Networks field guide
An Ethereum-compatible network.
PulseChain is an EVM-compatible blockchain ecosystem with PLS as its native token. It is designed to run Ethereum-style wallets and applications.
Know the backstory
Built by: Richard Heart and the PulseChain community
PulseChain launched as an Ethereum-compatible proof-of-stake network. It began from an Ethereum system-state fork, creating a separate network with its own chain ID, native PLS for gas, and its own transaction history.
Why it stands apart
EVM-compatible means Ethereum-style wallets, addresses, and contracts can work with it; it does not mean assets, balances, applications, liquidity, or security are the same as Ethereum's.
Bottom line: PulseChain is its own network. The chain, contract address, liquidity, and bridge route all matter before a familiar-looking asset has practical value.
Follow the money
Know the economics
PLS is the network's native gas asset. Supply and validator incentives follow PulseChain's protocol rules. Use current network data instead of relying on an old promotional supply figure.
Protect the downside
Copied tokens are not automatically liquid, supported, or equal in value to their Ethereum counterparts. Confirm the chain, URL, token contract, market liquidity, and bridge route before signing anything.
Go beyond the summary
PulseChain gives Ethereum-style applications another EVM network to run on. For a newcomer, the hardest part is not the wallet—it is distinguishing the copied state from supported, liquid, actively maintained assets.
PulseChain began with a copy of Ethereum's system state at a historical point. A copied token balance or contract is now on a separate network and does not automatically carry the original issuer's backing, support, or market value.
PLS is the native network asset used for transaction fees. Holding an application token does not remove the need for enough PLS to submit transactions.
An address may resemble an Ethereum contract because of the fork, but the chain ID determines which network you are actually using. Verify both together.
A copied token came from the initial state fork. A bridged token represents value moved through bridge contracts. They can have different addresses, backing, liquidity, and risks.
What people use it for
Before you act
Common questions
No. State was copied, but issuer support, redemption rights, liquidity, application support, and market demand did not automatically transfer.
Many EVM wallets can connect after adding PulseChain, but you must verify the network settings and remember that the same address can hold different assets on different chains.
PLS is PulseChain's native gas asset. PLSX is associated with PulseX, a decentralized-exchange protocol. They serve different roles.
No. A bridge interacts with cross-chain contracts or operators. Verify the official bridge, both destination networks, and the exact asset received.

Verify it yourself
A block explorer lets you inspect public transactions, blocks, addresses, and fees. Never paste a recovery phrase or private key into one.
