Neon EVM Ceases Operations: Here's How to Move or Withdraw NEON Tokens

Two dates are now listed on the official Neon EVM website: October 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026. The first date has passed, and the second is only about 11 weeks away. 

Both mark the Neon EVM wind down, namely the closure of services that affects anyone still holding NEON tokens or assets on that network. This article explains the deadlines and how to withdraw NEON safely.

Key Takeaways

• Support and development for Neon EVM ended on October 1, 2026, with a migration and withdrawal deadline of December 31, 2026.
• NEON tokens on Solana are not automatically deleted, but the team does not guarantee utility, liquidity, or third-party support.
• Assets on the Neon EVM network are moved to Solana via NeonPass, then can be sent to an exchange or personal wallet.

What Happened to Neon EVM and the NEON Token

Neon EVM has been known as an Ethereum-compatible layer running on top of Solana. Through an announcement on its official website, the team decided to stop development and support after reviewing the project's position. 

According to neonevm.org, the development, maintenance, and support operated by the team ended on October 1, 2026. Users and developers are asked to complete migration or withdrawal before December 31, 2026.

Components still running on Solana after the shutdown are no longer developed, maintained, monitored, upgraded, or supported. Regarding the token, neonevm.org states that this shutdown does not automatically delete SPL-standard NEON tokens on Solana.

However, the team provides no guarantee regarding utility, liquidity, market value, or third-party services that support NEON. Whether NEON remains listed or is delisted is determined by each exchange.

The market has already reacted. According to CoinMarketCap as of October 15, 2026, the NEON coin is trading at around Rp84, down about 16.14% in 24 hours and touching an all-time low of Rp84.14. 

Its highest price, Rp69,376.25 on December 27, 2023, is now around 99.88% above the current price. Its market capitalization is around Rp20.11 billion with rank #1898.

How to Move Tokens from Neon EVM to Solana

If your tokens are still on the Neon EVM network (for example, in a MetaMask wallet), the first step is to bring them back to Solana. The tool is NeonPass. 

Neon EVM documentation explains that NeonPass is not a conventional blockchain bridge, but rather an asset mover between ERC-20 token accounts on Neon EVM and Associated Token Accounts on Solana.

Broadly speaking, the steps are as follows:

1. Open NeonPass in a browser connected to your Solana wallet and EVM wallet.
2. Add the Neon EVM network to your EVM wallet, then connect both wallets to NeonPass.
3. Select the transfer direction from Neon EVM to Solana.
4. Select the token and enter the amount, then confirm the transaction.

Prepare a small amount of SOL in your Solana wallet. According to Neon EVM documentation, users moving tokens from Neon EVM to Solana for the first time need SOL to cover transaction fees. The guide also states that gas fees can be paid with NEON or the token being sent.

One important note: the NeonPass guide above comes from general documentation. The official technical instructions for the shutdown period are on the withdrawal page linked from neonevm.org. 

Follow that page if there are differences, and make sure you only open the site via the official address. The team emphasizes that it never asks for private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials.

How to Withdraw Crypto from Bittime to a Personal Wallet

After the tokens return to Solana, you have two options: store them in a personal wallet or send them to an exchange. If the assets are already in an exchange account, the process is withdrawal to a personal wallet. Bittime's official sources only detail the rupiah withdrawal tutorial, so this section serves as a general overview.

For IDR withdrawals, the Bittime blog explains that the flow starts from the Assets/Wallet menu in the app. You then enter the amount of funds, PIN, email code, and 2FA code. Funds are estimated to arrive within 1x24 bank business hours. 

For crypto withdrawals, the general steps are similar: open the Assets menu, select the asset, choose the withdrawal option, specify the network, paste the destination address, enter the amount, then complete security verification. Check the latest display in the app before starting.

There are several things you need to check before pressing the confirm button:

• The network and address must match. NEON token is an SPL token on Solana, so the destination address must be a Solana address. Using the wrong network can cause assets to be lost.
• Withdrawal fees. According to the Bittime blog, crypto deposits are free, but crypto withdrawals incur fees that fluctuate and differ for each asset.
• Daily limit. Verified accounts can withdraw up to Rp500 million per day (equivalent).
• Test with a small amount. For a new address, send a small amount first before moving the entire balance.

The same applies if you want to move crypto assets to another exchange: check whether the destination exchange still supports NEON deposits, and make sure the network and deposit address match.

FAQ

1. Will NEON tokens automatically disappear after Neon EVM ceases operations?

No. SPL-standard NEON tokens on Solana will still exist. What is not guaranteed is utility, liquidity, and support from third-party services.

2. What is the migration and withdrawal deadline?

The deadline is December 31, 2026. October 1, 2026 marked the end of development and technical support, but users are still given time to complete the transfer process.

3. What is the difference between NeonPass and a regular cross-chain bridge?

NeonPass does not wrap assets. This tool moves tokens between ERC-20 accounts on Neon EVM and token accounts on Solana, with an interface that makes SPL tokens behave like Ethereum tokens.

4. How can I make sure the destination address is correct?

Copy the address directly from the destination wallet rather than retyping it. Make sure the network is the same, then send a small amount as a test before the full transfer.

5. Will exchanges definitely delist NEON?

There is no official announcement that can be referenced in the sources we checked. The decision is in the hands of each exchange, so monitor the official announcements of the platform you use.
