ETH Plus or Ethereum Plus is a digital payment method platform. According to the whitepaper, the platform aims to develop a protocol as compatible as the Ethereum protocol. The platform was designed to reduce the requirement to implement changes made to complete nodes, wallets, groups, and Ethereum miners. However, a strong fork is needed to implement changes to existing blockchains. 

Thus, Eth PLUS token acts as a digital payment method that seeks to take care of areas of improvement like safety, liquidity, wallets, etc., left by other assets up until now. 

Ethereum Plus has a standard according to which the header of every block has a list of transactions and the Merkle hash root of every transaction. In a blockchain, a Merkle root is a hash function of all the hash functions of all the transactions occurring in a block. Since a transaction cant be added to the chain right away, it is held for 24 hours in a special section called the alert section. This section is not present in the original Bitcoin protocol. 

The Merkle hash root for the alert transaction is kept on the entrance of the coinbase transaction to maintain compatibility to the block header like the original Bitcoin. All the valid transaction warnings are confirmed and filled with the new block’s transaction section. 

The core functionality of ETHPlus is accessible via a complex block script that behaves differently based on the number of confirmations submitted on the unblocking script. There are two ways that it is done:

Lastly, ETHPlus aims to eliminate the 24-hour confirmation period and accelerate it to 10 minutes. For this purpose, the platform requires an additional signature from a separate private key stored in a different location. EPlus is an ERC-20 token, and since the token has released its maximum supply and met all the standards, the system is now compatible to perform and receive payments and complete transaction analysis and monitoring through Etherscan. 

EPlus was launched in February 2020 by Fernando Urdaneta and has a maximum total supply of 20,000,000 coins.
