Ethereum Classic is getting a fair share of the miners who can no longer mine Ethereum after its consensus mechanism was changed to proof-of-stake following completion of the Merge.

The surge of PoW miners into Ethereum Classic post-Merge has increased its hashrate by over 250% in the last 24 hours, according to 2Miners data.

As of press time, Ethereum Classic’s hashrate is at a record high of 222.5 terahash per second (TH/s), showing an over 250% surge in the last 24 hours. Its native ETC token is currently trading at $37.74.

Ethereum Classic is actively rooting to welcome more miners to its ecosystem. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin had endorsed the network for PoW miners looking to continue mining post-merge.

Other networks welcoming Miners

An earlier poll by @cryptovium revealed that PoW miners were looking to move into Ethereum Classic, Ergo, Ravecoin, and Flux after the merge. Available data from 2Miners indicates that their hash rates are also surging.

Following the success of the Merge, Ergo’s hashrate has surged to a record high of 137 TH/s, recording over 400% increase in the last 24 hours.
