PulseChain Goals
Increase Ethereum’s value
Ethereum’s fees will be lowered by sharing its load.
Enrich ETH users
PulseChain will re-enable priced out use cases: Instead of launching empty, PulseChain brings the ETH system state and ERC20s, this rewards holders and founders of Ethereum based projects.
Enrich ERC20 and NFT users
The launch of PulseChain is the largest airdrop in history. Thousands of Ethereum based tokens and NFTs receive their free PulseChain versions. This new gold rush contains the value discovery of thousands of tokens and NFTs on PulseChain. If you always wanted to be a whale in a certain ERC20 or NFT, maybe now you can be.
Easy to use
Your MetaMask wallet just works, you only have to change a single setting to access PulseChain. ETH holders can transact for free with freemium PLS.
Lower PulseChain fees and serve more users
PulseChain increases the throughput of Ethereum 4x by using 3 second block times. Ethereum’s average block time is around 13 seconds.
Remove pollution
By replacing proof of work miners with proof of stake validators PulseChain doesn’t burn “waste” any energy making it environmentally friendly.
Improve game theory
PLS has 0% inflation. Validators only earn fees and 25% of the fees are burnt to reduce the circulating supply.
Empower PulseChain holders
PulseChain’s native token $PLS can be staked and delegated to validators that reward the delegators with the largest percentage of fees.
Interoperability “Bridging”
ETH can be traded on the Pulse network and PLS can be traded on the Ethereum network. Bridging can also be done to other smart contract capable networks.
ETH on PulseChain: You can send ETH to the PulseBridge contract on ETH which locks it and issues pETH (pulseETH) on PulseChain at a 1:1 ratio.
PLS on Ethereum: You can send PLS to the ETHbridge contract on PulseChain which locks it and issues ePLS (ethPulse) on the Ethereum network 1:1. This can also work for ERC20s.
New: The Pulse Testnet is live.
Currently the second version of the PulseChain Testnet is live with validator rotation, registration, and staking. You can connect MetaMask now to view a copy of all of your ERC20 Tokens.
To connect to the Testnet open MetaMask and click the Networks dropdown. Select “Custom Network”. Now enter the following information:
You can connect instantly by going to https://faucet.v2.testnet.pulsechain.com/
Or Connect Manualy
Network Name:
PulseChain Testnet
New RPC URL:
https://rpc.v2.testnet.pulsechain.com
Chain ID:
940
Currency Symbol:
tPLS
Block Explorer URL:
https://scan.v2.testnet.pulsechain.com
You must manually add your ERC20s for them to show. The snapshot for the balances for this testnet were a couple months ago.
Get free tPLS (worthless Testnet Pulse) at the official Faucet, stake them to earn yield and swap between PLS and PRC20s on the PulseChain Uniswap frontend.
You can see all of the Testnet activity on the Testnet Block Explorer.
You will be able to swap PLSX (the native Token of PulseX.com) into PLS before the bridges open, possibly at quite a good rate. You can sacrifice right now for PulseX and you might get free PLSX airdropped which you could swap for PLS as soon as the PulseChain mainnet goes live.
ONCE You have acquired tPLS and any other token of choice you can test the bridge and send to the Eth Ropsten testnet.
