About EthereumPoW
EthereumPoW (ETHW) is a hard fork of Ethereum blockchain with the Ethereum Merge. The Merge saw Ethereum transition to proof-of-stake, while the forked version remains on proof-of-work.
What is EthereumPoW and How Does It Work?
EthereumPoW (ETHW) is a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain that emerged during the Ethereum Merge in September 2022. When Ethereum transitioned from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake consensus, a group of miners and developers created this fork to preserve the original proof-of-work mining mechanism and maintain compatibility with existing Ethereum applications.
The network operates using the same virtual machine and smart contract functionality as pre-Merge Ethereum, allowing developers to deploy decentralised applications and users to interact with familiar DeFi protocols. EthereumPoW aims to provide a mining-based alternative for those who prefer the security model and decentralisation characteristics of proof-of-work consensus.
- Proof-of-work consensus – Uses mining for network security and validation
- EVM compatibility – Supports existing Ethereum smart contracts and dApps
- Mining rewards – Provides block rewards for miners securing the network
- Decentralised governance – Community-driven development and decision making
- Fork continuity – Maintains transaction history from pre-Merge Ethereum
Why Buy EthereumPoW?
EthereumPoW appeals to users who prefer proof-of-work consensus mechanisms and want to participate in a mining-based ecosystem. The network supports familiar Ethereum applications and smart contracts, making it accessible for developers and users already familiar with EVM-based platforms. Holders can participate in decentralised finance applications, use smart contracts, and support a community-driven blockchain that prioritises mining-based security. The network’s compatibility with existing Ethereum tooling and infrastructure makes it practical for various decentralised applications and blockchain interactions.
