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 is the MYR/ETHW trading pair and what does it represent?
The MYR/ETHW pair represents the direct exchange rate between the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and ETHPoW (ETHW). It allows users to perform a fiat on-ramp transaction, purchasing the digital asset ETHW using MYR. ETHW is the native token of EthereumPoW, a fork of Ethereum that maintains the original Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism that was in place before 'The Merge'. -
What are the common payment methods for buying ETHW with MYR in Malaysia?
To buy ETHW with Malaysian Ringgit, users typically rely on cryptocurrency exchanges or P2P platforms that support local payment methods. The most common method is an FPX bank transfer, which allows for instant and secure payments from Malaysian bank accounts. Other options can include DuitNow transfers or direct peer-to-peer bank transfers, though it's crucial to use a reputable platform with escrow services to ensure secure trading. -
What makes the ETHW blockchain technically different from the main Ethereum (ETH) network?
The fundamental technical difference is the consensus mechanism. The main Ethereum network transitioned to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) model during 'The Merge'. ETHPoW (ETHW) is a hard fork that deliberately preserved the original Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm. This means ETHW transactions are validated by miners solving complex computational puzzles, ensuring blockchain immutability in a way that supporters of PoW prefer. Both chains remain EVM-compatible, allowing for smart contracts and dApps. -
Are there specific KYC/AML compliance steps when using MYR for crypto purchases?
Yes, any fiat on-ramp service operating in Malaysia or servicing Malaysian clients is subject to regulations, often from the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC). To comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, you will typically need to verify your identity by providing a government-issued ID (like MyKad) and sometimes proof of address. This process is mandatory on regulated exchanges to prevent illicit activities and secure the platform. -
What are the typical fees when executing a MYR to ETHW blockchain transaction?
There are two main types of fees. First, the cryptocurrency exchange or P2P platform will charge a trading fee for converting MYR to ETHW, often a small percentage of the transaction volume. Second, when you withdraw your ETHW from the exchange to your personal digital wallet, you must pay a network 'gas fee'. This fee is paid to the ETHW miners who validate the blockchain transaction and is denominated in ETHW itself, fluctuating based on network congestion.
