NEO aims to provide a smart economy that not only solves the problem of digitizing assets but also creates a network of trust.
Right now, there are few blockchain platforms that provides decentralized applications but NEO is also one of those platforms that let developers create dApps quite easily. Some of the NEO dApps aim to solve complex real-world problems and revolutionize the use of NEO blockchain.
So, why develop a decentralized application on NEO?
NEO lets developers create dApps without learning any new programming language. That’s a huge boost when it comes to development costs. It also ensures seamless integration with 3rd party apps and services. Not only that new developers who are eager to test their dApps on the NEO blockchain can apply for the need of NEO/GAS. If it gets selected, the developers get the required cryptocurrency to run tests and see the results from themselves. Learn more about the benefits of NEO.
