Reviving the promise of digital money
NEOLINE is a Layer-1 blockchain focused on micropayments and cross-border value transfer. It targets the three persistent failures of both legacy payment rails and earlier blockchains: high fees, slow settlement, and poor user experience.
By pairing Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus with fast, BFT-based finality, NEOLINE delivers throughput above 5,000 transactions per second, fees of a fraction of a cent, and settlement in under two seconds. The native token NEOL powers fees, staking, governance, and validator rewards.
Why everyday crypto payments still don't work
Fees that break micropayments
On many networks, moving a small amount costs more in fees than the amount itself — making genuine micropayments impossible.
Slow, uncertain settlement
Waiting minutes or hours for final confirmation doesn't match the standard of modern instant payments.
Complexity and risk
Long addresses, raw key management, and no recovery path keep non-technical users out entirely.
Infrastructure designed to disappear
NEOLINE solves these through deliberate architecture and product choices:
- Stable, negligible fees — independent of market volume and congestion, so micropayments stay viable.
- Sub-two-second finality — the recipient knows a payment is settled almost immediately.
- NeoName readable addresses — human identifiers like ali.neo instead of long hex strings.
- Social-recovery wallets — lowering the risk of losing assets to a lost key.
How the network runs
Consensus
NEOLINE uses Delegated Proof of Stake. Token holders vote for validators who produce and confirm blocks. The active set begins at 21 nodes and expands as the network grows.
Fast finality
A BFT finality layer makes each block definitive once two-thirds of validators vote for it — meaning no reorganization is possible after finalization.
Performance targets
| Metric | Target |
|---|---|
| Throughput | 5,000+ TPS |
| Block time | ~0.8 s |
| Finality | < 2 s |
| Average fee | < $0.001 |
Smart contracts
An EVM-compatible VM lets developers port existing contracts and tooling with minimal changes, alongside a lightweight runtime tuned for payment-focused logic.
NEOL — a fixed one-billion supply
Token: NEOLINE · Symbol: NEOL · Total supply: 1,000,000,000 — fixed, no unlimited inflation.
Utility: transaction fees · staking for security & rewards · governance voting · delegation to validators. Team & advisor tokens carry a 12-month lock followed by 36-month linear vesting.
Owned by the people who use it
NEOLINE moves toward decentralized on-chain governance. NEOL holders can submit and vote on upgrade proposals, with voting weight proportional to staked tokens. Proposals that reach the required quorum and majority are executed automatically in the next upgrade cycle.
Where NEOLINE fits
- Everyday micropayments — in-store, online, and subscriptions with negligible fees.
- Cross-border remittance — value transfer between countries with instant settlement, no banking middleman.
- Creator economy — direct, instant payouts to content creators.
- Machine-to-machine — automated payments across IoT and autonomous services.
The line ahead
Foundation
Whitepaper release, testnet launch, early community.
Network launch
Mainnet, staking activation, official wallet.
Ecosystem growth
Developer tooling, grants, payment-gateway integrations.
Mainstream adoption
Business partnerships, cross-chain bridges, fully decentralized governance.
Trust, engineered in layers
Security rests on independent audits of the core protocol and contracts by reputable firms, a bug-bounty program for researchers, and a slashing mechanism that penalizes misbehaving validators to keep participation honest.
