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 ZAR/ETHW trading pair and what does it represent?

    The ZAR/ETHW pair represents the direct exchange rate between the South African Rand (ZAR) and ETHPoW (ETHW). ETHW is the native token of the Ethereum Proof-of-Work blockchain, a hard fork of the original Ethereum network that preserved the PoW consensus mechanism after the Merge. This pair allows you to use a ZAR fiat on-ramp to purchase ETHW, an asset supported by the original Ethereum miner community.
  • What are the common methods to buy ETHW using South African Rand (ZAR)?

    To buy ETHW with ZAR, you typically need a cryptocurrency exchange that supports both ZAR deposits and lists the ETHW token. The process involves completing FICA compliance (South Africa's KYC), depositing ZAR via methods like Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or PayShap from a local bank, and then executing a trade on the ZAR/ETHW order book to complete your digital asset purchase.
  • Why is ETHW's Proof-of-Work consensus relevant when trading it for ZAR?

    Understanding ETHW's Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus is crucial because it's the core technical differentiator from the main Ethereum (ETH) chain, which uses Proof-of-Stake (PoS). PoW relies on miners to validate transactions, a model some users prefer for its perceived decentralization and security model. When you buy ETHW with ZAR, you are investing in an EVM-compatible network that maintains the original, energy-intensive consensus mechanism that powered Ethereum for years.
  • What security considerations are there when storing ETHW bought with ZAR?

    After buying ETHW, secure it in a digital wallet you control. It's vital to use a wallet that is EVM-compatible and specifically supports ETHPoW by allowing you to configure the correct network with Chain ID 10001. This prevents accidental transactions on the wrong chain. For significant amounts, consider a hardware wallet. Always protect your private keys and never share them.
  • Are transactions on the ETHPoW network reversible after a ZAR purchase?

    No. Once your ZAR to ETHW trade is complete and you withdraw the ETHW to a personal wallet, the blockchain transaction is subject to the principle of immutability. After a transaction is confirmed by the PoW miners and added to the blockchain, it cannot be reversed or altered. This is a fundamental characteristic of most decentralized public ledgers, including ETHPoW.
