NEO ^{$ 11.73741 (+0.0056)}

NEO is Chinese smart economy platform with possibility to use digital assets and to manage them via smart contracts. It is also called “Chinese Ethereum” because there are many similarities between these two currencies. However, the difference which makes NEO competitive in the market place, is the support of popular programing languages (like Java and C#). It is easier for developers to work with NEO, than Ethereum, which has his own language: “Solidity”. Another particular feature of NEO is its double hashing algorithm (SHA256 and RIPEMD160). These hash functions are differently combined to generate block/transaction hash values and contract addresses.
