A mobile-first cryptocurrency network, Electroneum enables instant, low-cost payments and airtime top-ups worldwide, secured by energy-efficient, NGO-supported Proof of Responsibility and KYC/AML-compliant wallets.
Electroneum (ETN) is a mobile‑first Layer‑1 blockchain and payments ecosystem built for fast, low‑cost digital transactions and financial inclusion. Through the ETN App and merchant APIs, users can make instant point‑of‑sale payments, send remittances, and top up mobile airtime/data and utilities, as well as pay freelancers on the AnyTask Platform. For comparison metrics: it’s non‑EVM (no gas market), uses minimal fixed network fees, and targets ~2‑minute blocks with dynamic block sizes to handle retail bursts.
Electroneum is unique for its Proof of Responsibility (PoR) consensus, where vetted validators—including NGOs and ecosystem partners—secure the network with energy‑efficient, compliance‑friendly operations. Its KYC/AML‑ready wallet and Instant Payment system provide real‑time payment notifications and predictable, low fees, avoiding gas‑price volatility typical of EVM chains. In practice, this means stable costs (no gas auctions), ~2‑minute block times, and throughput tuned for real‑world micropayments rather than high‑TPS DeFi.
Electroneum uses ETN as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETN by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ETN to Electroneum, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Electroneum as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
