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 NOK to ETHW trading pair and what does it represent?

    The NOK/ETHW pair allows you to purchase ETHPoW (ETHW), the native asset of the Ethereum Proof-of-Work fork, using Norwegian Krone (NOK). This pair is significant as it provides a direct fiat on-ramp for Norwegian users into the ETHW ecosystem, which preserves the original PoW consensus mechanism abandoned by Ethereum's mainnet during 'The Merge'. It allows miners and PoW proponents to transact using a chain that maintains EVM compatibility.
  • What are the common methods to buy ETHW with NOK?

    To buy ETHW with NOK, you typically need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that lists the ETHW token and accepts NOK deposits. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML verification, and then funding your account with Norwegian Krone via methods like a direct bank transfer or using Norwegian payment systems like Vipps or BankID if supported. Once funded, you can place an order on the NOK/ETHW order book to execute the digital asset purchase.
  • What are the security implications of ETHW's Proof-of-Work model to consider?

    ETHW's security relies on the total hashrate contributed by miners in its Proof-of-Work system. A key consideration is that its hashrate is significantly lower than that of the pre-Merge Ethereum mainnet. This theoretically makes the network more susceptible to a 51% attack, where a single entity could potentially control enough hashing power to disrupt the blockchain. Users should be aware of this risk and consider using exchanges with robust confirmation requirements for ETHW deposits and storing assets in a secure digital wallet.
  • After buying ETHW with NOK, can I use it in dApps like on the main Ethereum network?

    Yes, theoretically. Since ETHW is an Ethereum fork that retains full EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatibility, any dApp that existed on Ethereum before 'The Merge' could potentially be deployed and run on the ETHW network. However, the actual availability and functionality of these dApps depend on whether their developers and crucial infrastructure providers (like oracles) actively support and maintain their services on the ETHW chain. Liquidity and user adoption on ETHW's dApp ecosystem are also key factors to consider.
  • What kinds of fees are involved in a NOK to ETHW transaction?

    A NOK to ETHW transaction typically involves several fees. First, the cryptocurrency exchange will charge a trading fee (either a 'maker' or 'taker' fee) for executing the purchase on its order book. Second, there may be a deposit fee for funding your account with NOK, depending on the payment method (e.g., Vipps or bank transfer). Finally, if you withdraw your ETHW to a personal digital wallet, you will have to pay a network transaction fee, or 'gas fee', which is paid to ETHW miners for processing the transaction on the blockchain.
