NEO Bounty Bonanza & JavaScript Decompiler Drop: 936 NEO Payouts Meet Bytecode Magic

The latest Proof of Working 2.2 report from COZ, dropped on March 17, dished out a hefty 936 $NEO to four independent projects – the largest single distribution since the series rebooted (for comparison, round 2.0 gave 440 $NEO, round 2.1 gave 446 $NEO). In a move that keeps the COZ team from eating their own dog food, these weekly rewards are strictly for recognizing publicly delivered work that actually helps the Neo ecosystem.

The four lucky degens who cashed in are:

• HushNetwork (aboimpinto) – A returning champ from round 2.1, building a privacy-first decentralized social network. The team smoothed out its alpha chat flow, souped up posting features, and gave the UI a fresh coat of paint for its NEP-17 token forge tool, which basically promises one-click token creation for your next questionable community coin.
• Neo Analytics (ethArek) – A public dashboard that turns Neo N3 on-chain chaos into a daily-updated, neatly organized view using deterministic classification rules. This round saw them add dark mode (for staring at charts at 3 AM), switch from raw RPC calls to the Dora SDK, backfill USD swap data, and start spotting oracle transactions.
• Typescript NeoFS SDK (Merl / AxLabs) – Contributors added gRPC-js support and built a protoc-generator plugin for the core package. NeoFS is Neo’s decentralized object-storage network, and this SDK is basically the toolbox TypeScript devs need to start building their own digital hoarding solutions.
• Neo N3 AI Assistant (Fireche) – An AI-powered assistant that lets you manage your wallet and fiddle with smart contracts by just talking to it, because who has time to learn Solidity when you can just ask nicely?

COZ, in a nod to transparency that would make a blockchain blush, published the transaction hash for the distribution, verifiable on the Dora mainnet explorer. The report, however, stays silent on how the 936 $NEO pie was sliced among the four projects. The full details are up for grabs at https://coz.io/blog/proof-of-working-2-2/.

Meanwhile, in a separate but equally nerdy corner of the ecosystem, R3E Network unleashed a JavaScript decompiler SDK for Neo N3 contracts, announced on March 19 by core developer and founder Jimmy Liao. The npm package @r3e/neo-decompiler-js performs the magic trick of converting compiled NEF bytecode back into something resembling human-readable code. R3E plans to bake this tool directly into neo3scan.com, its Neo N3 explorer that launched in late February and already offers script decompilation for transaction details, governance tools, and other dev utilities.

This automatic contract decompilation will let users peek under the hood of deployed contracts even when the source code is kept secret—a feature that's basically table stakes on mature explorers and a godsend for developers and security researchers trying to audit on-chain behavior without going cross-eyed.
