Internet Money Wallet
Internet Money Wallet is a non-custodial, open-source wallet for Bitcoin, Ethereum and EVM chains (Android, iOS, Chrome extension) with PulseChain built in. Internet Money Wallet’s PulseChain connection is one gateway, rpc.pulsechain.com, set by Internet Money’s servers with no spare (see RPC). On PulseChain, Internet Money Wallet sets a transaction’s maximum fee at twice the gas price the network quotes when the transaction is sent, which leaves room for fees to rise before it confirms. Internet Money Wallet includes a built-in Bridge (a cross-chain swap powered by ChangeNOW) and connects to dApps for bridging.
Prerequisites
Download the Internet Money Wallet:
- Mobile: App Store or Google Play
- Desktop: Chrome Web Store (the listing linked from internetmoney.io)
- Back up the Seed Phrase during setup (a new Internet Money wallet gets 24 words).
- Have funds on a supported source chain (e.g., ETH or USDC on Ethereum, BNB on BSC, or stables on Base/Arbitrum).
- Add a small amount of native gas token on the source chain for fees.
- PulseChain gas is paid in PLS. Method A delivers PLS; Method B and the official bridge deliver bridged tokens with no PLS.
Set Up PulseChain in the Wallet
- Open the Internet Money Wallet.
- Go to Networks or Add Network.
- PulseChain is built in: it is Internet Money Wallet’s first default network, and Internet Money Wallet’s Add Network screen refuses chain ID 369 while PulseChain is listed. If PulseChain was removed, re-add it with:
- Network Name: PulseChain
- RPC URL: https://rpc.pulsechain.com
- Chain ID: 369
- Currency Symbol: PLS
- Block Explorer URL: https://ipfs.scan.pulsechain.com
- Switch to the PulseChain network in your wallet.
Bring Funds into the Wallet (Source Chain)
- Buy or transfer crypto (e.g., ETH, USDC) to your Internet Money Wallet address on Ethereum, BSC, Base, or another supported chain.
- The wallet supports fiat on-ramps in some regions (check the Buy feature for available currencies).
Bridge to PulseChain
Method A: The Wallet’s Built-In Bridge (ChangeNOW, PLS Only)
- In the wallet, open Bridge (a tab in the Chrome extension; inside the Menu tab in the mobile app). The Swap feature trades on one chain only.
- Pick the source network (e.g., Ethereum). The Bridge sends that network’s native coin (e.g., ETH, BNB, BTC).
- Pick PulseChain as the destination. The Bridge delivers PLS, the only PulseChain coin it offers.
- Enter the amount and review the quote. The Bridge is powered by ChangeNOW, an instant-exchange service, and the quote is ChangeNOW’s own floating rate.
- Confirm. The coins go to a ChangeNOW deposit address, and ChangeNOW pays PLS to the wallet from its own reserves; nothing crosses the PulseChain bridge.
- ChangeNOW sets a minimum and a maximum for each swap. An amount outside that range makes the app show the live limit, and the Bridge does not go ahead until the amount fits. On 2026-09-23 the ETH-to-PLS maximum was 0.0303 ETH (about $80.3), and the range moves through the day. While the swap runs, ChangeNOW holds the coins, and under ChangeNOW’s own policy an exchange its risk system flags is held until the customer confirms identity.
Method B: Use tokensex.link (Recommended in Tutorials)
- Method B delivers WETH or the bridged token, not PLS. Every PulseChain transaction pays gas in PLS, so a wallet that has bridged with Method B alone cannot swap, send or bridge back until some PLS arrives. A small Method A swap delivers PLS; it needs the source chain’s own coin still in the wallet.
- Open your browser (or in-app browser) and go to tokensex.link.
- Click Connect Wallet and select Internet Money Wallet.
- Choose source network and token (e.g., ETH on Ethereum).
- Choose destination: PulseChain and receive token (e.g., WETH on PulseChain).
- Enter the amount (check minimums, e.g., ~0.018 ETH from Ethereum).
- Review fees, route, and estimated time (usually 10β30+ minutes).
- Approve the transaction in your Internet Money Wallet.
- Wait for confirmation. Tokens Express’s own Bridge Explorer (the Explorer link on tokensex.link) shows the transfer’s status, including after the window is closed.
- Switch wallet to PulseChain network β bridged assets will appear.
Alternative Bridge Sites:
- Official: bridge.pulsechain.com is a launcher, not the app. Its Launch PulseChain Bridge button opens the official bridge app on an IPFS gateway at bridge.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/…, where Internet Money Wallet connects.
- Other routes: Liberty Swap (intent-based swaps from its own pools), Rubic (a cross-chain aggregator) or Gibs Finance (a bridge for Ethereum, BSC and PulseChain) β connect Internet Money Wallet via WalletConnect
Use Funds on PulseChain
- Bridged tokens (such as WETH or USDC) arrive with no PLS. Every PulseChain transaction pays its gas in PLS, including the PulseX swap below, so a wallet holding only bridged tokens cannot send its first transaction. Routes that deliver PLS directly include the wallet’s own Bridge (Method A) and Liberty Swap.
- Switch to PulseChain network.
- Swap on PulseX: Connect Internet Money Wallet to app.pulsex.com. With some PLS already in the wallet for gas, swap bridged assets for PLS, HEX, PLSX, etc.
- Send/receive tokens directly in the wallet.
- The wallet also has its own Swap feature. Swap routes across DEXs and adds an Internet Money fee of 0.729% of the quote, paid in PLS, on top of gas and the DEX pool fees on the route. Internet Money says all of that fee goes to TIME token holders. A swap sent directly on PulseX pays gas plus the pool fee of 0.29% per pool on the route.
Tips for Success
- Gas & Fees β Each source-chain transaction pays gas in that chain’s native coin. Every PulseChain transaction pays gas in PLS, and PulseChain fees are very low.
- Track Status β Use ipfs.scan.pulsechain.com or bridge checkers. Bridging can take 10β60 minutes.
- Security β A lookalike URL is how wallets drain, and a shared Seed Phrase is shared funds. Internet Money Wallet supports every Ledger and Trezor model, which keeps the keys on the device.
- Stuck Transactions β On PulseChain, Internet Money Wallet’s default maximum fee is twice the network’s quoted gas price. A transaction that stays pending clears with time, or is replaced by a new transaction sent with a higher gas fee; Internet Money Wallet’s own message for a pending transaction says the same.
- Fiat Entry β Internet Money Wallet’s Buy feature buys a source chain’s coin (such as ETH on Ethereum) for the bridge in step 3; for a US bank or Zelle route straight onto PulseChain see 0xCoast and ProveX.
- Mobile vs. Extension β The steps match. On mobile, a dApp opens inside the wallet’s in-app browser, or connects from Safari or Chrome through WalletConnect. In the extension, the Expand tab opens the wallet in a full browser tab.
- PulseChain Native Support β Internet Money Wallet resolves PNS (.pls) names and detects PulseChain assets automatically.
Common Issues & Fixes
- Connection Problems β Try WalletConnect or open the extension in a separate tab.
- No Assets Showing β Switch networks or refresh the wallet.
- High Fees β Choose lower-gas source chains (e.g., Base) when possible.
