R3E Network has published a JavaScript-based decompiler SDK for Neo N3 smart contracts. This allows developers to convert compiled NEF bytecode to human-readable code. Neo core developer and R3E Network founder Jimmy Liao announced a release on March 19th with plans to integrate the tool into the neo3scan.com blockchain explorer.
The SDK published on npm as @r3e/neo-decompiler-js decompiles Neo Executable Format (NEF) files, a compiled executable format used by smart contracts deployed on Neo N3. The decompiler integrated into neo3scan.com is intended to automatically convert contract bytecode into readable code when a user views the contract page in Explorer.

The decompiler integration builds on functionality already present in R3E Network’s Neo N3 Explorer, neo3scan.com, which launched in late February with built-in script decompilation capabilities for transaction details, governance tools, and developer utilities. Automatic contract decompilation extends that functionality by allowing users to inspect the logic of deployed contracts even when the source code is not publicly available.
Contract decompilation is a common feature of mature blockchain explorers and helps developers and security researchers audit on-chain behavior and independently verify contract functionality.
