Electroneum is a proof-of-work (PoW) public blockchain that decouples mining from Asics and enables miners to mine the blockchain using their mobile devices. As a result, the PoW blockchain becomes highly decentralized.

A layer-1 Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchain, Electroneum is powered by the Istanbul Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus mechanism and supported by a known set of validators mainly comprising universities and Web3 infrastructure companies.
