The PulseChain Ecosystem
Last Verified: June 30, 2026
PulseChain has a functioning, multi-category ecosystem spanning exchanges, bridges, fiat on-ramps, wallets, analytics, and DeFi infrastructure. This directory organizes the major active projects by category with a three-tier verification label so readers can assess the trust basis of each entry before using it.

How This Directory Works
Each entry carries one of three labels:
OFFICIAL: Official PulseChain or Richard Heart-core infrastructure confirmed by primary sources.
VERIFIED: Confirmed active and independently verifiable community or ecosystem infrastructure. Not official in the team sense, but live and trackable.
PARTIAL: Limited primary source confirmation at the time of research. Verify live before using.
This page is a research reference, not a recommendation list. Every entry should be verified against its official URL before transacting. URLs and project statuses change; use this directory as a starting point, not a final word.
Official Core Infrastructure
These are the foundational layer of PulseChain. All are confirmed official or RH-core projects.
PulseChain [OFFICIAL] pulsechain.com: The official network hub. Network details, RPC endpoint (https://rpc.pulsechain.com), Chain ID 369, ecosystem links, and onboarding guidance.
PulseX [OFFICIAL] pulsex.com / app.pulsex.com: The official primary DEX for PulseChain. Covered in full at PulseX Explained.
Official PulseChain Bridge [OFFICIAL] bridge.pulsechain.com: The official bridge hub for moving assets between Ethereum and PulseChain. Covered in full at PulseChain Bridge Guide.
HEX [OFFICIAL] hex.com: The HEX staking protocol, core to the PulseChain ecosystem and available on both Ethereum and PulseChain. Full breakdown of staking mechanics, pHEX vs eHEX, and risk considerations at HEX on PulseChain.
PulseChain Explorer [OFFICIAL] scan.pulsechain.com / ipfs.scan.pulsechain.com: The official Blockscout-based block explorer. The IPFS-hosted version (ipfs.scan.pulsechain.com) is the recommended choice for censorship resistance.
PulseChain Validator Launchpad [OFFICIAL] launchpad.pulsechain.com: Official infrastructure for registering and running PulseChain validators. The entry point for anyone looking to participate in securing the network directly rather than through a liquid staking protocol.
DEXes and Trading
PulseX [OFFICIAL] pulsex.com: The primary decentralized exchange on PulseChain, with V1, V2, and StableSwap pools. Current liquidity and trading statistics are available on PulseChain Stats. Full breakdown at PulseX Explained.
9MM Pro [VERIFIED] 9mm.pro: Active multi-chain DEX with PulseChain support.
Piteas [VERIFIED] piteas.io: PulseChain DEX aggregator routing across PulseX V1, V2, and StableSwap plus other sources for best execution. The recommended starting point for finding optimal swap routes on PulseChain.
Pump.tires [VERIFIED] pump.tires: Meme token launchpad for PulseChain using a bonding curve model. Tokens trade on the bonding curve until 200M PLS of liquidity accumulates, at which point they graduate to PulseX with liquidity permanently locked and contract ownership renounced. The platform charges no fees; a 1% burn on buys and sells in PLS applies before graduation. A prominent ecosystem project tracked on pulsechainstats.com. No independent audit has been published for the platform contracts. Official attribution to Richard Heart has not been confirmed from primary sources; treat as a prominent ecosystem project rather than official infrastructure.
Bridges and Cross-Chain
Official PulseChain Bridge [OFFICIAL] bridge.pulsechain.com: Lock-and-mint bridge between Ethereum and PulseChain. Full trust model breakdown at PulseChain Bridge Guide.
Liberty Swap [VERIFIED] libertyswap.finance: Intent-based cross-chain bridge and DEX covering PulseChain, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and BSC. Non-custodial; solvers fulfil user-specified outcomes. Operates as both a bridge for asset movement between chains and a DEX for swaps within those chains. Listed on the official PulseChain bridge hub.

No intermediary custody; settlement goes directly to the merchant's wallet.
Wallets

Privacy Stack
PulseChain's base layer does not offer native transaction privacy. All on-chain activity is publicly visible. For users who need privacy, the ZKX wallet ecosystem provides a layered solution built on Railgun's zero-knowledge proof cryptography.
ZKX Wallet [VERIFIED]: Privacy-first browser extension with Railgun shielding and stealth addresses natively integrated. Designed for users who want greater on-chain transaction privacy through integrated Railgun shielding and stealth address support. The tactical choice for users prioritising transaction privacy over general-purpose convenience.
Railgun Protocol (via ZKX): The underlying cryptographic layer. Railgun uses zero-knowledge proofs to shield token balances and transaction details while keeping assets on-chain and spendable. ZKX integrates Railgun natively, meaning shielded transactions can be initiated directly from the wallet without a separate interface.
Stealth Addresses (via ZKX): ZKX supports stealth address generation, allowing users to receive assets at single-use addresses that cannot be linked to their public wallet by an outside observer. This prevents the on-chain correlation of incoming and outgoing transactions.
Keystone Hardware Wallet: Keystone is a QR-code-based air-gapped hardware wallet that supports PulseChain through its ZKX wallet integration. Private keys never touch an internet-connected device. The ZKX software interface communicates with the Keystone device via QR codes, providing hardware-level key security alongside ZKX's privacy stack. Verify current integration status at keyst.one.
Explorers and Analytics
PulseChain Explorer (Official) [OFFICIAL] scan.pulsechain.com: Official Blockscout-based explorer for transactions, addresses, tokens, and contract verification. IPFS version (ipfs.scan.pulsechain.com) is recommended for censorship resistance.
PulseChain Stats [VERIFIED] pulsechainstats.com: The primary community analytics hub for PulseChain. Covers token holder data, burn rates, PulseX DEX metrics (TVL, volume, fees, pairs), bridge inflows and outflows, gas and PLS supply stats, validator performance, Pump.tires activity, portfolio tracking, and more. The Nexus uses pulsechainstats.com as its primary source for chain-level metrics.
PulseChain Dashboard [VERIFIED] gitlab.com/pulsechain-lunagray/pulsechain-dashboard: Open-source privacy-oriented portfolio viewer for PulseChain. Listed on pulsechain.com as a recommended resource. Self-hosted; no third-party server sees your wallet data.
OtterScan [PARTIAL] Alternative community explorer for EVM chains. PulseChain support exists in the broader tooling context but was not independently confirmed from a primary source at research date.
Identity, Staking, and Ecosystem Infrastructure
Pulse Domains [VERIFIED] pulse.domains: PulseChain's .pls naming service (PNS), equivalent to ENS on Ethereum. Maps human-readable .pls names to wallet addresses, content hashes, and profiles. Live documentation at docs.pulse.domains.
Hedron [VERIFIED] hedron.pro: Protocol built on top of HEX that enables minting and borrowing HDRN against active HEX stakes, and tokenising HEX stakes as tradeable HSI NFTs. Deployed on both Ethereum and PulseChain. Claims immutable contracts with no admin keys. Extended by Icosa (HDRN staking and stake absorption).
Vouch [VERIFIED] vouch.run: Liquid staking protocol on PulseChain. Users stake PLS and receive vPLS, a liquid derivative designed to preserve staking exposure while keeping capital deployable. Tracked on pulsechainstats.com validator dashboard.
Ecosystem at a Glance
PulseChain network activity changes continuously. Current statistics, including transaction volume, validator participation, PulseX liquidity, bridge flows, gas usage, and burn metrics, are available through PulseChain Stats and the official PulseChain explorer.
Treat any published figure as a snapshot rather than a permanent property of the network.
