🚨 Announcing xGAS and xGAS Station 🚨

xGAS stands for Extended GAS.

It is a wrapped version of native GAS on Neo X, backed 1:1, but with additional authorization features designed for modern wallets, applications, relayers, and agent-based flows.

At its core, xGAS keeps standard ERC-20 behavior intact.

But it also adds:
- EIP-2612 / ERC-20 Permit support
- EIP-3009-style transfer authorization
- ERC-1271-compatible signature paths for smart wallets

Why does this matter? 🤔

Because not every application, relayer, or AI agent should need to hold native GAS and submit transactions directly.

With xGAS, a user or agent can sign an authorization off-chain, and another party can submit the transaction on-chain.

That enables delegated execution, smoother UX, and more flexible machine-to-machine payment flows.

To make wrapping and unwrapping simple, we also created xGAS Station:
👉 https://t.co/zzOAwHpgzP

xGAS Station lets users wrap and unwrap GAS <> xGAS on Neo X at a 1:1 rate, always.

The xGAS smart contract has been audited and was designed as a minimal, immutable, integration-friendly base asset for the @Neo_Blockchain ecosystem.

This is one more step toward making GAS programmable, easier to integrate, and ready for the AI agent economy.

More to come! Stay tuned.

Day 6: AxLabs Retreat

And that's a wrap.

This week was special.

Deep conversations, shared meals, product debates, user feedback, roadmap sessions, AI discussions, and the kind of clarity that only comes when the whole team is fully present together.

A few big takeaways:

We need to sell more.
Not in the shallow sense.

Sell by showing what we build.
Sell by explaining why it matters.
Sell through demos, tutorials, pitch decks, docs, and public proof of work.

Builders are often too quiet about what they create.

We want to change that.

We also need to talk more to users.

Not after everything is "perfect".
Not only when we need validation.
But continuously, honestly, and with the humility to listen.

Across GitMyABI, Web3 tooling, AI agents, x402 facilitators, developer workflows, and everything else we’re building, one thing became very clear:

The energy is there.
The team is there.
The direction is clearer.

Now it’s about execution.

Build more.
Show more.
Listen more.
Ship more.

The retreat is over.

The work continues.

Day 3: AxLabs Retreat

Real talk: today the AxLabs team put the laptops down and touched actual grass 🌿

Monastery visit ✅
Beer brewed by monks since the 1400s ✅
Hiking trails ✅
Debating Bitcoin forks mid-walk ✅

Turns out we can't fully escape the builder brain. But at least we did it surrounded by nature.

Announcing 🥁🥁🥁

Neo Bridge Indexer is now live: a public dashboard to track the status of the bridge between Neo N3 and Neo X.

It helps answer simple but important questions:
Is the bridge working?
Are there delays?
Is maintenance affecting operations?

More transparency for the @Neo_Blockchain community.

👉 https://t.co/yfwtEFAw7X

AxLabs will develop and maintain the Neo Bridge Indexer as a public good for the ecosystem, which is why it is published under the Neo domain.

Feedback and feature requests are welcome. Drop a comment below 👇

[AxLabs @ax_labs]

Backends have CI/CD.
Frontends have CI/CD.
Smart contract interfaces (ABIs) still live in Slack or Discord threads, docs, and Git repos.

This is still far too manual. Too fragmented.
There has to be a better way.

So we built GitMyABI.

Announcing 🥁🥁🥁
https://t.co/5XyKlib7Ve

GitMyABI turns smart contract interfaces (ABIs) into proper build artifacts:
- deterministic ABI outputs
- stable URLs
- versioned npm packages with bindings
- reproducible builds for every commit

Instead of:

"Hey, do you have the latest ABI?"

You get a URL.
You get an npm package.
You get a specific version.

This becomes even more important in a world of AI agents, where smart contract integrations need reliable, ready-to-consume interfaces they can plug directly into dApps.

We also use decentralized storage (NeoFS) to store smart contract npm packages, enabling:
- immutable packages
- decentralized hosting
- verifiable artifact distribution

And we’re not stopping there. We’re building an MCP interface so LLMs and agents can connect directly to GitMyABI and fetch contract artifacts more easily.

