One such platform to run on AVA is Athereum(ATH), a friendly fork which basically replicates the ethereum network, including all account balances and contracts, onto the new network.
In many ways it’s similar to a chain-split where 1 eth is equal to 1 corresponding coin, in this case, 1 eth plus 1 ATH (athereum).
There is no chain-split however, there’s no contention or anything, but everyone who has eth gets ath. The reason is because they want to showcase the new protocol which is based on what is claimed to be an anonymous paper.
>> Question: Do we really get free ATH if we have ETH? Will it be same as ETH?

It doesn't look like an official event from ETH, becareful with scam since so many people are scamming other people nowdays in cryptocurrency. But if it's legit i think the coin is could be worth it. Just don't ever giving away or entry something sensitive like password or private keys that could be something that can harm our wallet
