Following Ethereum’s Merge, a number of cryptocurrency community members have been discussing the proof-of-work (PoW) fork called ETHW as it dropped significantly in value during the past few days. However, a lot of people are unaware that there’s another Ethereum-based PoW fork called ethereumfair (ETF), and ETF has gathered a small amount of hashrate and fiat value since the token’s mainnet launch.
The Crypto Community Greets Another PoW Fork Called Ethereumfair
Most people were aware that a proof-of-work (PoW) crypto asset called ETHW was created following The Merge on September 15, because it was announced weeks before the mainnet launch. At the time of writing, ETHW is down 17% against the U.S. dollar in 24 hours, and the project’s hashrate has slipped a great deal as well.
On September 15, ETHW’s hashrate tapped an all-time high (ATH) at 80.56 terahash per second (TH/s). Although, ETHW’s hashrate has faltered in recent times and the PoW network has lost 53.35% of hashpower since then.
A great number of people are unaware that ETHW is not the only ETH-based PoW fork as there’s another ETH-based PoW fork called ethereumfair (ETF). The Ethereumfair team has a website and a few social media channels.
The team’s Twitter account was created in January 2020, and it has 14,100 Twitter followers at the time of writing. The Ethereumfair account has roughly 1,000 fewer followers than ETHW’s 15.1K Twitter followers. While ETHW has lost 17%, ETF is also down 17.6% against the U.S. dollar at $1.57 per unit.
Coingecko.com stats show ETF has seen a price range between $1.48 to $3.50 per unit and $3.43 million in global trade volume. Two days ago, ETF’s price tapped an all-time high at $20.59 per unit, and on the same day, it slid to its lowest point at $0.99 per coin.
ETF trading activity today is prominent on Huobi and Gate.io with the most dominant trading pair being tether (USDT). Poloniex also lists ETF as well but the exchange leveraged the ETHW IOU market and renamed it to ETF.