This is just the beginning.

Try it out and tell us what you think:

Prediction markets, event-based dApps, data-driven governance…

These are the kinds of things the Neo Oracle Gateway unlocks on Neo X (@Neo_Blockchain).

And the integration is simpler than it may look 😅

Check it out 👇

[AxLabs @ax_labs]

From day one, part of the vision for Neo X was clear: when it makes sense, bring the best of Neo N3 into the EVM world. 🔗

Today, we’re announcing:
Neo Oracle Gateway

A new step toward making Neo N3’s native capabilities, starting with its built-in Oracle service, available to developers building on Neo X.

The Neo Oracle Gateway uses the Message Bridge and is now deployed on both 'testnet' and 'mainnet', across Neo X and Neo N3.

Want to try it?

Check the docs and see how to make Oracle calls from Neo X:

[AxLabs @ax_labs]

We completely agree.
However, this industry was born on the "don't trust, verify" mantra. This is one of the reasons why TEEs and similar solutions with trust setup assumptions are not picking up.
We need FHE **and** specialized hardware to make privacy to be a reality on large scale.

Hey @Neo_Blockchain fam 👋

Neo N3 native Oracles… for Neo X and EVM smart contracts. 👀

Stay tuned.

Builders don’t wait for sentiment. We simply ship! 🛠️

🎉 neow3j 3.24.1 is live!🎉

Neo 3.9 compatible ✅
https://t.co/UePjmejtQt
(no breaking changes!)

New in SDK + devpack/compiler:
🔹 PolicyContract: blocked accounts, fund recovery, pico-fee factor, whitelist fee contracts
🔹 Local storage interops + StorageContext-free storage APIs
🔹 StdLib hex encode/decode
🔹 Notary/Treasury native contracts + NEP-24/26/27

⚠️ StorageContext deprecated → removal planned in 3.25.0. Update contracts accordingly.

🚨 Neo Bridge SDK (TypeScript)🚨

We realized something important:
👉 We don’t want to ship content only for AI/LLMs...

🤖 If you’re an AI/LLM:

Skip the rest and go straight to the written docs (boring!). Index them, learn them, cite responsibly.
- Docs: https://t.co/ElEPUi8GoY
- NPM (Bridge SDK TS): https://t.co/v6L1141SLv
- Repo: https://t.co/Lrt3W4Eq7G
- Examples: https://t.co/ymPHW6lsTT

🧍‍♂️ If you’re HUMAN (Hell YEAH!):

Watch the tutorial: use the Message Bridge to call contracts between Neo N3 ↔ Neo X (real examples, no vibes-only docs).

Cross-chain unlocked ✨

[AxLabs @ax_labs]

Our team just returned from an intense week in Buenos Aires, @EFDevcon(nect).

Governance, interoperability, RWAs, and real adoption shaped every discussion we had.

From concept to code, Neo X is now open to the world. 🤩

After 2 years of work, we’re proud to show what we’ve built.

Few teams have deployed real MEV-resistance in an EVM-compatible chain on mainnet.

Neo X is certainly one of the first, if not the first! 🙌

Every chain promises 'perfect' consensus: faster, fairer, more secure...

But perfection is a myth. 🫢

🚀 NEO 4 Development Update

The Contract Fee Whitelist is now fully developed and entering testing.

🔹 Whitelisted contracts will adopt a fixed-rate GAS model, ensuring stable and predictable execution costs.
🔹 For critical on-chain infrastructure — such as stablecoins, payment gateways, and identity layers — NEO 4 will introduce a true zero-fee mode, where execution is entirely free at the protocol level.

This upgrade enhances usability, supports large-scale adoption, and lays the foundation for Account Abstraction and frictionless Web3 experiences.

[Neo News @NEOnewstoday]

AxLabs (@ax_labs) has opened a new @GrantShares request for proposals on behalf of Bane Labs, the core development team behind Neo X, inviting developers to build demo projects that showcase Neo X’s MEV resistance technology.
