In this episode, we explore the NEO Whitepaper, which outlines the vision of NEO as a distributed network for the 'Smart Economy.' NEO combines blockchain technology with digital identity and smart contracts to digitize assets, enable decentralized applications, and foster cross-chain interoperability. We'll discuss its Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerant (dBFT) consensus mechanism, smart contract development framework (NeoContract), and innovations like NeoFS for distributed storage and NeoX for cross-chain functionality. Tune in to learn how NEO is laying the foundation for a secure, scalable, and future-ready blockchain ecosystem that integrates digital assets and identities seamlessly.
