The Security Checklist: What to Do, in What Order β
Bringing Funds to PulseChain
How to get your funds onto PulseChain β from banks, Ethereum, or other chains
- From Banks and Back to Banks
Old Glory Bank β 0xCoast β PulseChain, a US bank-to-wallet path. Fund an Old Glory account by ACH, mobile check or cash at retail locations, send to Coast with Old Glory Pay, then buy PLS, PLSX or HEX from the Coast balance (Coast’s help: 4β8 minutes per buy). The guide also covers the return trip to the bank.
Beginner
- Internet Money Wallet
Non-custodial, open-source wallet with native PulseChain support. Built-in Bridge for cross-chain swaps, optimized gas, and easy bridging from Ethereum, Base, or BSC. Android, iOS, and Chrome extension.
Beginner
- ProveX Using Zelle from Your Bank
P2P fiat-to-crypto on-ramp, in beta. A PulseChain transaction (Start Order) reserves a seller’s USDC. The Zelle payment then goes from Chase, Bank of America or Citi, and Peer’s PeerAuth browser extension proves it. A second wallet transaction (Complete Order) releases the USDC, less a 2% fee. Both transactions pay gas in PLS. No KYC, full self-custody.
Beginner
- Bridging from Ethereum
Use the official PulseChain bridge to transfer USDC, DAI, ETH, eHEX, and WBTC from Ethereum to PulseChain. Two-way, ~10β30 minutes. No bridge fee on the way in (Ethereum gas only); 0.3% on the way back to Ethereum. Step-by-step with security tips.
Intermediate
- Liberty Swap
Intent-based cross-chain swap platform, paid out on PulseChain from Liberty’s own reserves. Swap USDC from Ethereum, Base, BSC, Arbitrum or Solana (plus USDT, DAI or ETH from some of those chains) into PLS, HEX or stables on PulseChain. About 2β3 minutes, 0.3% fee on the way in; a separate RAILGUN route carries ETH and USDC privately.
