How to get here from Ethereum
The official PulseChain bridge is a lock-and-mint OmniBridge between Ethereum and PulseChain. It is not instant. ETH sent from Ethereum arrives as WETH on PulseChain, not PLS. That same WETH sent back arrives as ETH. LibertySwap is a community third-party intent rail used to buy HEX or PLS from other chains. HEXPLS labels that path as third-party and never mixes its status with the official bridge.
Add PulseChain (chain ID 369) and keep a little PLS for gas. WETH cannot pay gas.
Ethereum → PulseChain: send native ETH. You receive WETH on PulseChain (Wrapped Ether from Ethereum), not PLS. After you have PLS for gas, swap that WETH for PLS, HEX, PLSX, or INC.
PulseChain → Ethereum: swap the token you hold into that same WETH, then bridge WETH. You receive ETH on Ethereum.
LibertySwap is a labeled third-party rail. HEXPLS does not mix its status with the official bridge.
How to bridge Ethereum and PulseChain on HEXPLS
ETH on Ethereum becomes WETH on PulseChain. That same WETH bridged back becomes ETH. Lock-and-mint, not instant, and not LibertySwap.
- To leave PulseChain: swap PLS, HEX, PLSX, or INC to WETH on Swap. Keep a little PLS for gas.
- On Bridge choose PulseChain → Ethereum. The asset is WETH → ETH. Sign on PulseChain. You receive ETH on Ethereum.
- To arrive: choose Ethereum → PulseChain and send ETH. You receive WETH on PulseChain, not PLS.
- Swap that WETH for PLS, HEX, PLSX, or INC only after you already hold PLS for gas.
- Confirm the destination. It defaults to the connected wallet. Wait for the official bridge. LibertySwap is a separate third-party rail.
Questions people actually ask
What is PulseChain chain ID 369?
PulseChain is an independent EVM layer-1. Chain ID 369. Native gas token PLS. RPC https://rpc.pulsechain.com. Explorer https://scan.pulsechain.com. Block time is about 10 seconds and fees are typically sub-cent.
What is the difference between pHEX and eHEX?
After the 13 May 2023 PulseChain fork, HEX exists as eHEX on Ethereum and pHEX on PulseChain. They share contract address 0x2b591e99afe9f32eaa6214f7b7629768c40eeb39 and the same staking logic. They do not share liquidity or gas. Bridging HEX later creates different wrapped tokens. They are not interchangeable.
Is HEXPLS custodial?
No. HEXPLS is non-custodial. Keys stay in your wallet. HEXPLS never takes custody, never asks for a seed phrase, and never promises APY or price. View-only address lookup needs no signature.
