This Blockchain Is Going the Way of the Dodo—Here’s What You Must Do Before October!

Imagine, if you will, a grand and noble blockchain. Neo Legacy, born in 2016, fresh-faced and optimistic, bustling with digital hopes, dreams, and transactions. Fast-forward to today—and, well, it’s time to pack up the pixelated tents. By October, Neo Legacy will have lovingly shuffled off this digital coil, shooed on by the project’s insatiable desire for progress (and, let’s be honest, shinier toys).

In a heartwarming display of digital closure, the venerable Neo blockchain, known in its twilight years as “Legacy,” will be gracefully retired by the end of October. Old code never dies, it just stops updating. Users and developers are being politely (read: emphatically) told to hustle their precious assets and beloved smart contracts over to Neo N3. Yes, before the Big Shutdown, unless you fancy the idea of your tokens embarking on a permanent existential vacation. 🪦💸

Since 2016, Neo Legacy has produced more than 14 million blocks, processed over 281 million transactions, and supported nearly 3 million addresses—presumably some of them accidentally created by ambitious cats walking on keyboards. The stats were delivered in a heartfelt X post—even blockchain announcements have to fit into 280 characters these days.

Of course, as with any good “out with the old, in with the new” scenario, Neo Legacy hands the metaphorical baton to Neo N3, which strutted onto the scene in June 2021. Testnet? Gone June 1st. Mainnet? Bye-bye on October 31st. The Neo team’s announcement comes with about as much subtlety as a wizard with a foghorn.

“After the shutdown, block production on Neo Legacy will come to a permanent halt. Users will no longer be able to transfer assets, migrate tokens to other networks, or deploy and develop smart contracts on the network. All core functionalities will cease.”

Neo (Definitely Not Crying)

Before Neo Legacy is loaded onto the boat to the blockchain Valhalla, a “final snapshot” will be taken, because every great tale deserves a commemorative photo (or, in this case, a ledger entry). The Neo team urges—nay, beseeches—everyone to move to N3 like it’s the last lifeboat on the Titanic. Failure to migrate means your digital assets will take up residence in the “Eternal Void of Lost Things.” Not even a wizard can retrieve them from there.

For those whose spirit animals are lost socks, Neo assures it will work with exchanges and provide migration support through official portals and its loyal, possibly caffeine-fueled Discord community. Good luck, brave blockchainers! 🧙‍♂️🚀
