What is PulseChain
PulseChain is an independent EVM layer-1 launched 13 May 2023 as a full Ethereum state copy at Ethereum block 17,232,999. Chain ID 369. Native gas token PLS. RPC https://rpc.pulsechain.com. Explorers https://scan.pulsechain.com and https://ipfs.scan.pulsechain.com. Block time is about 10 seconds. Fees are typically sub-cent, which is why smaller HEX stakes are viable on PulseChain.
PulseChain copied Ethereum state at block 17,232,999. Your eHEX balance also exists as pHEX — that is the fork copy. Bridging HEX later creates different wrapped tokens. Do not mix them up.

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.
