Major Migration & App Closure (June–July) The biggest development was the “Great Migration.” Electroneum closed its custodial Electroneum App and my.electroneum.com wallets on July 12, 2026. Users were required to log in beforehand, download their private keys, and move to third-party EVM-compatible wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Zypto). @electroneum Official messaging framed this as a positive shift: returning full control of keys to users (“your keys, your crypto”), aligning with Web3 standards after outgrowing the old single-currency custodial app, and unlocking multi-crypto features and better tooling. Transactional functions had already been limited earlier, leaving the services mainly for key retrieval. planetetn.org A separate (ongoing) migration concerns balances on the legacy non-EVM blockchain. Paper wallets from before March 3, 2024, and other old-chain funds need bridging; the old chain is deprecated and scheduled for switch-off by the end of 2026, with unmigrated funds at risk of being lost. A formal countdown announcement was flagged as upcoming. planetetn.org Electroneum Name Service (ENS) Launch In early July, Electroneum announced work on its own name service. It went live on mainnet around August 4–7, 2026, enabling human-readable .etn domains. @electroneum Features include a native smart-contract registry/resolver, reverse resolution, ERC-721/ERC-1155 domain ownership (transferable/tradeable), and very low fees with fast finality. Users can claim domains via the official app (ens.electroneum.com). This aims to simplify addresses, reduce errors, and improve dApp onboarding. @electroneum Partnerships & Integrations •  Tangem (announced ~August 3, with follow-ups through mid-August): Partnership for native ETN support on Tangem’s NFC card-style hardware wallets. This enables bank-grade cold storage with chip-based security (no traditional seed phrase required in some setups), 5-second finality compatibility, and easier self-custody. Integration was described as “coming soon” / “almost here.” @electroneum •  Ankr: Community campaign / Ankr Forge missions for on-chain tasks in the Electroneum ecosystem, earning points and monthly rewards (teased early July, with platform activity noted mid-July). @electroneum •  Ongoing/earlier ties highlighted: One Ocean Foundation (Blue Forest seagrass restoration via low-energy NFTs and on-chain reporting; collab updates noted toward September); Splinterlands Voltage event (ElectroFox card and Voltage Points for ETN-related rewards, active from late May); community projects like Ninjars building on the chain. electroneum.com Ecosystem & Developer Focus Electroneum continued promoting its EVM compatibility (Solidity smart contracts), ~5-second finality, ultra-low fees, and eco-friendly Proof of Responsibility (PoR) consensus. Messaging stressed it as a lean, decentralized Smart Chain suitable for microtransactions, dApps, and real-world utility after shedding the old app. @electroneum Other notes included developer outreach (e.g., AI dApp workshops in Africa), community builds (e.g., Ninjars project shoutout in late August), and a late-August tease of integration with The Bit City (rendering the blockchain as a 3D pixel city where wallets get buildings). @electroneum Context from Community/Quarterly Views Q2 2026 was characterized (in independent community recaps) as the period when Electroneum moved from an “app with a blockchain” model toward a standalone, self-custodial EVM chain. Price and trading chatter appeared in community channels, but official focus stayed on infrastructure and migration rather than major exchange listings or price catalysts. planetetn.org Overall, the past three months marked the practical completion of Electroneum’s shift to modern Web3 standards, with self-custody enforced, identity tools added, and hardware/wallet/developer partnerships expanding access and security. Users still holding legacy assets were urged to complete migrations promptly ahead of the year-end old-chain deadline.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
