EARN REWARDS* BY STAKING YOUR NEO

WHY STAKING YOUR NEO

Neo (NEO) is an open-source decentralized blockchain-based platform that enables anyone to create blockchain services and products while offering near-instant transactions. Neo is often compared to Ethereum as the two networks share numerous similarities, including the capacity and tools for creating decentralized applications for various purposes, which, among others, include decentralized exchanges and price markets.
The Neo platform is powered by two native cryptocurrencies, NEO and GAS. NEO is an integral part of network governance as it allows users and network participants to stake their NEO balances and participate in network governance with proposals and votes on proposed changes. GAS is another token native to the network, and it serves the purpose of paying for computational power on the network.

Neo is a decentralized network that uses blockchain technology to digitize assets, offering a platform that merges digital assets, digital identities, and specialized smart contracts. The platform's goal is to create a self-managed smart economy for the future.

Neo utilizes the Proof of Stake consensus mechanism, along with a unique protocol called delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT), to secure its blockchain and maintain synchronization across its distributed network of computers. dBFT operates similarly to delegated proof of stake (DPoS), utilizing a real-time voting system to select which computers running the software can generate the next block on the Neo blockchain. This means that anyone who possesses NEO can contribute to network operation. By leveraging dBFT, Neo can handle a higher number of transactions, up to 10,000 per second, while working between centrally approved nodes.

Each NEO token can be locked, or “staked,” to represent a vote (the more staked NEO, the more voting power.) All owners who stake NEO then vote for the consensus nodes, who are responsible for creating blocks. The current base annual reward rate for NEO is 3% of the total supply.
