Earn. Gift. Redeem.
ETN Stars are the academy's recognition currency. Every like you receive, every setup you publish and every trader you bring in compounds your balance — and your balance compounds your rank.
How to Earn
Six faucets — all capped to keep the economy honest.
Like received
Every heart your analysis earns pays a star — quality gets noticed.
Quality comment
Sharp contributions to other traders' setups (max 5/day).
Posting a setup
Publish a market outlook on the Floor (max 2 awarding posts/day).
Referral joins free
A trader signs up through your personal link.
Referral goes PRO
Your referral upgrades — plus an 8% cash commission.
Stars gifted to you
Respect from the community — traders gift 1, 5, 10 or 50 at a time.
How to Spend
Burning stars is instant — no screenshots, no approvals.
Redeem PRO Books
Burn stars to unlock premium titles from the Digital Bookshelf — instantly, no Telebirr, no waiting.
Unlock Master Courses
Premium course enrollments can be paid in stars at the rate set on each course.
Gift Respect
Send stars to setups that taught you something — the strongest signal of skill on the Floor.
A ledger you can audit
Every star that enters or leaves your account is recorded — awards, gifts sent and received, redemptions, admin adjustments — and rendered in your Transaction History on the Growth hub. Nothing hidden, nothing inflatable.
Stars climb ranks
Your lifetime balance walks you up the Ethiopian ladder — 🌱 Novice → 🛡️ Balambaras (500) → ⚔️ Grazmach (1,500) → ⚔️ … → 🏛️ NegadRas (50,000). Promotions are permanent: a withdrawn like never demotes you.
The road ahead
Future Value in the ETN Ecosystem
ETN Stars are earned — never bought — and today they unlock knowledge: books, courses and recognition. As the ETN Ecosystem matures, the plan is to bridge this engagement currency into real-world utility across ETN products and services, rewarding the traders who built the foundation from day one. Earning early compounds later.
Educational utility first. Any future redemption value will be announced by the academy — stars are not a security and carry no guaranteed monetary value.
