The final five names included: Bane Network, Neo Paradox, NEO X, NeoForge, and TRINITY. Additionally, NGD released the list of 100 randomly selected advocates who participated in the Neo Galxe Campaign and won a US $10 equivalent in tokens.

WalletConnect support was added to the Neo Governance portal, allowing users to vote for Neo Council members from Neon Wallet and any other Neo wallet that supports the WalletConnect protocol.

Forthewin Network launched the ftwNEO bridge, which allows users to migrate NEO to Polygon or Ethereum and earn NEP rewards for yield.

Flamingo launched a new monthly Zealy competition offering $1,000 in prizes. Participants are required to complete missions to climb the leaderboard and earn XP. At the end of the event, the top 100 participants will receive distributions of GAS and FLM tokens based on rank.

A new proposal was opened on GrantShares to add the multi-sig address made up of all GrantShares voting members as a treasury funder address so that it can send funds to the treasury contract.
