About
Built by a Hexican, for Hexicans
HEXPLS.COM was built by E (@kireguy), a Linux IT geek and OG Hexican. It is a non-custodial frontend for staking HEX, swapping on PulseX, bridging to PulseChain, and exploring the chain. HEXPLS does not custody funds and does not issue HEX, PLS, PLSX, or INC.
They call me E. On X I’m @kireguy. I have been a Hexican long enough that it is just in the bio. I got quiet, kept stacking, and got tired of watching people I love using tools I hate.
Why I built this
As much fun as it is being the friends & family helpdesk for hex-server and pulsex-server, it doesn't scale.
The wife test
Stakes end. Stakes burn. Local hex-server needs an update. I should not need to teach my wife how to git pull from a repo and compile Go source code to end her HEX stake. HEXPLS is the version I am willing to hand her with confidence.
Dad on a site I don’t trust
If someone I love is about to sign a HEX transaction, I want to know whose frontend it is. Dad does not need a GitLab release zip. He needs a site with a name on it. I got tired of hearing “now I just use this random tool.” So I made one.
The quiet years
I stopped engaging with the community. I DCAd. I watched, running my own tools, running my own validators. Strong hands do not need a personal brand. However, they do need a door that does not scare new people off. HEXPLS is that door.
HEXPLS is non-custodial. Keys stay in your wallet. Contracts stay official. I did not rewrite HEX. I made the door nicer.
Who I am
- Linux IT geek — that is the skill, not a costume. I self-host. I read GitLab.
- OG Hexican — it is in the live X bio because I put it there years ago. I pride myself on it.
- Verified on X — a small trust chip, not a financial license.
What this is not
Not a team, not VC, not a foundation, not an official PulseChain partner. Not AUM theater. HEXPLS does not issue HEX, PLS, PLSX, or INC. I am one person.
Receipts
Don’t take my word for it.

@kireguyAll good gents, was a good opportunity for the HEX community to get some more publicity - this movement is just getting started.

@kireguyWell said fellow HEXican, you got my following.

@kireguyThis is how it's done, my friend. I did the same for my Godson a couple years ago. It'll be quite the fun surprise when they figure out what HEX is then.

@kireguyIt only makes sense if it's #PulseChain

Trust through architecture
How HEXPLS is built
Non-custodial. No seed phrases. Ever.
PulseChain + Ethereum. HEX contract
Frontends inspired by / wrapping / forking official open source:
- gitlab.com/pulsechaincom/hex-server
- gitlab.com/pulsechaincom/pulsex-server
- gitlab.com/pulsechaincom/pulsechain-bridge-server
- gitlab.com/pulsechaincom/pulsechain-explorer-server
Tool pages keep an “Open official app” hatch to https://go.hex.com, https://app.pulsex.com, and https://bridge.pulsechain.com.
HEXPLS is a community frontend. It is not PulseChain Inc, not hex.com, not Richard Heart.
No weak hands
Delayed gratification is the product
HEX is a time product. 1 to 5,555 days. Longer pays better. That only works if the people you onboard can actually use the tool when a stake matures. I built this so the next Hexican in my family does not fold because the UI felt like 2019. If you are here to flip and scream, the rest of the site is still useful. This page is for the ones who stayed.
The human
I read it
X: @kireguy. Email: [email protected]. Form: /contact. I am one person. I am not a 24/7 support desk. Honesty is trust.
Questions people actually ask
Who built HEXPLS?
HEXPLS.COM was built by E (@kireguy), a Linux IT geek and OG Hexican. It is a non-custodial frontend for staking HEX, swapping on PulseX, bridging to PulseChain, and exploring the chain. HEXPLS does not custody funds and does not issue HEX, PLS, PLSX, or INC.
Is HEXPLS official?
No. HEXPLS is a community frontend. It is not PulseChain Inc, not hex.com, and not Richard Heart. It wraps the same open-source official servers and the same HEX contract. Tool pages keep an Open official app escape hatch.
Does HEXPLS hold my keys?
No. HEXPLS is non-custodial. Keys stay in your wallet. HEXPLS never asks for a seed phrase.
How do I contact the builder?
E reads mail at [email protected] and is @kireguy on X. There is a form on /contact. He is one person, not a 24/7 support desk.
Why should I trust a site that just appeared?
You should verify it. The builder is @kireguy, X user 44737584, an old-web account with OG HEXican in the live bio. HEXPLS does not custody funds, does not rewrite HEX/PulseX/bridge contracts, and publishes the GitLab servers it wraps. Receipts are public X posts, not a founder myth.
