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 JPY/ETHW trading pair?

    The JPY/ETHW pair represents the exchange rate between the Japanese Yen (JPY) and ETHPoW (ETHW). ETHW is the native token of EthereumPoW, a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain that maintains the original Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism after 'The Merge'. This pair allows you to use a fiat on-ramp to directly purchase this digital asset with Japanese currency on a cryptocurrency exchange.
  • What are the common methods to buy ETHW with JPY?

    To buy ETHW with Japanese Yen, you typically need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that lists the JPY/ETHW pair. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML verification, and depositing JPY via a Japanese bank transfer. Once your account is funded, you can place a buy order on the exchange's order book. Always ensure the platform is regulated and complies with Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) for secure trading.
  • What is the technical significance of ETHW's Proof-of-Work mechanism?

    ETHW's Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism is technically significant because it continues the original, battle-tested security model of Ethereum. In PoW, miners use computational power to solve complex puzzles, validate blockchain transactions, and create new blocks, receiving mining rewards in ETHW. This model is favored by some for its perceived robustness and decentralization, as it was the foundation that secured billions in value on the pre-Merge Ethereum chain.
  • Can I use dApps and smart contracts on the ETHPoW network?

    Yes. Because ETHPoW is a hard fork that inherited the entire state of the Ethereum blockchain at the moment of 'The Merge', all dApps and smart contracts that existed on the mainnet before the transition are also present on the ETHPoW chain. However, it's crucial to understand that liquidity, user activity, and developer support for these dApps may be significantly lower on ETHPoW compared to the main Ethereum Proof-of-Stake chain. Always verify a project's status on the ETHW network before interacting with it.
  • What security practices should I follow when handling JPY and ETHW?

    For secure trading, always use a reputable cryptocurrency exchange for JPY deposits and ETHW purchases. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your exchange account. For storing your ETHW long-term, transfer the digital asset from the exchange to a personal, non-custodial digital wallet where you control the private keys. Be wary of phishing scams and only use official websites and applications. For JPY, ensure you are using secure and verified payment channels like regulated bank transfers.
