Question 1

What is Neon EVM's current status, and what should NEON holders understand?

Accepted Answer

Neon EVM has entered its wind-down phase. The official announcement states that project development, maintenance, and team operational support ended on October 1, 2026; users and developers relying on Neon EVM should complete any necessary migration or withdrawals by December 31, 2026. The wind-down does not automatically cancel the NEON SPL token on Solana, but the official team no longer guarantees its future utility, liquidity, market value, tradability, or the availability of third-party services.

Question 2

What is NEON?

Accepted Answer

NEON is the native token of Neon EVM. Neon EVM was designed to enable Ethereum-compatible transactions and applications to execute on Solana clusters; within that architecture, NEON was intended both as the payment token for users making transfers, deploying contracts, and calling applications, and as the governance voting token for the Neon DAO. Because the project has ended development and team support, these historical design uses should not be understood as a commitment to continued service.

Question 3

Why did original Neon EVM transactions require NEON, and how were fees formed?

Accepted Answer

In Neon EVM's original execution flow, users first submitted transaction requests to Neon operators; operators wrapped Neon transactions as Solana transactions and executed them in stages on Solana clusters, initially paying the cost of each execution in SOL. Users then settled with operators in NEON, covering Solana validator fees, Neon EVM platform fees, and operator commissions. Official documentation also states that 50% of transaction fees went to Solana validators and 50% to the Neon DAO treasury; this explains how NEON payments connected underlying execution costs and platform fees.

Question 4

How did a NEON governance proposal move from discussion to execution?

Accepted Answer

Under Neon DAO's established process, ideas were first discussed by the community; after gaining support, participants could create a formal on-chain proposal. Once a proposal entered its voting period, participants had to temporarily lock NEON to obtain voting power, at a rate of 1 NEON for 1 vote. For a proposal to pass, yes votes had to exceed both a preset threshold and no votes; after passage, it also had to undergo a hold-up waiting period before any DAO member could execute it. The voting threshold, voting period, waiting period, and minimum token holding required to create a proposal are all governance parameters.

Question 5

What does NEON's historical supply design indicate?

Accepted Answer

Tokenomics materials published in 2023 described NEON as having a fixed total minted supply of 1 billion tokens, with no inflation or deflation rate. A fixed minted amount indicates that the protocol design would not increase that cap through ordinary inflation; it does not mean the market-tradable amount is constant, because the allocations published at the time included lockup and vesting arrangements. These materials help explain the historical issuance design and cannot substitute for current circulating supply, unlock progress, or address balances.

Question 6

How does NEON's role differ on Solana and Neon EVM?

Accepted Answer

NEON is an SPL token on Solana and was also designed within Neon EVM as a native token similar to Ethereum's ETH. These are not two separate NEON assets, but descriptions of the same token's role in different network contexts: on Solana it takes the form of an SPL token, while on Neon EVM it was used for transaction fees. Before transferring or using a wallet, users need to confirm the network and token form supported by the service they use; under the wind-down arrangements, they should also follow official migration and withdrawal instructions and announcements from service providers.
