Bridge Ethereum and PulseChain
The official PulseChain bridge is a lock-and-mint OmniBridge between Ethereum and PulseChain. It is not instant. ETH typically arrives as WETH-from-Ethereum, not native PLS. LibertySwap is a community third-party intent rail and is not the official bridge. HEXPLS never mixes official bridge status with third-party swap status. Bridging is not a price promise. You need PLS for PulseChain gas.
How to bridge Ethereum and PulseChain on HEXPLS
Move value on the official PulseChain OmniBridge. It is lock-and-mint, not instant, and not LibertySwap.
- Choose Ethereum → PulseChain or PulseChain → Ethereum.
- Pick the asset and amount, and confirm the destination address.
- Read what you will receive on the other side, including that ETH typically arrives as WETH-from-Ethereum, not PLS.
- Sign the official OmniBridge transaction in your wallet.
- Wait for confirmations, then minted or released. Use LibertySwap only if you accept a 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.
Move value without fear
Official path is lock-and-mint. Direction, asset, and what you receive are spelled out before you sign.
You send — HEX on Ethereum.
You receive the bridged representation on PulseChain. ETH becomes WETH-from-Ethereum (not PLS). HEX stays HEX at the same address only if you bridge native HEX — bridged copies are different contracts. Check the address.
Time: often ~10–30+ minutes depending on validators. Fee: token approvals + gas on the source chain, plus the bridge’s own fee manager (not 0% in both directions).

HEXPLS watches your source receipt. Finality on the destination is the official bridge validators — open the official app if a message sits. We never mix this tracker with LibertySwap.

Liberty-style rails
Community / third-party. Intent-based. ETH, Base, Arbitrum, BSC ↔ PulseChain. Often used to buy HEX/PLS without a manual bridge dance. This is not the official PulseChain bridge. Different trust model. Different status page.
