COZ has released Neon 3, the latest version of its self-custodial wallet designed for both desktop and mobile platforms. This new version offers a number of improvements and features to optimize the experience for both new and existing users and includes support for Neo X.
Setup and migration
For new users, getting started with Neon 3 is straightforward. After downloading and opening the application, they can set up their first multi-account wallet by choosing a master password and saving a BIP-39 seed phrase. After a wallet is created, users can create new accounts for Neo N3, Neo Legacy, Neo X, or Ethereum.
Existing Neon users will need to go through a migration process. When opening the previous version of Neon, users will be prompted to migrate their accounts. Following the prompt will create a migration file that can be imported using Neon 3.
After installing the new version and selecting the migration option, users will be prompted to set a single password for the migrated accounts. Users can select which accounts to import and provide the corresponding passwords that were used in Neon 2. After the migration is complete, the migrated wallet will be ready for use in Neon 3.
The initial release will require Ledger hardware wallet users to create a wallet before connecting their device and opening the corresponding app. This will allow Neon to recognize the device and display all derived addresses with token balances (with the option to derive additional addresses if needed). According to COZ, an anonymous login option will be added in the near future so Ledger users can skip the password login step.
New design and new features
Neon Wallet 3 introduces a revamped design, starting with the Portfolio page. This page provides a comprehensive overview of all accounts and shows token balances and price estimates. Additionally, users can access tabs to view aggregated activity and dApp connections.

On the Wallets side, there is the new multi-account paradigm that allows users to manage accounts on different networks, including Neo N3, Neo X, Neo Legacy, and Ethereum. Customization options are available for account labeling and coloring.
Accounts are controlled via the Accounts sidebar. By selecting an account, a user can view and manage NEP-17 and NEP-11 balances, claim GAS, and explore transaction activity. From this screen, users can establish connections with dApps that support WalletConnect, such as the official Neo governance portal and decentralized exchanges Flamingo and Forthewin.
The dedicated Send and Receive pages remain functionally identical to those of Neon 3’s predecessor, aside from some design improvements and multi-account adjustments. The Contracts page also remains, but is now enhanced by being shared across all wallets and accounts.
The Settings menu should look familiar to existing users. It now includes configuration options for the Neo X and Ethereum networks, as well as adjustments to the security panel for the new global password feature.
