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 MAD/ETHW trading pair and why is it considered unique?
The MAD/ETHW pair represents the direct exchange rate between the Moroccan Dirham (MAD) and EthereumPoW (ETHW). Its uniqueness stems from combining a less common fiat on-ramp (MAD) with a specific Ethereum fork. ETHW is the blockchain that maintains Ethereum's original Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which is supported by GPU mining. This pair offers a direct gateway for users with MAD into the legacy ETHW ecosystem, which operates independently of the main Proof-of-Stake Ethereum chain. -
What is the most common method to buy ETHW using Moroccan Dirham (MAD)?
Direct MAD/ETHW trading pairs are rare. The typical method involves a two-step process: 1) Use a P2P platform or a local Moroccan service to purchase a high-liquidity cryptocurrency like USDT or BTC with MAD, often via a bank transfer. 2) Transfer this digital asset to a global cryptocurrency exchange that lists ETHW. On that exchange's order book, you can then trade your USDT or BTC for ETHW. Always ensure both platforms comply with KYC/AML regulations. -
What technical distinctions of the ETHW blockchain should I know before trading?
The key technical distinction is that ETHW uses a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm, unlike the main Ethereum (ETH) chain's Proof-of-Stake (PoS). This means ETHW is secured by miners using computational power (GPU mining). As a result of this chain split, the dApp and smart contract ecosystem on ETHW is separate. When managing ETHW, you must use a digital wallet configured for the specific ETHW network by adding its unique ChainID and RPC details. -
What kind of fees should I expect when converting MAD to ETHW?
Because a direct fiat gateway is unlikely, expect a multi-layered fee structure. First, a fee on the P2P or local platform for the initial MAD to crypto purchase. Second, a network transaction fee to move that crypto to a global exchange. Third, a trading fee on the global exchange for the final ETHW conversion. Also, be aware of potential slippage due to the lower liquidity of ETHW pairs and any currency conversion spreads on the initial MAD transaction. -
Which digital wallets are recommended for securely storing ETHW?
For secure storage, move your ETHW off the exchange into a non-custodial digital wallet. Since ETHW is EVM-compatible, wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or hardware wallets such as Ledger or Trezor (with appropriate software support) are ideal. You must manually add the ETHW network to these wallets by configuring the correct RPC URL and ChainID. This ensures you have full control over your private keys and digital assets.
