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 SAR/ETHW trading pair and how does it work?

    The SAR/ETHW trading pair represents the exchange rate between the Saudi Riyal (SAR) and EthereumPoW (ETHW). ETHW is the digital asset of the Ethereum Proof-of-Work blockchain, a hard fork that continued the original consensus mechanism after the Ethereum Merge. This pair allows you to use a fiat on-ramp to directly purchase ETHW with SAR on a cryptocurrency exchange, creating a direct entry point into the miner-supported ETHW ecosystem.
  • What are the common methods to buy ETHW with Saudi Riyal?

    To purchase ETHW with SAR, you typically need a cryptocurrency exchange that lists the ETHW token and accepts Saudi Riyal deposits. The process involves completing KYC/AML compliance, then funding your account via supported methods like local bank transfers, debit/credit cards (such as Mada), or local payment services. Once funded, you can place an order on the SAR/ETHW order book to execute the digital asset purchase.
  • What are the key technical differences to know when trading ETHW versus ETH?

    The fundamental difference is the consensus mechanism. ETHW retains the original Ethereum's Proof-of-Work (PoW) model, which relies on miners to validate transactions. In contrast, ETH (post-Merge) uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) model. This impacts network security, energy consumption, and tokenomics. When trading ETHW, you are interacting with a separate, miner-supported blockchain with its own ecosystem of dApps and smart contract states, distinct from the main Ethereum PoS chain.
  • What potential risks are specific to handling the ETHW hard fork token?

    A primary risk associated with hard fork tokens like ETHW is the potential for chain replay attacks, where a transaction on one chain could be maliciously rebroadcast on the other. Ensure the exchange or digital wallet you use has implemented robust replay protection. Additionally, the ETHW ecosystem is less developed than the main Ethereum chain, which can mean lower liquidity, fewer supported dApps, and potentially slower development, impacting its long-term utility and network security.
  • How are transaction fees (gas) on the ETHW network calculated?

    Gas fees on the EthereumPoW network function similarly to the legacy Ethereum PoW model. The total fee for a blockchain transaction is calculated as Gas Limit (the maximum amount of work) multiplied by Gas Price (the cost per unit of work, measured in Gwei). Unlike the current Ethereum (PoS) which has a base fee and priority fee structure (EIP-1559), ETHW uses the older, auction-based system where users bid for their transaction to be included by miners.
