Free the Bird goes live on Neo N3
Free the Bird launched on Neo N3 MainNet this week. The exchange is keyless, oracle-less, and non-custodial, built by Neo community member Xatoxi. It offers live trading, staking, governance, and an FTB token claim for former Flamingo Finance users. The claim covers 5,233 eligible wallets. The project came as a response to Flamingo Finance’s August exploit and the platform’s uncertain status, according to the update.
Developer tooling and GrantShares proposals
Neo released Neo DevPack v3.10.2 for .NET. This is the official toolkit for writing Neo N3 smart contracts in C#. Its compiler, nccs, turns C# source into NeoVM bytecode and creates a contract manifest. On GrantShares, two proposals are in discussion but not yet on-chain. One is a browser dungeon game asking for 2,586.2 GAS to build ten rooms, launch a beta on Neo X MainNet, and cover player transaction fees. The other is Neo Payment Watcher, a non-custodial payment service for Neo N3 and Neo X. It asks for 1,400 GAS to develop BTCPay Server and WooCommerce plugins for merchants.
Community campaigns and wallet tools
SpoonOS started its Arena trading campaign. Participants set up an AI agent on predict.spoonai.io to trade Premier League prediction markets on Predict.fun. The campaign has a 500 USDT loss coverage pool, covering up to 10 USDT in eligible losses per person. It also offers a bonus pool of up to 30 USDT per participant for sharing their experience on X. The campaign runs through Nov. 18. SpoonOS also rewarded eight community testers from a testing period that ran Oct. 26 through Nov. 2. Frank Coin held a Telegram games session, and Neo HODLers distributed launch event rewards. nDapp reported that network users claimed 60,514.07578267 GAS this week, while on-chain activity burned 502.48991905 GAS.
Code releases and consensus work
COZ released onesig, an open-source JavaScript library. It derives a deterministic session wallet from a single owner signature. That lets developers create agent wallets for autonomous on-chain operations without backend infrastructure. Neo SPCC shipped NeoFS S3 gateway v0.48.1. The patch fixes a PostObject panic on malformed multipart forms and stale object-name cache entries for deleted objects. The object-name cache is now disabled by default. Jimmy Liao, R3E Network founder and Neo core developer, said he is building an AI agent into neo-rs at the consensus layer. The agent watches consensus state, finds problematic transactions during repeated view changes, and drops them from the node’s own consensus round without human input.
