Electroneum Legacy Chain Shutdown & ENS Update
Summary
In the Electroneum announcement the team warns of a legacy blockchain switch-off by the end of 2026 and urges holders with pre-March-2024 paper wallets to migrate to the new EVM-compatible Smart Chain using the GUI migration tool on GitHub. It also announces an upcoming ENS-compatible .etn naming service for simpler wallet addresses and reminds users to use only official Electroneum links to avoid scams.
Hi , important update on the network.
1. Legacy blockchain switch-off countdown is coming
Attention $ETN holders: the legacy blockchain switch-off countdown announcement is dropping soon.
If you still have old legacy paper wallets from before March 2024, you MUST migrate your tokens to the new EVM-compatible Smart Chain. Any funds left on the old chain when it turns off at the end of 2026 will be lost permanently.

2. Our own ENS is coming
Say goodbye to long, confusing wallet addresses. We're setting up our own ENS compatible wallet naming service, so soon you'll be able to secure a custom .etn domain for simpler, safer, uniquely-yours transactions.
The future of identity on Electroneum is coming. Stay tuned for details.
Please make sure you only use official Electroneum links and stay cautious of fake support accounts or unexpected DMs.
