Neo Founders Escalate Feud Over Treasury Control as Da Plans to Step Back

The Neo Foundation says it will publish an end-2025 financial report in Q1 2026 to address transparency concerns.

Overview

  • Erik Zhang accuses Da Hongfei of withholding Neo Foundation financial details and demands a complete, verifiable disclosure.
  • Da responds that Zhang controls a supermajority of the treasury and directs consensus node voting, arguing that single-person custody endangers governance.
  • Da says he has repeatedly pushed to move NEO and GAS into Neo Foundation multisig wallets since the N3 migration, but the transfer remains uncompleted.
  • The Neo Foundation commits to an end-of-2025 financial report in the first quarter of 2026, with preliminary figures promised before the full release.
  • Zhang says Da will step back from Neo mainnet work on January 1, 2026 to focus on NeoX and SpoonOS, a dispute that observers say has shaken confidence in the project’s governance.
