Hello Nerons,

July was a landmark month. A chapter turned. A token born.From live AMAs to Layer 1 liftoff, NERO Chain crossed the threshold into full activation. With $NERO now circulating across major exchanges and embedded into real-world use cases — travel, loyalty, gaming, and more — this month wasn’t just about launch. It was about ignition.

Token, Momentum

$NERO is live.

At 07:00 UTC on July 28, NERO Chain officially launched its Token Generation Event (TGE) — with our native token, $NERO, simultaneously listed on Bitget, Gate, and MEXC.But this wasn’t just a listing. It was the activation of a new Layer 1 economic layer — one powered by modular design and native account abstraction.With gas-flexible infrastructure and self-monetizing dApps, NERO enables applications to do more than just live on-chain. They thrive, capture value, and return it to their users. This is not just Web3 infrastructure. It’s value architecture.

TGE AMA & WaveHack Debrief

On July 27, nearly a hundred developers, dreamers, and die-hard Nerons gathered for a one-hour TGE AMA on Discord, hosted by CEO Jake and DevRel Lead Marcus. From stealth batching to anchor projects, we looked back at Waves 3–5 and looked ahead to what’s next for $NERO’s trajectory. 5×500 $NERO were awarded to the most engaged participants. The conversation didn’t end with the AMA — it ignited a new wave of repo forks and builder buzz.

June Samurai Recap

Before July closed the curtain, we reflected on the creative sparks ignited by our Samurai Ambassadors in June — a dynamic group of writers, thinkers, and visual storytellers who helped propel the NERO narrative forward. Over the month, their efforts resulted in the creation of dozens of impactful works. As a testament to their contributions, our Samurais received well-deserved upgrades and airdrop rewards, further enhancing their involvement in the NERO community.

Ethereum Turns 10

On July 30, we celebrated a decade of Ethereum. NERO stands on the shoulders of this giant — now pushing the frontier of EVM evolution with modular gas and new economic logic.

Looking Ahead

July didn’t just mark a token launch. It signaled the rise of a modular movement.

From Bitget to Hanoi, from builder packs to business rails — NERO Chain is now in motion, and there’s no turning back.

August brings a new chapter of integrations, governance evolutions, and surprises. The chain is live. The story is ours. Let’s write it together.
