Electroneum (ETN) is a Layer 1 smart contract platform originally launched as a Monero fork in 2017 and reengineered into an EVM-compatible blockchain through its Smart Chain 2.0 upgrade. Designed for ultra-low-cost microtransactions, ETN powers payments, DeFi, NFTs, and on-chain services across a global network of mobile-first users. With partnerships in over 160 countries for airtime and data top-ups, and a history of pioneering KYC integration and mobile 'mining' UX, Electroneum has reemerged as a developer-friendly, low-fee blockchain for both consumers and builders. Its Smart Chain uses a proof-of-authority IBFT consensus, burns base gas fees to counter inflation, and offers a scalable environment for Web3 and metaverse-ready applications.
