A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Access Your ETHW Tokens if You Held ETH Before The Merge

With the new Ethereumpow (ETHW) network launch, ethereum holders are eligible to receive a single ETHW for every ether they own. The following is a simple guide that shows ethereum holders how to access their ETHW tokens using a wallet like Metamask.

16 days ago, Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network, and ethereum miners chose to mine a few different coins like ethereum classic and ravencoin. Some miners transitioned over to the new Ethereumpow (ETHW) network, and the blockchain has been live for more than two weeks since it launched. At the time of writing, there’s 52.27 terahash per second (TH/s) of hashrate dedicated to the ETHW network.

Moreover, the ETHW token has been trading for prices between $10.96 to $12.16 per unit during the last 24 hours. The USD value of ETHW is up 20.6% during the last two weeks, and seven-day statistics indicate the token is up 49.1%. However, during the past 24 hours on October 1, 2022, ETHW has lost roughly 7% against the U.S. dollar. Because ETH owners are eligible for ETHW at a 1:1 rate, after the ETHW network went live, ether holders have been gaining access to their coins.

The following post is a simple way to access ETHW using a Metamask wallet by simply updating the network. ETH owners can also leverage different methods like importing their seeds into Metamask or a wallet that supports the ETHW network. Some wallets like Crypto.com’s defi wallet has a toggle switch that checks for balances, and if you held ETH on Crypto.com’s defi wallet, simply check for balances and the ETHW token can be added.

Some wallets, like Crypto.com’s defi wallet (pictured above), allow users to check for balances via specific networks. Other wallets have added ETHW support in different ways.

To leverage the Metamask route, it’s assumed you already have ETH in a Metamask wallet throughout the rest of this guide, but if you don’t, it’s also possible to import your ETH wallet into the Metamask platform and access the funds from there.

Assuming you already have a Metamask wallet that held ethereum (ETH) before The Merge or before September 15, the next step is accessing Metamask’s settings section in the wallet. In order to access the settings simply click the account icon and press “settings.”
