By the people, for the people

Neo is becoming a more decentralized blockchain through its new on-chain governance mechanism.

NEO holders participate in governance by voting in a Neo Council to manage the Neo Blockchain. The Neo Council will consist of council members and consensus nodes who provide services, maintain the liveliness of the network, and adjust critical blockchain params. GAS rewards will be distributed to both NEO votes and council members.
