Electroneum Enhances Network Reliability with Third RPC Provider in 2026

Electroneum (ETN), a mobile-first Layer-1 blockchain emphasizing financial inclusion, low-cost transactions, and sustainability, has expanded its infrastructure by adding a third major RPC provider.

The Electroneum Smart Chain is EVM-compatible, supporting Solidity and Ethereum tools, with 5-second block finality, ultra-low fees (around $0.001 per transaction), and a Proof-of-Responsibility (PoR) consensus built on a modified IBFT protocol for energy efficiency. Chain ID: 52014.

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) providers supply endpoints for developers, dApps, wallets, and users to interact with the blockchain; reading data, sending transactions, or deploying contracts  without maintaining personal nodes.

Multiple providers improve redundancy, speed, global access, and uptime, reducing downtime risks and supporting scalable growth for ETN’s user base running into the millions.

This diversification benefits developers by offering options for different needs: free tiers for testing, premium for high-volume apps, and specialized tools for NFTs or DeFi. It fosters ecosystem expansion, attracts more builders, and enhances reliability for real-world uses like remittances, airtime top-ups, and freelancer payments via the ETN App.

Below is a straightforward overview of ETN’s RPC providers, starting from the newest to the oldest, with verified details and links.

1. GetBlock – Latest Integration (February 2026)

GetBlock, a robust node provider for over 100 blockchains, announced ETN support on February 24, 2026, boosting the ecosystem’s reliability for wallets, DEXs, and projects.

Key benefits:

•  High throughput (1,000+ RPS) and low-latency for real-time applications like trading or payments.

•  Multi-protocol support: JSON-RPC, WebSocket, REST, GraphQL, with full/archive node options.

•  Geographic diversity and 99.9%+ uptime, ideal for global users in emerging markets.

•  Scalability helps ETN’s focus on mass adoption by handling increased traffic without failures.

Endpoints and setup: Access via getblock.io/nodes/electroneum with API keys. Free shared nodes for basics; paid dedicated servers for enterprise.

This addition complements ETN’s green, low-fee model, making it easier for developers to build sustainable dApps.

2. thirdweb – Developer-Focused Addition (October 2025)

In October 2025, thirdweb integrated ETN, exposing the network to its 70,000+ developers through easy-to-use tools for smart contracts, wallets, and dApps.

Key benefits:

•  Streamlines development with SDKs (TypeScript, React, Unity) and pre-built templates for ERC-20/721/1155 tokens, NFTs, and marketplaces.

•  Free testnet faucets and cross-chain bridges simplify testing and asset transfers.

•  Mobile-first alignment with ETN’s app ecosystem, perfect for payments, games, or DeFi in underserved regions.

•  Reduces barriers for beginners, accelerating projects like tokenized impact initiatives (e.g., via ETN’s One Ocean Foundation partnership).

Endpoints and setup: RPC at https://52014.rpc.thirdweb.com. Add to wallets like MetaMask manually or via their dashboard. Explore guides at thirdweb.com/electroneum.

3. ANKR – Foundational Provider (June 2024)

ANKR became ETN’s first major RPC partner in June 2024, providing established infrastructure for over 100 chains.

Key benefits:

•  Reliable, decentralized nodes with free public endpoints for quick starts and premium tiers for production-scale performance.

•  High rate limits, analytics, and WebSocket support for real-time data queries.

•  Enhances ETN’s EVM compatibility, allowing seamless integration with tools like Hardhat or MetaMask.

•  Supports financial inclusion goals by enabling low-cost, efficient dApps for unbanked users worldwide.

Endpoints and setup: Mainnet HTTPS: https://rpc.ankr.com/electroneum; WSS for subscriptions. Sign up at ankr.com/rpc/electroneum for API keys. Free tier for development; custom pricing for advanced needs.

The Impact of Multiple RPC Providers on Electroneum’s Ecosystem

With ANKR offering proven stability, thirdweb providing dev-friendly tools, and GetBlock adding speed and flexibility, ETN developers gain tailored choices. This setup minimizes single-provider dependencies, improves latency for global access, and positions ETN as a competitive, eco-friendly alternative to high-fee chains. As per ETN’s build page, these integrations encourage more dApp migrations and innovations.
