# How to get here from Ethereum

> The official PulseChain OmniBridge is lock-and-mint between Ethereum and PulseChain. LibertySwap is a third-party intent rail. They are not the same.

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 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).

Use the official OmniBridge for ETH/ERC-20 → PulseChain, or a labeled third-party rail like LibertySwap if you understand it is not official.

You need a pinch of PLS for gas. Bridging ETH does not automatically give native PLS — it typically arrives as WETH-from-Ethereum.

Swap for HEX on PulseX, or bridge HEX itself. Stake on /stake. Start small if you are testing the lifestyle.

## 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.

1. Choose Ethereum → PulseChain or PulseChain → Ethereum.
2. Pick the asset and amount, and confirm the destination address.
3. Read what you will receive on the other side, including that ETH typically arrives as WETH-from-Ethereum, not PLS.
4. Sign the official OmniBridge transaction in your wallet.
5. 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.
