NEO rebranded from AntShares with a clear thesis: the next wave of adoption will come from Asia, and it will be regulated. The dBFT consensus engine prioritises finality and governance, and the new NEO3 architecture streamlined everything from fee models to asset migration. It’s not the wild west of permissionless innovation; it’s the orderly, audited, legally‑compliant cousin that institutional custodians feel comfortable touching. That’s not a compromise — it’s a market strategy. This vault walks the line between idealism and realism, and it does it well.
