PANews May 17th News, according to the official blog, Neo is developing a sidechain called Neo X with high security and compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Before the official launch of the mainnet, Neo invites developers to participate in the Neo X testnet bug bounty program. The program starts today and will continue until the release of the Neo X mainnet. This bug bounty program is targeting three main components of Neo X: the consensus layer, native cross-chain bridges between Neo N3 and Neo X, and the governance protocol. This bug bounty program does not include vulnerabilities in the frontend or third-party services, such as wallets, centralized databases, indexes, or blockchain explorers. The severity of vulnerabilities and their potential impact on the normal operation of the network are divided into three levels: critical vulnerabilities (with a maximum reward value of 5,000 GAS per vulnerability), major vulnerabilities (with a maximum reward value of 2,000 GAS per vulnerability), and minor vulnerabilities (with a maximum reward value of 2,000 GAS per vulnerability). Different levels of vulnerabilities will receive GAS tokens with different values as rewards. There is no limit to the total reward.

Golden Ten Data reported on May 8 that analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects that Nvidia's (NVDA.O) next-generation AI chip R series/R100 will be mass-produced in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the system/cabinet solution is expected to be mass-produced in the first half of 2026. The R100 will be manufactured on TSMC's N3 process in a CoWoS-L package (the same as the B100). The R100 is expected to be paired with eight HBM4 units. NVIDIA has understood that the energy consumption of AI servers has become a challenge for CSP/Hyperscale procurement and data center construction, so the R series chip and system solutions, in addition to improving AI Computing Power, energy consumption improvement is also the focus of design.

According to official news, the Open SourceBlockchain platform Neo announced the launch of the Alpha version of the Neo X Testnet. Neo added several key enhancements to the testnet to improve its performance and user experience. The alpha release introduces stability improvements, such as multi-NodeConsensus, and also introduces an interoperability layer from the Neo N3 Testnet to the Neo X Testnet that allows users to migrate Token.
