Planet ETN Monthly Recap – January 2026
January was anything but quiet on PlanetETN.org. With the new year firing up excitement across crypto markets, activity on-site surged—from ecosystem upgrades and NFT developments to deep conversations about DeFi, AI trends, and the future of green investing. Whether you're building, speculating, or just vibing with the community, this last month delivered plenty of reasons to stay locked in.
The Electroneum ecosystem, in particular, hit the ground running with fresh liquidity, major infrastructure news, and some standout narrative pieces that will likely shape ETN's story throughout 2026. If January set the tone, the rest of this year could be special.
Planet Profile Highlights
One of the most impactful updates came late in the month: Electroneum officially launched its 2026 Grants Program, targeting experienced dev teams ready to build on its fast, eco-friendly EVM chain. This move signals a strategic push to expand beyond grassroots projects and onboard established applications seeking a more scalable, green alternative. It's a major step for Electroneum, potentially welcoming a new wave of real-world dApps.
This community wasn’t just building in theory—ElectroSwap showed tangible progress in January. The CLUB liquidity upgrade improved routing and sliced down price impact, making trading feel smoother and fairer. On the NFT side, ETN Clubs continued to shine, with aftermarket volumes on key collections outperforming expectations. Meanwhile, the GSL Football project added layered mechanics with its “Share System” and launched a multi-phase NFT giveaway campaign that captured plenty of attention.
Educational drops stayed strong too. Articles broke down everything from bullish divergences in chart patterns to fundamentals behind Layer 1 blockchains, and the fast-evolving role of crypto farms in a world searching for high-yield opportunities. The push to tie crypto with broader tech movements was also clear—"Crypto & AI" laid out how Decentralized AI Agents and synchronized market behavior are becoming one of 2026's defining intersections.
Of course, all this activity wouldn't mean much without the community voice. "My Planet Zephyros Journey" captured the real, emotional side of ETN holders—the ups, the losses, the memes, and the rebirth of hope as newer projects like Pandy and Bolt pulled people back in. The interview with community builder Claes also proved that the progress on Planet ETN didn’t come from nowhere—this thing has roots, and it's grown through real people contributing daily behind the scenes.
Community & Forum Activity
The forum saw a solid wave of discussions that mirrored the themes across the Planet Profile posts. The launch of Electroneum’s Grants Program sparked early conversation among developers exploring dApp migration opportunities. Builder energy spilled into multiple threads, including reflections on game-dev hub Vespera and the expansion of the Galactic Sports League, both detailed in a community travelogue series spotlighting planets in the ETN Galaxy.
A few lighter discussions reminded us that the culture here is half the fun. “Penguin Awareness Day” brought out the meme creators, while mixed sentiment around Bitcoin’s struggle to stay above $100K inspired some passionate takes on whether gold’s rise could mark a deeper market shift. And of course, the ever-optimistic “Electroneum Moonshot Predictions” thread reminded everyone what we’re here for—with or without a green candle.
Through it all, the community continued to show up: sharing ideas, laughing at cosmic absurdities, crunching numbers, and supporting one another as the ecosystem matures.
Looking ahead, February already promises a full slate of action. With grants open, NFT projects stacking momentum, and deeper DeFi features on the roadmap, it’s clear 2026 won’t be a passive year for Planet ETN. Get your wallets and imaginations ready—this rocket is just leaving the launchpad.
