What is EthereumPoW?
EthereumPoW (ETHW) is a hard fork of Ethereum that appeared during the Merge in September 2022. When Ethereum switched its consensus from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, a group of miners and developers created this fork to keep the original mining-based system running.
The chain uses the same virtual machine and smart contract behaviour as Ethereum did before the Merge, so developers can deploy familiar decentralised applications and users can interact with the DeFi protocols and tools they already know. It also preserves the transaction history that existed up to the point of the split.
Where ETHW differs is consensus. Instead of validators staking coins, miners compete to secure the network and receive block rewards for the work, the same model Ethereum used for years. That makes EthereumPoW a home for people who prefer proof-of-work and want to stay close to the Ethereum application environment. Its development and direction come from the community rather than a central company, and the token is what circulates within that mining-secured ecosystem.

FAQ
Buying EthereumPoW: FAQs
What is the minimum amount of EthereumPoW I can buy?
You can buy a fraction of an ETHW coin, so there is no need to afford a whole one to begin. A small AUD deposit through PayID is enough to place your first order, which makes it easy to start small and build up your holding gradually.
How quickly can I buy ETHW after joining?
Usually within minutes of signing up. The identity check on Digital Surge tends to clear quickly, and a PayID deposit in AUD generally arrives in under a minute, so you can move from registration to your first ETHW order on the same day.
How do I cash out EthereumPoW to AUD?
When you decide to exit, you sell your ETHW for AUD on Digital Surge and withdraw the Australian dollars to your linked bank. Withdrawals run through local banking channels, and low fees are displayed before you confirm, so the amount you receive is clear.
How is EthereumPoW different from Ethereum?
EthereumPoW keeps proof-of-work, where miners secure the network, while Ethereum now uses proof-of-stake with validators. ETHW preserves the pre-Merge mining model and stays compatible with the Ethereum applications and smart contracts that existed before the September 2022 split.
What can I do with ETHW once I own it?
You can use ETHW to interact with decentralised applications, run smart contracts and take part in DeFi protocols on the proof-of-work chain. Because the network mirrors pre-Merge Ethereum, most Ethereum-compatible tools and wallets work with it out of the box.
