissions, creating real yield potential if network usage returns. 🚨 The Challenge Adoption remains critically low: <9,000 active wallets on Neo X <300 daily transactions Minimal transparency and weak developer traction 🔍 What’s Next? The next six months will define whether NEO’s AI collaboration with ChainGPT and its revamped architecture can spark a genuine Smart Economy revival — or if it remains a nostalgic relic of crypto’s early dreams. $NEO $ETH @EdgenTech
