Should You Hold NEO for the Long Term?

It is a network of the smart economy where the sole purpose of NEO is to trade, circulate and register different types of assets on its blockchain. Erik Zhang and Da Hongfei developed it, and users can store and exchange digital assets on this platform. It was initially known as AntShares and later rebranded as NEO in 2017.

It hosts smart contacts, a self-executing agreement for exchanging digital goods and assets. On this platform, transactions are verified digitally without any third-party interference. Moreover, the contracts are written as computer codes and stored on a blockchain. Interestingly it also supports dApps.

Many analysts find similarities between NEO and Ethereum. However, the advantage of NEO is that it allows smart contracts to be written in different programming languages, including Python, Java, and C#, but Ethereum allows only one programming language.

NEO transactions are faster than Ethereum, so many developers use the NEO network as an alternative to Ethereum. There are two types of tokens on this network- NEO is behind computational programming that powers the project, whereas gas is used to pay fees on the network.
