What is ETHW RPC?

ETHW is the PoW (Proof-of-Work) version of ETH since the Merge, which successfully turns Ethereum network from PoW to PoS (Proof-of-Stake).

This means everything on the Ethereum network remains unchanged from ETH, tokens, NFTs to wallets such as KEYRING PRO, HB Wallet, Trust, etc. except for the core protocol of Ethereum is now PoS.

Most wallet addresses that have ETH until the network snapshot on September 15, 2022 will receive an airdrop of ETHW at the rate 1:1 (1 ETHW for 1 ETH).

The event is quite similar to the last hard fork of Ethereum which separated Ethereum (ETH) from Ethereum Classic (ETC) in 2016.

ETHW so called EthereumPoW will continue to run on PoW, using the old source code.

If you have some ETH in your wallet before Sep.15, please try to add ETHW RPC to see if you have received the free airdrop.
