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 PLN/ETHW trading pair?
The PLN/ETHW pair represents the exchange rate between the Polish Złoty (PLN) and EthereumPoW (ETHW). ETHW is the digital asset from a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain that preserves the original Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. This pair allows you to use a fiat on-ramp to directly purchase ETHW using Polish currency on a cryptocurrency exchange. -
What are the common payment methods to buy ETHW with PLN?
To purchase the ETHW digital asset with Polish Złoty, you typically use a cryptocurrency exchange that supports PLN deposits. Common methods include direct bank transfers, SEPA transfers if the exchange is in the Eurozone, and popular local payment systems like BLIK or Przelewy24. You will almost always need to complete KYC/AML compliance checks before you can deposit fiat currency. -
What is the strategic advantage of acquiring ETHW via a direct PLN pair?
Trading PLN directly for ETHW offers a streamlined fiat gateway, avoiding multiple conversion fees (e.g., PLN to EUR/USD, then to ETHW). This provides direct entry for Polish investors into the EthereumPoW ecosystem, which is notable for its commitment to the Ethash mining algorithm and maintaining EVM compatibility for legacy dApps that were built on the pre-Merge Ethereum. -
Are there specific wallet requirements for storing ETHW purchased with PLN?
Yes, after your digital asset purchase, you must use a digital wallet that specifically supports the EthereumPoW (ETHW) network. While ETHW shares a history with Ethereum (ETH), they are now separate blockchains. Using a standard ETH wallet without ensuring it can be configured for the ETHW network could result in loss of funds. Always verify wallet compatibility and consider a non-custodial wallet for full control over your private keys. -
How does the Proof-of-Work nature of ETHW impact transactions from PLN?
Once you convert PLN to ETHW, the subsequent blockchain transactions are secured by miners via the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. This means transaction finality can take longer compared to Proof-of-Stake chains, as it requires multiple block confirmations. The network's security and energy consumption are directly tied to the computational power contributed by miners, a key distinction of the legacy Ethereum chain that ETHW preserves.
