Neo’s unique dual token mechanism separates the rights to govern and the rights to use the network. You can vote in Governance with one token ($NEO) and pay transaction fees with the other ($GAS). This system shares the right to manage and use the blockchain. It also provides a means of acquiring the tokens – voting.
This guide will show you how to passively acquire much more GAS tokens with NEON wallet.
What Is NEO?
Neo is an open-source community-driven blockchain platform. Neo was one of the first blockchains to support smart contracts. The initial Neo Smart Economy aimed to automate the management of digital assets through smart contracts, with the eventual aim of building a distributed network-based smart economy system.
What is the NEON Wallet?
The NEON Wallet is an open-source, cross-platform light wallet for the public Neo blockchain network that was developed by the City of Zion group on Github. The NEON Wallet is one of the most popular wallets among the Neo blockchain community. It allows users to receive, store and send Neo-based tokens, as well as access the various N3 dApps.
Why Vote with NEO?
Every new block, 5 GAS tokens are minted and split between three groups:
- 10% goes to Neo Token Holders.
- 80% goes to Voters.
- Another 10% goes to Council Members.
As you can see, Voters receive the biggest share of Gas tokens. Voting on NEO N3 is hugely beneficial as it allows you to earn much more rewards, than if you simply let your NEO tokens sit in your wallet.
How to Create a NEON Wallet?
Visit NEON wallet and download the app. Open the app. Pick the N3 network and click Create Wallet.

Step 2: Log In and Top Up the Balance
1. Enter your wallet’s name and password and click Login.
