Similar to ERC20 for , NEP-5 is a currency standard, recommending that you implement a couple of predefined functions ( ).

NEP-5 Ethereum name, symbol, balanceOf, transfer … Lastly we cannot talk about deployment without talking about the ! We will need a compiler because NEO nodes do not understand Python or Java or C# or any other high level language. Instead, it understands byte code and it is the job of the compiler to translate it for us! Our compiler of choice will be : taking our NEP-5 compliant python smart contract, and turn it into byte-code or machine readable code. compiler Neo-boa : code → compile → deploy! let’s start!
