Driven by ongoing protocol-level upgrades and the improvement of cross-chain capabilities, NEO’s fundamentals are being steadily strengthened, laying a solid foundation for increased network activity and asset liquidity in the medium to long term, providing structural support for value appreciation. In the short term, uncertainties stemming from governance disagreements have significantly heightened volatility risk, making it essential to guard against the impacts of emotional trading. Technically, NEO has effectively broken through the key $3.00 resistance. If volume supports and price holds this level, there is potential for further short-term upside, with $3.30 as the next target and $2.85 as key support below. Medium-term positioning should focus on fundamental improvement progress, while short-term strategies must dynamically manage potential disruptions from governance events.

Recently, a series of underlying protocol and SDK updates have been implemented, including the release of a new version for storage nodes, the introduction of unified dAPI standards and lightweight authentication protocols, as well as functional validation of containerized object management and the RISC-V virtual machine solution. These upgrades optimize object placement strategies, API compatibility, and execution performance, while offering more options for cross-chain scalability and smart contract execution, significantly boosting developer and enterprise confidence in the network. Systematic protocol refinement, wallet interface standardization, and the integration of cross-chain features are expected to enhance ecosystem activity and asset liquidity in the medium to long term, providing solid support for NEO’s value.

Neo SPCC released neofs-node v0.52.0 with initial placement policy support, enhanced maintenance tooling, and breaking configuration changes, improving granular object placement and API 2.22 compatibility. The update renames neofs-lens to neofs-lancet with expanded control features, optimizes performance, and introduces permanent deletion of unpaid container objects. Accompanying updates include neofs-sdk-go v1.0.0-rc.18 and GitHub Actions integrations with breaking changes and bug fixes.

Erik Zhang, Neo co-founder, has finalized NEP-21, a standard providing a unified interface for Neo N3 dApps to communicate with wallet providers. This solves the issue of inconsistent wallet integration by enabling a single wallet integration for all compliant wallets, improving user experience and lowering barriers for wallet developers. NEP-21 defines methods for authentication, contract invocation, message signing, and event notifications, with a discovery mechanism for dApps and wallets. It currently supports Neo N3 MainNet and TestNet.

Neo co-founder Erik Zhang has introduced NEP-33, completing a trio of Neo Enhancement Proposals that standardize wallet authentication. NEP-33 defines a URI-based transport mechanism (neoauth://) allowing native apps to invoke wallet apps for user authentication, addressing the entry point for authentication requests. This standard reduces fragmentation, enabling developers to integrate wallet authentication universally, with security ensured by NEP-20 cryptographic verification and explicit user approval.

NeoLine has released v5.8.1 of its Chrome extension wallet, becoming the first in the Neo ecosystem to fully support NEP-21, the unified dAPI standard finalized by Neo co-founder Erik Zhang. This update enables a consistent interface for dApps to communicate with wallets, solving fragmentation issues on Neo N3. It includes standardized provider discovery, error handling, and covers authentication, account management, contract invocation, and more, streamlining wallet integration for developers.

Neo X has integrated with LayerZero’s omni-chain infrastructure, enabling cross-chain interactions, liquidity flow, and composable applications across over 170 blockchain networks. This MainNet integration, announced by Neo Global Development, follows successful TestNet deployment and expands Neo X’s connectivity beyond its native ecosystem to include EVM chains, Solana, and Sui. The partnership supports Neo X’s AI agent strategy by facilitating multi-network asset and protocol interactions.

A NeoVM-compatible RISC-V virtual machine solution for Neo 4 has successfully passed block-by-block state root verification against the full Neo MainNet dataset, confirming functional equivalence with the existing NeoVM. Developed by integrating PolkaVM into Neo’s environment, this milestone validates a dual-path approach to expand Neo’s VM capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility, enabling both legacy and native RISC-V contract execution.

The founders are publicly contesting over the restructuring and operational management of the Foundation: one proposes a unified governance and equity transfer plan, while the other has set up a temporary emergency committee to take over the Foundation and ensure ecosystem continuity. The split among community factions has made consensus on the governance framework difficult in the short term, increasing market concerns over uncertainty and fueling emotional trading. Although the long-term direction of reform is becoming more transparent, during the stage of dual proposals and bargaining, assets may face intermittent pressure and volatility.

Neo, a veteran blockchain project, faces deep-rooted governance and financial controversies as its founders clash, prompting a comprehensive foundation restructuring proposal by founder Da Hongfei. The plan aims to unify on-chain and off-chain governance, introduce staking voting to exclude speculators, sever founder control by transferring assets to the foundation, and enhance transparency and efficiency. This year-long reform seeks to restore community trust, decentralize power, and set a precedent for mature, accountable crypto project management.

Saying goodbye to the founder era, Neo ushers in a true restructuring.

Erik Zhang, Neo co-founder, announced on April 14 the formation of a temporary emergency committee with core developers and community leaders to take over Neo Foundation operations due to dysfunction, unpaid staff, and his own suspended salary. This move escalates a governance dispute with co-founder Da Hongfei, following competing reform proposals. The committee aims to manage funds and ensure ecosystem continuity, with dissolution contingent on community acceptance of either governance proposal.

On April 14, Neo community initiatives launched tools to aid stakeholders in comparing and discussing governance reform proposals from co-founders Da Hongfei and Erik Zhang. These include a comparison website detailing 21 governance topics, a draft alignment proposal identifying 11 shared principles, and seven GitHub discussion issues focusing on specific themes. The efforts aim to clarify positions, highlight common ground, and foster community input to reconcile differences in Neo's governance reform.

Since early April, NEO has formed a series of higher highs and higher lows on the daily chart. Following a significant volume surge and marked price increase on April 10, the price broke through the $2.90 resistance. On April 16, news of cross-chain integration triggered a new wave of buying, leading to another strong move toward the $3.00 level, with the closing price on April 17 reaching $3.025—its highest close in nearly two months. Short-term moving averages are aligned in a bullish configuration, and trading volume has visibly increased during the pivotal breakout, confirming upward momentum. If NEO consolidates above $3.00 with continued volume support, the uptrend is likely to persist. Key support below lies around $2.85.

It’s not a given that the European Central Bank’s next move on interest rates will be a hike, according to Governing Council member Martins Kazaks.
