What is Neon Labs? Neon Labs is the first EVM built on Solana and ushers in a new era of growth for Solana. So what is the reason for us to propose that Neon Labs opens a new era for Solana? Let’s find out in the article below.
What is Neon Labs?
Neon Labs is an EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) virtual machine infrastructure solution built on Solana’s ecosystem. Neon Labs allows projects on Ethereum to easily expand to Solana’s network, and developers who are familiar with Sodility can also work on Solana without having to learn Rust, saving time and effort.
Simply imagine Neon Labs is similar to Aurora on Near Protocol, EVMos on Cosmos, Moonbeam on Polkadot, C – Chain on Avalanche,…
However, unlike Near Protocol, Avalanche or Polkadot, Solana has become the most successful non-EVM Blockchain ever without needing EVM to expand the ecosystem. And what if AAVE, Maker DAO, Uniswap, Curve Finance, SushiSwap,… Top Tier DeFi projects on Ethereum could scale and develop on Solana. Will Neon Labs open a new growth cycle for Solana?
The Neon Labs Difference
Neon Labs has a number of outstanding features as follows:
- Neon is the first EVM platform on Solana’s ecosystem.
- Inheriting the scalability of Solana, the Neon network platform also promises high speed and low cost.
- Projects on Ethereum can easily migrate multichain to Solana via Neon without having to refactor the code.
- If you are a programmer or developer, you can use Sodility or Vyper to build DApps on Solana through Neon.
- All Ethereum Tools are easily used on Neon.
Development Roadmap
December 12, 2022: Neon Labs has officially mainnet but the roadmap to grow strongly and become a Full Stack EVM on Solana’s ecosystem is still on the roadmap until Q2/2023.

Andrey Falaeev: CTO (Chief Technology Officer)
- During his career development, Andrey focused on becoming a software engineer at many companies such as Odin and Plesk.
- Andrey then began to be the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for many blockchain projects outside of TradFi such as GolosChain Core, CyberWay Core, CyberCoreDev.
- It can be said that Andrey is being developed to his strengths at Neon Labs.
Konstantin Goldstein: COO
- In the early years of experience, Konstantin spent a lot of time as a software engineer at TGS (a tourism group), then was in charge of the R&D team (research and product development).
- For nearly 9 years, Konstantin worked with Microsoft Corporation in many different senior positions.
Investor
November 9, 2021: Neon Labs successfully called for up to $40M in Seed round with the participation of many famous investment funds such as Everstake, IDEO Colab, 3AC, Solana Ventures, Wintermute, Rockaway,.. .
It can be said that at that time, a brand new project like Neon Labs calling for such a large amount of money was also a remarkable thing from the project.
