How to buy NEO (NEO)

How to buy NEO (NEO) safely

NEO is a token launched in 2025 that operates on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20). To buy it safely, you must use the correct contract address: 0x01d68079416439cf4aad4ab97f507c483ec4970e. Using the wrong network or a fake contract can lead to a total loss of funds.

Where can you buy NEO?

You can access NEO through the following verified routes:

• PancakeSwap v2 (BSC) (NEO/WBNB)
• Mandala Exchange (NEO/USDT)
• MEXC (NEO/BTC)
• ChangeNOW (NEO/BTC)
• PumpSwap (NEO/SOL)
• pancakeswap (NEO/WBNB)

Step-by-step buying checklist

1. Create an account on a supported exchange.
2. Complete any required KYC. MEXC requires this for its users.
3. Deposit the necessary pair, such as BTC or USDT.
4. Select the NEO trading pair.
5. Verify the contract address if you move tokens to a private wallet.

Fees, liquidity, and withdrawal checks

MEXC lists a 0% trading fee for the NEO/BTC pair. Fees for other routes are not verified.

We have not verified deposit and withdrawal support for these routes. You should check the exchange status before transferring assets.

Before buying: route and token risks

The token contract data is present, but you must verify the address through the official NEO website or explorer.

MEXC has specific country restrictions. It is banned in the US, Canada, and the UK, among others.

Recent news indicates that Upbit suspended deposits and withdrawals for tokens on the NEO N3 network for a hard fork scheduled for July 31. This affects both NEO and GAS tokens.

Common mistakes include:

• Using lookalike contracts or the wrong network.
• Assuming all exchanges support the same network for deposits and withdrawals.
• Ignoring country availability and KYC requirements before opening an account.
