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 IDR/ETHW trading pair?
The IDR/ETHW pair represents the direct exchange rate between the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and ETHPoW (ETHW). ETHW is a digital asset from the Ethereum fork that preserves the original Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. This pair acts as a crucial fiat on-ramp for Indonesian users to acquire ETHW, an asset supported by a community committed to the PoW validation model used by the original Ethereum chain. -
What are the common methods to buy ETHW using Indonesian Rupiah?
To purchase ETHW with IDR, you typically use a cryptocurrency exchange that supports this specific pair. The process involves completing KYC/AML compliance, then funding your account using Indonesian-specific payment methods like local bank transfers via Virtual Accounts, or e-wallets such as OVO, GoPay, and Dana. Once funded, you can place an order on the IDR/ETHW order book to execute the digital asset purchase. -
What technical aspects of ETHW's Proof-of-Work chain should I know before trading?
Before trading, understand that ETHW's security relies on hashrate provided by miners, following the classic PoW consensus. This ensures immutability and censorship resistance, hallmarks of the original Ethereum vision. Network transaction fees (gas) are paid to these miners for validating transactions. You should also be aware that as a legacy chain, its ecosystem and developer tool support may differ from the main Proof-of-Stake Ethereum network. -
How should I securely store ETHW after purchasing it with IDR?
For secure storage, it is highly recommended to move your ETHW from the cryptocurrency exchange to a non-custodial digital wallet where you control the private keys. Options include hardware wallets for maximum security or reputable software wallets that explicitly support the ETHW chain. This practice minimizes counterparty risk and gives you full sovereignty over your digital asset. -
Are there typical processing times or fees for IDR deposits to buy ETHW?
Yes, IDR deposits on regulated Indonesian exchanges usually have set fees and processing times. Deposits via Virtual Account bank transfers are often near-instantaneous but may carry a small, fixed fee. E-wallet deposits (OVO, GoPay) can also be very fast but might have percentage-based fees. Always check the fee schedule on your chosen cryptocurrency exchange before initiating a fiat on-ramp transaction to manage costs effectively.
