PulseChain is an Ethereum-forked Layer-1: existing Solidity patterns, JSON-RPC methods, and wallet flows largely carry over. Builders typically start by adding PulseChain as a custom EVM network in their wallet or backend configuration.
Commonly referenced network parameters (verify before production):
- Network name: PulseChain
- RPC URL:
https://rpc.pulsechain.com(copy from official docs if it changes) - Chain ID: 369
- Currency symbol: PLS
- Block explorer: use the explorer URL shown in official wallet setup materials (IPFS-based explorer endpoints have appeared in public documentation).
Smart contracts deployed before the fork retain bytecode and state as of the fork snapshot; new deployments follow the same toolchain as Ethereum (Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, etc.) with RPC and chain ID pointed at PulseChain.
For cross-chain applications, bridge contracts on Ethereum and PulseChain follow the usual lock-and-mint / burn-and-release patterns described in the PulseChain Bridge article. Always read the latest audited contract addresses from official bridge interfaces before integrating.
