The ETN Ecosystem is excited to announce significant advancements that mark a new phase of maturation, reinforcing our commitment to robust security, active community engagement, and a clearly defined governance structure. These strategic updates strengthen our foundation for sustained growth and increased adoption, particularly within the burgeoning African digital landscape and the broader TON blockchain community.

Key Developments​

1. Enhanced Security with ETN Authenticator: We've introduced the ETN Authenticator, a novel NFT-based two-factor authentication (2FA) system. This system leverages "ETN Numbers NFTs" and Wallet Connect to provide unified and secure access across all ETN Ecosystem platforms. By tying 2FA to unique, user-owned digital assets, we're moving beyond traditional methods to align authentication with Web3 principles of user sovereignty and control. This not only enhances security but also increases the utility and intrinsic value of holding ETN Numbers NFTs.

2. Exclusively NFT-Driven Governance: Our governance model has been refined to be exclusively driven by Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). This means that holding $ETN tokens alone no longer grants direct voting rights; instead, decision-making power is now entirely encapsulated and exercised through the ownership of specific governance NFTs. This strategic choice aims to tie influence more directly to specific forms of stake and commitment within the ecosystem. Our governance structure includes:

  • SBTs (Soulbound Tokens): 8 non-transferable SBTs held by the development team, each with 10 votes, ensuring core team stewardship.
  • Council Minister NFTs: 10 NFTs, available for 10 TON each, for active community leaders (5 or 10 votes each, clarification pending).
  • Investor NFTs: 2 NFTs, priced at 50 TON each, granting 10 votes each for significant stakeholders.
  • $ETN Treasury Bonds: 200 bonds, each granting 1 vote, functioning as verifiable tokenized assets for broader community participation.

3. Launch of Mesewer Books: We are thrilled to announce Mesewer Books, a new platform within our expanding suite of services. While specific details are pending, Mesewer Books is set to diversify our offerings, potentially focusing on content distribution, digital publishing, or specialized record-keeping. This addition underscores our dynamic approach to adding new services that broaden the ecosystem's overall utility and appeal.

4. Commemorating "Ahadu Batch" with Ahadu Badge SBT: ETN Learn, our educational arm, celebrated the graduation of its first cohort from the "Ultimate Netsa Summer Bootcamp." To commemorate this milestone, we introduced the Ahadu Badge, a commemorative Soulbound Token (SBT) awarded to these graduates, designated the "Ahadu Batch" or "Genesis Block." These 192 non-transferable SBTs grant lifetime access to all ETN Learn courses, including premium content, fostering loyalty and demonstrating the practical applications of SBT technology.

Synergies and Outlook​

These new elements are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing platforms, creating a more cohesive, secure, and utilitarian environment. The ETN Authenticator provides a common security framework, Mesewer Books introduces a new content vertical, and ETN Learn cultivates a skilled user base. This holistic strategy aims to create a virtuous cycle of enhanced security, new value, and continuous education, driving adoption and economic activity across the entire ETN Ecosystem.

Our roadmap for 2024-2027 continues to guide our development, with recent milestones like the GekoTerminal listing and ETN Ads alpha testing demonstrating our progress. We remain committed to securing funding and prioritizing long-term solutions, with a unique sustainability model that involves collecting platform fees in $ETN and distributing them annually to stakeholders, fostering sustainable growth and shared value creation.

The ETN Ecosystem is actively solidifying its core infrastructure and expanding its service offerings, tailored to address the needs and opportunities within the African market, with a strong emphasis on education, practical utility, and financial inclusion.
