How are NEO smart contracts different from Ethereum Smart Contracts_
                     How are NEO smart contracts different from Ethereum Smart 
Contracts?
What is NEO?
       NEO, formerly known as AntShares is defined as an Open Source 
Blockchain Development Company Decentralized Application Platform . Founded in 
2014 by Da HongFei and Erik Zhang, it was originally developed to create a Blockchain 
application platform. Also in order to create a smart contract system to issue and manage 
digitized assets called Neo Contract. His project vision is based on establishing a smart 
economy through the implementation of smart contracts based on Blockchain technology.
ETHEREUM
          Ethereum created one of the most exciting technologies in the blockchain industry: 
smart contracts. This has helped the network gain wide adoption. Ethereum is now the 
most popular platform on the planet for creating and executing smart contracts. Smart 
contracts refer to code that helps support complex tasks like exchanging goods, money, or 
other similar assets. It also works in the development of Decentralized Autonomous 
Organizations (DAO) .They follow a predefined program without any interference by 
fraud or third parties.
How does NEO work?
        The NEO network works with a decentralized proof-of-stake algorithm between 
several centrally approved nodes, called Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerant. It is known 
to be a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism . In Smart Contract Migration 
NEO, almost 2 million blocks are created annually. That is, on average, one block every 
15 to 20 seconds . Currently this network chain is capable of processing 1000 transactions 
per second, a good number for an open and decentralized network.
MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NEO AND ETHEREUM
They make use of different algorithms.
         NEO uses Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance which is an improved form of the 
PoS consensus mechanism unlike Ethereum which uses a more power-heavy and 
expensive Proof-of-Work mechanism. Recently, Ethereum has made progress in adopting 
a proof-of-stake algorithm that will increase its speed and energy efficiency, but it still 
does not compare to NEO.
Support for
Another difference between these two is their backing. NEO is backed by the Chinese 
government which has led to its high popularity and acceptance in China and 
consequently gives NEO the edge to capitalize on the huge Chinese market. It is only 
supported by the EEE-Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, which helps popularize its successes 
on global platforms.
Functional and technical difference
NEO cannot undergo a hard fork, while Ethereum has already split into two: Ethereum 
and Ethereum Classic . Functionally, NEO is superior to Ethereum.
language
NEO smart contracts and DApps can be written in multiple programming languages  
including Java, C# etc.
Divisibility
NEO only exists in integers and cannot be split on decimals, in contrast to Ethereum 
which uses crypto-fuel, and can be split on decimals.
CONCLUSION
Which is better: NEO or Ethereum?
        At this point, it's hard to say which one is better. It's also tempting to invest in both, 
because both projects are open source, Turin-complete, and highly supported by the 
community. NEO has stated its reason for positioning itself to be in constant and direct 
competition with Ethereum. However, both must focus on lacking mainstream adoption. 
In technology aspects, Ethereum is well positioned in the crypto market. No one knows 
what their respective future is; Considering the grand scheme of things, both NEO and 
Ethereum are relatively new, and there is certainly room for both altcoins in the 
cryptosphere. It is also necessary that both keep their big promises. When this happens, we 
will surely have a clear idea of w hich cryptocurrency network is better.
