On June 22th, Antshares blockchain, China's first ever original and open source public chain project, has been officially renamed NEO. Inspired by the same Greek prefix meaning innovation, modernization and youth, the project wishes to share a similar sentiment. And apparently, one can also take the meaning from the protagonist of ‘Matrix’: Neo, The One who woke up and changed the world.

With the success of Antshares, we hope that this rebranding can usher in a new age of this blockchain. One that puts more emphasis on realizing a smart economy through the use of smart contracts, making registering, distributing and trading digital assets more intelligent.

NEO is best blockchain. It will stronger than ETH soon
