🚨 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.

[GitMyABI @gitmyabi]

your frontend works in staging.
fails in production.

you've checked everything.

...except the ABI.

the staging deploy was using a contract interface from 3 commits ago.
nobody knew. nothing flagged it.

this is ABI drift. it's everywhere. most teams just haven't named it yet.

Day 3: AxLabs Retreat

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

Monastery visit ✅

Hiking trails ✅

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

🚀 Day 1: AxLabs 2026 Retreat

What a first day. We kicked things off by diving deep into some of the most relevant problems in tech right now: from supply chain attacks and developer trust, to AI consistency in production workflows and how to actually build products people will pay for.

We debated what makes a builder credible, had honest conversations about MVPs vs. just "announcing things", and explored how crypto payments and ticketing systems could be reimagined with identity-linked ownership.

Also tackled some big questions: how do you reach your first users? How do you price something? What does real traction look like vs. the illusion of it?

Day 1 is done... but things are just getting started over here. 🔥

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:

After trying Omni in the beginning, and now the current version, I’ve got to say it has come a long way. Looks quite promising.

[Neo News @NEOnewstoday]

Bane Labs (@ngd_neo, @ax_labs, @neospcc) has released NeoFS Fund Proxy contracts that enable users and applications on the EVM sidechain Neo X to fund NeoFS storage containers without interacting with Neo N3.
https://t.co/lkNNenaLE0

[AxLabs @ax_labs]

Yet another day, yet another announcement:

NeoFS deposits can now be initiated from Neo X. 🤩

This means users and apps on Neo X can fund NeoFS without needing to interact directly with Neo N3.

As we said before, our goal is to expose the best features of Neo N3 to Neo X. The Message Bridge is a key enabler for this and many other cross-chain use cases.

A small step in UX, a big step toward a more connected Neo ecosystem.

We also updated 3vm dApp (our debugger tool) so you can connect your wallet and deposit GAS to NeoFS from Neo X as a live example.

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.

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]

🥁 Drum roll, please! 🥁

We're excited to announce TypeScript SDKs for NeoFS!

This lowers the barrier for dApp developers to build with NeoFS... and yes, it also means your LLM may waste fewer tokens trying to figure out how to glue everything together... 😅

A special thanks to @merl_111, who originally developed these libraries. AxLabs will continue maintaining them with support from @merl_111. 👏

A big thanks as well to @neospcc for their awesome work with NeoFS! 👏

@gsmachado Ohhhh yeahhhh!

[Guil. Sperb Machado @gsmachado]

I'm happy to share that as of January 2026, I've taken a new role as an Expert for Innosuisse, the government-backed Swiss Innovation Agency (https://t.co/qlhmBtXDan).

This is a big honor, and an even bigger responsibility, given that Innosuisse is funded by public money.

In this role, I'll review funding applications for innovation projects and provide independent recommendations to the Innosuisse Innovation Council.

Basically, I'll bring my expertise across the technology sector (blockchain/Web3, fintech, cryptography, infra/networks, AI, and more) to help assess whether Swiss society, through Innosuisse, should invest in a given innovation project.

Yeah, it still gives me shivers to think about it. 😅

Switzerland has been my home for many years now, and it gave me space to grow both personally and professionally. At the same time, I was raised in Brazil, and I carry that with me every day. Both places shaped my mindset, my resilience, and how I approach building and thinking out of the box.

For a long time, I've seen innovation from many angles. I've learned that "good ideas" are not enough. Execution, strong teams, timing, and vision truly matter.

I've seen this play out many times:

- in academia and research (PhD + projects funded in Switzerland and in Europe),
- in companies (startups/corporates, product teams, and solving problems for customers),
- in venture capital & family office contexts (fundraising, technical due diligence, and risk analysis),
- in cutting-edge setups like grant DAOs in Web3, where people still evaluate ideas, teams, and impact, just with different tools, rules, and assumptions.

Being selected as an Expert for Innosuisse feels like a pivotal moment in my journey, and also a chance to give back to the country that taught me so much.

This is an on-demand, part-time engagement, alongside my ongoing projects and ventures as an entrepreneur/builder.

My focus stays the same: building and growing @ax_labs.

But, additionally, I'm grateful to dedicate part of my time to support Swiss innovation, one of the most innovative countries on earth, in a new and meaningful way.

I'm excited, humbled, and honestly… I feel hungry. Hungry to contribute, and also to learn even more through this role.

🇨🇭

We’re proud to have @gsmachado at @ax_labs, having his broad experience, builder mindset, and high standards.

Congrats on the role! 👏🇨🇭
