Neo co-founder Zhang Zhengwen announced the governance structure and financial status, and announced his return to mainnet management.

NEO's two founders, Erik Zhang and Da Hongfei, have accused each other of monopolizing financial power and lacking transparency. Zhang stated that he will return to the Neo mainnet for full management to defend the core rights of NEO/GAS holders. Simultaneously, Zhang disclosed the current NEO governance structure and the status of its accounts. Zhang stated that the vast majority of the Neo Foundation's NEO and GAS assets are currently publicly distributed across 21 initial node addresses and one multi-signature wallet. Previously, during Da Hongfei's request for Zhang to withdraw from foundation management, approximately 8 million NEO/GAS tokens were transferred to multiple multi-signature addresses designated by Da Hongfei at Zhang's request. Apart from the aforementioned transparent NEO/GAS, all auxiliary assets held by the Neo Foundation (including but not limited to BTC, ETH, and other ecosystem project tokens) are currently under Da Hongfei's actual personal control. Zhang Zhengwen stated that this part of the assets has been in a "black box" state for many years, and Da Hongfei has so far failed to provide any verifiable financial statements, asset lists, or audit certificates.
