Piteas DEX Aggregator
Piteas (app.piteas.io) is a DEX aggregator on PulseChain: for each swap it searches the pools of several PulseChain exchanges (PulseX, 9inch, 9mm, Phux and others) and shows the route it chose. It swaps PLS and PRC-20 tokens on PulseChain.
Important Security Note: app.piteas.io is the only official Piteas interface (Piteas's own wording); piteas.io is its information site and docs.piteas.io its documentation. Phishing copies use look-alike domains, and the browser's address bar shows which domain is open.
Prepare Your Wallet
Use a wallet that supports PulseChain (chain ID 369), such as MetaMask, Rabby Wallet, Internet Money Wallet, OKX Wallet or Trust Wallet. A mobile wallet connects over WalletConnect only if it supports PulseChain.
Add/switch to the PulseChain network (if not already added):
- Network Name: PulseChain
- RPC URL: https://rpc.pulsechain.com
- Chain ID: 369
- Currency Symbol: PLS
- Block Explorer URL: https://ipfs.scan.pulsechain.com
Ensure you have some PLS (for gas fees) and the tokens you want to swap.
Visit the Official Site
Go to app.piteas.io.
Connect Your Wallet
- Click the Connect Wallet button (usually prominent on the page).
- Select your wallet from the list of options (MetaMask, Rabby, Internet Money, etc.).
- If using WalletConnect, scan the QR code with your mobile wallet.
- Approve the connection request in your wallet.
- Once connected, your wallet address should appear on the site, and you'll see your balances.
Perform a Swap (Trade)
On the main Swap page:
- In the "From" section, select or paste the token address you want to sell (or search from the token list). Enter the amount.
- In the "To" section, select or paste the token you want to receive.
- Piteas finds the route automatically and refreshes it each block; Show Route opens a panel showing the route it found.
- Review the quote: expected output amount, price impact and slippage tolerance. The only fee line in the quote is the estimated gas fee. By Piteas's documentation, any Piteas fee is a share of the improvement over the next-best route and is already inside the quoted amount; standard routes usually carry none, and Piteas also keeps any positive slippage (Piteas docs).
- Adjust slippage if needed. Piteas defaults to Auto. A higher tolerance lets a volatile trade go through but lowers the minimum received and, in Piteas's own warning, can expose the swap to front-running; a lower one can make the transaction fail.
- Click Swap. A "Review swap" window opens.
- The first sale of a PRC-20 token through Piteas (PLS itself needs none) needs a token approval before the swap. The large Approve button grants Piteas an unlimited allowance for that token, and the allowance stays after the visit. The smaller link under it, "or approve only [amount] [token] instead", limits the allowance to this swap, so the next sale asks for approval again. Either one is a separate wallet transaction paid in PLS.
- Click "Confirm swap" and confirm the transaction in the wallet. Confirmation on PulseChain is usually fast and low-cost.
Additional Features
- Tokens Page: Visit app.piteas.io/tokens/pulsechain to browse tokens, view prices/charts, and manage them.
- Buy Crypto Page: app.piteas.io/buy embeds RampNow (buy PLS with fiat) and ChangeNOW (exchange ETH to PLS), both third-party services.
- Account Panel: Clicking the connected address shows the wallet's total PLS balance, a View Portfolio button that opens the address on plsfolio.com (a separate site), and an Activity list of the swaps made through Piteas in this browser on this device. The Activity list is stored in the browser, so another device or a cleared browser shows none.
Easy Way to Add Tokens to Your Wallet
Piteas makes token management simple through its dedicated Tokens page (app.piteas.io/tokens/pulsechain):
- Search or browse the list of tokens on PulseChain.
- "Add to Wallet" button — One-click addition to supported wallets like MetaMask (automatically detects symbol, decimals, and logo).
- "Copy Address" — Copies the contract address of the token row picked. Piteas's list is a convenience, not a registry of official addresses: one ticker can belong to several contracts, and the list carries more than one token with the ticker HEX.
- "View on Explorer" — Opens the token's contract on otter.pulsechain.com (Otterscan, a PulseChain explorer); holder lists and token transfers are on the PulseChain explorer at ipfs.scan.pulsechain.com.
The Tokens page saves typing a contract address, but the address it copies belongs to whichever row was picked. Genuine ACTR and HTT addresses are listed in the Manual's Appendix A and on docs.actuator.finance/contracts; neither lists every HTT series, and a genuine HTT of any series is one created by the HEXTimeTokenManager (How to Buy Your First HTT shows that check).
Pro Tips
- Piteas's documentation states that its quote, with its own fee already inside it, is expected to be at worst equal to the best single-DEX route (Piteas docs); quoting the same swap on PulseX shows the difference for that trade.
- Keep your wallet updated and only approve transactions you understand.
- The Internet Money Wallet guide covers one PulseChain-native wallet that connects to Piteas.
