Tutorial: Set Up ETHW Wallet and Claim Airdrop

How to set up your wallet for ETHW mainnet?

In general, any wallet that supports custom RPC will work.

Here we use MetaMask as an example.

Step 1.

Install MetaMask, either the browser plugin or the phone app, and create an account. Remember: do not leak your mnemonic phrases or private key to anyone.

Step 2.

Open MetaMask. Click on the dropdown menu at the top. And click the “Add Network” button at the bottom of the menu.

Step 3.

In the new window opened, fill in the following info. Ignore any warning and click “Save”.

Network Name: ETHW-mainnet

New RPC URL: https://mainnet.ethereumpow.org

Chain ID: 10001

Currency Symbol: ETHW

Block Explorer URL(Optional): https://mainnet.ethwscan.com

Step 4.

(If you cannot connect to the network, try to use or change VPN.)

Now your ETHW token balance should be automatically shown in your wallet. So looks like this wallet held 0.012 ETH at the snapshot.

Step 5.

Other wallets should be similar, just find the place to “Add a Network” and fill in the ETHW mainnet info.
