EthereumPoW is the original Proof-of-Work version of Ethereum that continued running after Ethereum switched to Proof-of-Stake in 2022.
When Ethereum’s main chain moved to Proof-of-Stake (the “Merge”), miners who wanted to keep using their hardware kept the old network alive.
That network is called EthereumPoW, or ETHW for short.
ETHW still works like the old Ethereum — blocks are produced by miners, not stakers — and it supports the same smart contracts, wallets, and DApps as Ethereum. You can use MetaMask, deploy ERC-20 tokens, run DEXs, etc. The goal of ETHW is to preserve decentralization and accessibility for anyone who prefers Proof-of-Work.
$EPOW — Launching Soon
$EPOW is the native ecosystem token of EPoW, built on the Ethereum Proof-of-Work (ETHW) network.
It is designed to unify governance, incentives, and long-term alignment across the EPoW ecosystem, which includes token creation, decentralized trading, analytics, liquidity locking, launchpads, and community platforms on ETHW.
What $EPOW will be used for?
1. Governance participation across the EPoW ecosystem
2. DAO treasury and ecosystem decision-making
3. Incentives for early users, builders, and contributors
4. Long-term value alignment with ETHW infrastructure growth
EPoW.io is a complete DeFi ecosystem built specifically for the EthereumPoW network. It brings together all the tools the ETHW chain needs to grow:
Together, these products form a closed-loop ecosystem where any project can: Create a token, add liquidity, trade it, lock liquidity for trust, and track performance — all on-chain and transparently.
The EPoW ecosystem strengthens the EthereumPoW network by:
In short — EPoW is turning EthereumPoW into a complete, self-reliant DeFi economy where anyone can build, trade, and analyze tokens safely.
