As you know, Ethereum moved from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake network – to get ETHW coins from a Trezor or Ledger wallet, follow the steps.
How to check if you have been credited with ETHW?
You can find your ETHW by entering the address of your ether wallet in the blockchain of that very first ether on POW, for example in this explorer: https://www.oklink.com/en/ethw. Just enter there the addresses of your ether wallets where you had real ethers at the time of “Merge” and you will see your ETHWs there.

Step 1 — Install MetaMask in Chrome Browser
The fox will appear in your chrome browser. Click and a separate page for MetaMask management will open.
Press “Get Started“
In this step, MetaMask asks permission to collect data about the use of the extension.
I clicked “No Thanks“
Trezor or Ledget hardware wallet?
If you still don’t have the most secure hardware wallet to store your Bitcoin or Ethereum.
We chose Trezor, the Best Bitcoin Hardware Wallet
Step 2 — Create a New Wallet on MetaMask
Press “Create a Wallet“
Next, you need to come up with a password of 8 characters or more. After that press “Create“
Step 3 — Create a MetaMask recovery passphrase
This page has a short video for those who don’t know what a secret recovery phrase.
Press “Next“
Secret Recovery Phrase
Press “Click here to reveal secret words“
Great. Writing down secret words with a pen on paper! (This is the best storage option) Photo or storing words on computers to recover access to metamask is very dangerous. I do it the old-fashioned way, in a notebook or on a piece of paper.
After you have recorded the phrases, press “Next“
Confirm your Secret Recovery Phrase
Please select each phrase in order to make sure it is correct.
After entering the secret words in order, press “Confirm“
Congratulations :)! You have created a wallet for your MetaMask and you can proceed to the next step.
Press “All Done“
Step 4 — Connect Hardware Wallet (Trezor or Ledger)
Next we need to connect the tresor or leger to the metamask for the next step. You can see more about how to connect a hardware wallet in the video. The next step is to work with ETHW.
Connect a hardware wallet Trezor
Press “Continue“
Press “Allow once for this session“
You are allowing the wallet number to be shown from your Trezor. This is a safe operation.
Press “Export“
Enter Pin from your Trezor
Press “Confirm“
The next step is to show the wallet without a password.
For those who have created a Trezor secret password, enter the secret password.
I have two options. To simplify the instructions, I select without entering a password, just a button “Enter”
Step 5 — Select Ethereum Account
Press “Unlock“
Select the wallet number where the Ethereum is stored. Next, let’s move on to ETHW Ethereum.
Then at the top click on Ethereum Mainnet
Next, press “Add Network“
