NEO continues to upgrade its foundational infrastructure, such as cross-chain interoperability and virtual machine technologies, driving long-term growth for its ecosystem. Current governance reform controversies are increasing short-term volatility, but once risk events are gradually resolved, transparency and autonomy may improve. The price is currently testing the crucial resistance at $2.90. The extent of price movement depends on trading volume, so it is recommended to monitor governance developments and the $2.70 support level. The long-term outlook remains bullish, but positions should be dynamically optimized.

Recently, NeoFS has improved its initial object placement strategy and renamed key components to boost performance and control precision, adding permanent deletion capabilities and maintenance tools. Unified dApp interface standards and a native wallet authentication mechanism based on URI have been implemented, with mainstream wallets rapidly adopting these features, enabling one-time integration and a universal user authentication process. Cross-chain solutions have embraced the LayerZero architecture, fully deployed on the mainnet and expanded to over 170 networks including Ethereum and Solana. Meanwhile, the parallel operation validation of RISC-V virtual machine alongside classic VM has been completed, ensuring compatibility and paving the way for more efficient contract execution. Multiple technology tracks are advancing simultaneously, effectively enhancing platform scalability, security, and cross-chain liquidity, injecting long-term value into the ecosystem.

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.

Disagreements among founders regarding foundation assets and governance rights have intensified, with multiple reform proposals competing and comparison tools introduced for the community. Topics include on-chain voting, interest exclusion mechanisms, and increased transparency. Meanwhile, the council has approved shortening block times and pausing the drastic fee reduction plan, with the smart contract whitelist process also initiated. As consensus is not reached, an emergency committee has temporarily taken over operational management, significantly increasing governance uncertainty in the short term. This series of turmoil has disturbed market sentiment, and volatility is expected to persist until major decisions are finalized.

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.

The Neo Council approved reducing block time from 15 to 3 seconds, effective early May, with unanimous support from members present. However, a proposed 100x reduction in execution fees was deferred due to a tied vote, pending Neo SPCC’s dynamic opcode pricing in the upcoming Gorgon hard fork. The Council also voted to reduce max transactions per block from 512 to 200 and established a contract whitelisting process for Flamingo Finance.

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.

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 the daily chart, NEO formed a bottom at $2.54 in mid-March and, driven by early technological upgrades and cross-chain integration news, saw increased trading volumes in early April, with price surging above $3.00 before retracing to the $2.70 support. Recently, it rebounded to $2.95, returning to the previous high range and testing the $2.90 resistance. Trading volume is rising alongside price appreciation, indicating short-term bullish sentiment. However, whether an upward trend can be maintained after breaking the key resistance depends on the sustainability of volume and changes in overall macro risk appetite.

Overall, NEO has achieved substantial progress in several aspects, including decentralized storage, wallet standardization, native authentication, security verification, and cross-chain interoperability. The pace of technological iteration is accelerating, aiding in attracting developers and institutions. Although governance disputes have introduced short-term uncertainties, successful implementation of reforms will significantly enhance community autonomy and project transparency, further strengthening ecosystem resilience. With multiple fundamental positives working in synergy, NEO's medium- and long-term value is expected to continue shining.
