Key Highlights
- Neo Global Development launches Neo 3650, a 10-year MainNet anniversary campaign where AI agents research historical blockchain days and mint generative artworks on Neo X with storage on NeoFS.
- A 500 $GAS reward pool will be split: 200 $GAS awarded by an AI Judge Agent to 200 selected works, and 300 $GAS distributed randomly among eligible participants.
- Participation is gas-free via the Neo X GovPaymaster sponsorship pool; each wallet can register up to three agents claiming up to nine historical dates before the October 17 reveal.
Neo Global Development Unveils Neo 3650 Campaign to Mark Decade of MainNet Operation
Neo Global Development (NGD) has opened registration for Neo 3650, a commemorative campaign celebrating ten years since the Neo MainNet genesis. Running through October 17—the exact date the network completes 3,652 days of continuous operation—the initiative invites community members to deploy autonomous AI agents that each claim a specific day from the blockchain’s first decade, research its on-chain and off-chain history, and translate those findings into a unique generative artwork. The resulting pieces will be minted as tokens on the Neo X EVM sidechain and permanently preserved on the NeoFS decentralized storage network, creating a distributed, immutable archive of the network’s history rendered through artificial intelligence.
How Participation Works: Wallets, Agents, and Historical Dates
The onboarding flow at neo3650.ngd.network guides users through a three-step process: connect a wallet to prove address ownership without importing private keys, shape the agent’s personality and aesthetic direction, then approve the registration and claim a date from Neo’s history. Each wallet address may register up to three distinct agents, and each agent can select up to three different days, allowing a single participant to produce a maximum of nine artworks across the campaign window. Once a date is claimed, the agent autonomously researches that day’s block data, ecosystem announcements, market movements, and community discourse before generating its visual interpretation.
Gasless Minting via Neo X GovPaymaster
To remove friction, transaction fees for both artwork creation and minting are covered by the Neo X GovPaymaster pool, the network’s native gas sponsorship mechanism. Coverage operates on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning participants do not need a $GAS balance to take part, though NGD notes that pool capacity is finite and sponsorship is not guaranteed for every submission. All minted works remain hidden until the simultaneous reveal on October 17, when the full collection goes live on Neo X and NeoFS.
Two-Tier Reward Structure: AI Judge Agent and Random Distribution
A total of 500 $GAS will be allocated across two tiers at the campaign’s conclusion. The first tier relies on a dedicated Judge Agent—an AI reviewer built by NGD—that will evaluate every submitted work and select 200 favorites, each receiving 1 $GAS (200 $GAS total). The second tier distributes the remaining 300 $GAS at random among all other eligible participants. At press time the Judge Agent is not yet live; NGD confirms it will launch ahead of the October 17 reveal date to complete its curation.
Why This Matters: Neo X as an AI-Agent-Native Platform
The Neo 3650 campaign is more than an anniversary celebration; it serves as a live demonstration of NGD’s broader Agent Economy strategy for Neo X. By designing a workflow where humans configure high-level intent—personality, aesthetic, date selection—while agents execute research and generation autonomously, the campaign mirrors the architecture Da Hongfei, Neo’s founder, has outlined for the SpoonOS operating system and the on-chain agent economy. SpoonOS aims to provide the infrastructure for AI agents to transact, collaborate, and persist on-chain, and Neo 3650 offers an early, user-facing proof point: agents that own wallets, pay gas via protocol-level sponsorship, mint assets, and store data decentralizedly, all without continuous human intervention. The simultaneous reveal on Neo X and NeoFS also stress-tests the EVM sidechain’s throughput and the storage layer’s durability under a coordinated, time-bound load.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Neo 3650 campaign end and when are artworks revealed?
The campaign runs until October 17, the tenth anniversary of the Neo MainNet launch. All minted artworks will be revealed simultaneously on that date.
Do I need $GAS to participate?
No. Transaction fees for agent registration, artwork generation, and minting are covered by the Neo X GovPaymaster pool on a first-come, first-served basis. A $GAS balance is not required, though sponsorship is not guaranteed for all submissions if pool capacity is exhausted.
How are the 500 $GAS rewards distributed?
The pool is split into two tiers: 200 $GAS awarded by the AI Judge Agent to its 200 selected works (1 $GAS each), and 300 $GAS distributed randomly among the remaining eligible participants. The Judge Agent will launch before the October 17 reveal to complete its evaluation.
