Neo has published several core Neo X repositories on GitHub, marking a new phase of openness and collaboration in the EVM compatibility chain. This move follows the release of Neo X MainNet v0.4.2, which introduced a production-ready implementation of an MEV-tolerant transaction system.
Core repository released
Neo X is developed by Bane Labs, a collaboration between Neo Global Development, Neo SPCC, and AxLabs. The newly published repository includes the chain’s node implementation, bridge contracts, cryptographic libraries, and supporting developer documentation.
The following repositories are publicly available and form the basis of the Neo X interoperable infrastructure that connects Neo N3 (NeoVM) and Neo X (EVM).
- go-ethereum: Neo X node implementation based on geth. Provides full EVM compatibility.
- docs: Technical documentation for Neo X development, deployment, and interoperability.
- Bridge-evm-contracts: Smart contracts that enable cross-chain operations between Neo X and Neo N3 on the EVM side.
- Bridge-neo-contracts: NeoVM contracts that support Neo N3 ↔ Neo X bridge on the Neo side.
- neox-tpke-lib: TypeScript utility for implementing threshold public key cryptography within Neo X.
- neox-tpke-examples: Demo dApps demonstrating TPKE usage and integration examples.
- mpc: Codebase that supports multiparty calculations used in Neo X’s zero-knowledge DKG setup.
- zk-dkg: Zero-knowledge library for Neo X anti-MEV key generation and distributed encryption within Geth nodes.
Development timeline
First introduced at the Neo APAC hackathon in October 2023, Neo X has evolved from a concept to a production network over multiple TestNet and MainNet releases. Its anti-MEV architecture, leveraging envelope transactions, threshold encryption, and dBFT consensus, is designed to enforce fair transaction ordering.
Over the past two years, the Bane Labs team has conducted audits using Red4Sec, BlockSec, Hacken, and Secure3 to validate Neo X’s architecture and interoperability layers.
By open sourcing these repositories, Neo X moves from private development to an open source model that invites participation from developers and researchers.
Looking to the future
Neo X and Neo N3 work together to provide an integrated ecosystem that bridges EVM compatibility with Neo’s dBFT-based consensus and cross-chain framework.
The interoperability stack will soon be extended with an Arbitrary Message Bridge to further extend communication between chains.
