About
ETHPoW (ETHW)

ETHW (ETHW) represents a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain, initiated following Ethereum's transition from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, an event widely known as "The Merge." The primary purpose of ETHW is to maintain the original Ethereum PoW chain, thereby offering a continuation for the existing community of miners and users who prefer the PoW model or have significant investments in PoW mining infrastructure. This decentralized network preserves the Ethash mining algorithm, relying on miners to validate transactions and secure the blockchain technology through computational work, a foundational aspect of the pre-Merge Ethereum digital ledger.

The native ETHW token is crucial for the ecosystem's functionality. It serves as the primary digital asset for paying transaction fees, commonly referred to as gas, which are necessary for executing smart contracts and interacting with decentralized applications (dApps) operating on the ETHW chain. Furthermore, ETHW tokens are distributed as mining rewards, incentivizing miners to contribute their hash power to maintain network integrity and on-chain security. ETHW aims to support a segment of the Ethereum dApp landscape and its associated tokenomics, providing an alternative platform for developers and users committed to the Proof-of-Work consensus, positioning itself as a distinct branch within the broader Web3 infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions

  • What exactly is the CHF/ETHW trading pair?

    The CHF/ETHW pair represents the direct exchange rate between the Swiss Franc (CHF) and ETHPoW (ETHW). ETHW is the native token of EthereumPoW, a blockchain that resulted from a hard fork of Ethereum, preserving the original Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. This pair allows users to perform a fiat on-ramp directly from a stable, major world currency to acquire a digital asset from the legacy Ethereum chain maintained by its original mining community.
  • What are the primary methods for purchasing ETHW with Swiss Francs?

    To buy ETHW with CHF, you typically need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that lists the CHF/ETHW pair or offers a conversion path. The most common process involves making a CHF deposit via a Swiss bank transfer to a regulated exchange. Due to ETHW being a less common chain-split token, a direct pair may be rare. A more likely route is to first purchase a major digital asset like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) with your CHF, and then trade it for ETHW on an exchange's order book. All reputable platforms will require KYC/AML compliance.
  • How does ETHW's Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus affect the security of my transaction?

    ETHW utilizes the Ethash mining algorithm, a robust and battle-tested Proof-of-Work system. Once your CHF is converted and the ETHW blockchain transaction is initiated, it is secured by a decentralized network of miners competing to solve complex computations. This process makes altering a confirmed transaction computationally infeasible, providing a high degree of security and immutability. However, users should be aware that the network's overall security is correlated with its total hash rate, which can be lower than that of the pre-Merge Ethereum chain.
  • Are there specific wallet requirements for storing ETHW bought with CHF?

    Yes, after performing a secure trade from CHF to ETHW, you must store your assets in a wallet that supports the EthereumPoW network. Because ETHW is a fork of Ethereum, it is EVM-compatible. This means most wallets that support Ethereum (like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or hardware wallets) can be configured to connect to the ETHW network. It's crucial to add the correct ETHW network RPC details to your wallet to view and manage your funds, and to practice secure digital asset storage by controlling your own private keys in a non-custodial wallet.
  • What are the typical fees when converting CHF to ETHW?

    Converting CHF to ETHW involves several potential fees. First, your bank or payment provider might charge a fee for the initial CHF deposit to the cryptocurrency exchange. Second, the exchange itself will charge a trading fee, often a small percentage of the transaction value. If you have to trade CHF to an intermediary asset like BTC first, there will be two trading fees. Finally, when you withdraw your ETHW to a private wallet, you will pay a network transaction fee, known as gas, which is paid to the ETHPoW miners for processing the transaction on the blockchain.
