How to buy and use Neon EVM (NEON) on its native network

Neon EVM is a cryptocurrency launched in 2023. It operates on the Solana platform to bring Ethereum-compatible smart contract capabilities to the network. Users can hold NEON as a token on Solana or interact with the Neon EVM ecosystem.

What the native network does

Neon EVM is built on Solana. Solana is a blockchain that uses a proof-of-history consensus mechanism. This system uses timestamps to define the next block in the chain.

The goal of Neon EVM is to allow Ethereum-based projects to build on Solana. This includes DeFi protocols and infrastructure. Projects such as Curve and Sobal have started building on the platform. Because it relies on Solana, Neon EVM is impacted when the Solana network experiences downtime.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

NEON exists on the Solana platform. You must use a wallet that supports the Solana network to hold the token.

The verified token address on Solana is: NeonTjSjsuo3rexg9o6vHuMXw62f9V7zvmu8M8Zut44.

Before making any transfer, check the network and contract address. Using a lookalike address or the wrong network can result in a permanent loss of funds. You can use the official explorer to verify transactions and addresses.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving tokens from an exchange to a private wallet carries specific risks.

Deposit and withdrawal support for NEON is not verified for the exchanges listed above unless the exchange explicitly states it in their current interface. You should not assume that every exchange supports the same network for withdrawals.

Other risks include:

• Contract verification: Always verify the contract address through the official website before transferring funds.
• Regional availability: KYC requirements and account features vary by country.
• Network stability: As noted, Solana downtimes affect the availability of Neon EVM.
