Founded by Da Hongfei, the NEO team is one of the most highly valued around. Originally it was named AntShares and was even considered "China's first blockchain platform."

For those that don't know what NEO is... Think of NEO similar to Ethereum in the sense of smart contracts; however, NEO has taken it a step further. For one thing it closes some vulnerability gaps the Ethereum has. NEO is taking the approach of getting on the Chinese government's good side and basically teaming up with them.
