How to Claim ETHW Airdrop? MetaMask Wallet Guide to Adding Network & Tokens

Ethereum has successfully completed its 2.0 upgrade, transitioning to a PoS mechanism to reduce energy consumption. However, many miners continue to support PoW mining, leading to the hard fork of the EthereumPoW (ETHW) chain, where they mine ETHW tokens.

To gain market influence, these miners initiated an ETHW airdrop for all ETH holders, aiming to attract users back to the EthereumPoW chain. Claiming free ETHW is colloquially called "collecting candy."

• Exchange-held ETH: Automatically eligible for the airdrop (no action required).
• MetaMask-held ETH: Requires manual token addition to view ETHW balances.

2. Select "Add Network" at the bottom.

3. Enter the following details:

   New RPC URL	https://mainnet.ethereumpow.org
   Chain ID	10001
   Currency Symbol	ETHW
   Blockchain Explorer	https://mainnet.ethwscan.com (Optional)

4. Click "Save." ETHW will now appear in your wallet.

Note: Switching back to "Ethereum Mainnet" restores visibility of your original ETH.

Where to Trade ETHW?

Supported exchanges include:

• Bybit
• Gate.io
• Bitfinex

⚠️ Risk Alert: Some platforms reject ETHW support, and arbitrage between ETHW/ETH carries volatility. Invest only what you can afford to lose.

Q2: Can I sell ETHW immediately?
A: Yes, if listed on exchanges. Verify liquidity first.

Q3: Why isn’t my ETHW showing up?
A: Ensure you’ve added the ETHW network correctly in MetaMask.
