Ethereum Classic Vision is a hard fork of Ethereum that will take place on the 11th of January before Constantinople. All holders of Ethereum will receive 3 ETCV for each ETH in their wallets. This hard fork leverages the best of both Ethereum and Ethereum classic. It promises to introduce PoS mining, sharding and solve many of the current challenges in the market.

In the case of Ethereum Nowa, its hard fork will happen on the 12th of January. Each owner of ETH will get 1 ETN. However, there are words of caution on the BitcoinTalk forum warning that this fork might be fraudulent. Users are advised to be carefule moving forward with the ETN hard fork.

With the Constantinople hard fork only days away, it is advisable to leave your ETH in trusted exchanges such as Binance or OKEx. If a hard fork is legitimate, these exchanges will facilitate the airdrops.
