[Erik Zhang Calls for Da Hongfei to Step Down from Leadership Role in the NEO Ecosystem] January 26 News: Erik Zhang, one of the two co-founders of NEO, published a statement saying, 'The meeting with NEO co-founder Da Hongfei has just concluded. The outcome was neither surprising nor pleasant. He proposed so-called "limited cooperation," but provided no substantive content on any key issues. I have clearly put forward three minimum requirements: · Establish an effective and verifiable financial supervision and management mechanism · Abandon the EON project, which is a new project directly competing with NEO · Authorize me to release information through the official website and official X (Twitter) account All three of these demands were explicitly rejected. Under such circumstances, I see no genuine willingness to cooperate, nor any intention to substantially enhance the value of NEO. Given that under his leadership, NEO has been in continuous decline over the past few years, I hereby formally call for Da Hongfei to step down from his leadership role in the NEO ecosystem.'
