The Aurelius update introduces an innovative IBFT consensus protocol, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, lightning-fast 5-second transactions with instant finality, and exceptionally low smart contract execution fees. Stay tuned right here for play-by-play coverage of this exciting development!

Apr 23, 2024–02:29pm GMT

Since launching the new Electroneum smart contract blockchain in March 2024 we’ve already seen over half a million users’ wallets migrate across the bridge from the old blockchain. These users now have access to 5-second finality and all the other amazing features of Electroneum.

And with that… a full house of ticks!

There was a plan to release a new update by Richard Ells today, but the video contains many references to new exchanges and new third party wallet compatibility that we have been unable to get a firm legal opinion on releasing in time. This is important to ensure compliance with all legal & regulatory constraints & guidelines. The video has been replaced with a simple, factual update:

  1. Two new exchanges are listing ETN, one of which is a top 10 ranking exchange
  2. Many more exchanges will be considering adding ETN over the coming weeks
  3. Metamask (the third party smart contract compatible wallet) is now operational, simply visit https://chainlist.org or https://chainlist.wtf and click CONNECT to use the ETN Network
  4. A public node has been released at https://rpc.electroneum.com/ this will enable you to connect many other third party smart contract compatible wallets.
  5. Other third party wallets tested and working include Coinbase mobile wallet (Need to add ETN as a custom network), ONEKEY & TORUS (again need to add a custom network and enter the public node address of http://rpc.electroneum.com and you might need the block explorer https://blockexplorer.electroneum.com
  6. LEDGER — It is possible to use LEDGER right now via METAMASK but the code has been written and submitted to Ledger as an application to allow Electroneum to be easily selected by relatively novice users. We will keep you posted on their response.
  7. Universities — Talks continue with a number of universities who run smart contract courses for them to become validators, we will post updates to that progress

Please remember to be extremely careful when utilising third party wallets and applications. Be mindful of scams and be careful of any private keys or seed phrases you create with third party software. Remember if someone gains access to your private key(s) or your seed phrase(s) you can (and probably will) lose your ETN or other cryptocurrency.
