Summary: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Major cryptocurrency exchange Bybit will support the Ethereum proof-of-work hard fork called ETHW, the platform announced<\/a> via a website update and tweet on Wednesday. Also, the exchange will support ETHW token airdrops and trading following the merge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exchange shared the news ahead of Ethereum\u2019s upcoming upgrade from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. \u201cThe Merge\u201d as the upgrade is known in the crypto community is only hours away at press time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ethereum PoS would adopt an energy-efficient consensus mechanism and leverage network participants with staked Ether (ETH) for network security among other key blockchain needs. These participants are known as Stakes in a PoS network and would essentially replace miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bybit said ETHW tokens would be distributed eight hours after the merge goes live. The exchange plans to support the airdrop, hard-forked token deposits, and trading. Bybit will also list ETHW\/USDT for futures trading via perpetual contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBybit Ready To Distribute ETHW Tokens Right After The Merge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
