Everything We Know So Far About Ethereum Fork Token (ETHW)!
Everything we know so far about ETHW! Lately, the topic of ‘The Merge’ has created much interest from the community. To clarify, ‘The Merge’ is a change from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS).
About ETHW
ETHW, an Ethereum fork token that does not yet exist, is trading under $100 in some crypto exchanges. Previously they debuted at $30. ETHW is the original (or native) asset to the ETHPoW chain. ETHPoW is a potential new chain backed by PoW miners as the original chain is gearing up to switch into PoS in September. At the same time, the PoS version, ETHS, is trading at approximately $1,600.
Because of the potential chain split, users holding a certain amount of the original chain’s Ethereum (ETH) will get an equal amount of ETHW tokens. It made some exchanges already list ETHW for trading in advance.
Companies with ETHW and ETHS
Poloniex is one of the companies that listed ETHW. Last weekend, Poloniex listed both ETHW and ETHS, the PoS chain token, for trading against ETH. They also dubbed themselves the first crypto exchange to support and list ETH potential hard fork tokens, ETHW and ETHS.
