How to Add PulseChain Network to MetaMask

How to add PulseChain network to MetaMask

Brief summary: This article explains what PulseChain is and provides clear, step-by-step instructions on how to add PulseChain to MetaMask safely. You will learn multiple methods (Chainlist, manual, one-click), how to import PulseChain tokens, troubleshooting tips, and security best practices. If you want to know how to add pulsechain network to metamask and interact with PulseChain dApps or view PLS balances, this guide walks you through every practical step.

Overview — What is PulseChain?

PulseChain is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain with a native token commonly denoted as PLS. It aims to offer lower transaction fees and faster confirmation times compared with legacy networks. Because PulseChain is EVM-compatible, Ethereum-compatible wallets such as MetaMask can connect to it to view PLS balances and interact with PulseChain dApps. If you are asking how to add pulsechain network to metamask, the most important facts are: you can add it as a custom network in MetaMask, you must verify RPC details before adding, and you will then be able to send/receive PLS and use PulseChain decentralized applications.

As of 2025-12-23, according to PulseChain official help resources and MetaMask support documentation, PulseChain uses Chain ID 369 and supports standard EVM tooling for compatibility.

Prerequisites and safety reminders

Before you try to add PulseChain to MetaMask, make sure you have these items and follow these safety reminders:

• Installed MetaMask (browser extension or mobile app) and logged into your account.
• Secure backup of your Secret Recovery Phrase stored offline. Never share your recovery phrase. Never enter it on unknown pages.
• A verified source for network configuration values. Verify chain parameters (RPC URL, Chain ID, symbol, explorer) from official PulseChain documentation or reputable documentation aggregators before adding them to MetaMask.
• Understand that adding a network alone does not expose your keys; approving transactions and connecting dApps does. Only approve transactions you intend to sign.
• Prefer read-only or public RPC endpoints from trustworthy providers; avoid random RPC URLs posted in chat groups or social media without verification.

If you plan to use a wallet dedicated for experimentation, consider creating an account with small amounts first rather than moving large holdings immediately.

Official network configuration (core RPC details)

When adding PulseChain to MetaMask manually, you will enter the following canonical network parameters. Always verify these values with official PulseChain sources before use:

• Network Name: PulseChain or PulseChain Mainnet
• RPC URL:
  https://rpc.pulsechain.com
• Chain ID:
  369
• Currency Symbol:
  PLS
• Block Explorer URL:
  https://scan.pulsechain.com
  (verify official explorer before use)

Note: Alternative RPC endpoints exist (for example hosted endpoints that require API keys). Always confirm endpoints and Chain ID from official channels before connecting.

Methods to add PulseChain to MetaMask

There are several safe methods to add PulseChain to MetaMask. Below are recommended options in order of convenience and safety.

Add via Chainlist or chain registry (recommended quick method)

Using Chainlist or a verified chain registry is often the quickest and safest method to add a custom network because these registries provide a standardized flow to push network details into MetaMask. General steps:

1. Open the chain registry website in a trusted browser.
2. Connect your MetaMask wallet when prompted (the registry only needs permission to request adding networks; you can disconnect afterward).
3. Search for "PulseChain".
4. Select the PulseChain entry and click the button to add the chain to MetaMask.
5. Approve the request inside MetaMask. MetaMask will show the network details it will add—review them.
6. Optionally switch to the network immediately inside MetaMask.

Important: When using a registry, verify the registry entry’s Chain ID and RPC URL against official PulseChain documentation.

Add manually via MetaMask settings (extension & mobile)

To add PulseChain to MetaMask by hand, follow these steps. The process is similar on MetaMask extension and mobile; the exact UI labels may differ slightly.

1. Open MetaMask and unlock your wallet.
2. Click the network selector at the top of the MetaMask window.
3. Choose "Add Network" (sometimes shown as "Add a network" or "Custom RPC").
4. Enter the network fields using verified values:
   • Network Name: PulseChain
   • New RPC URL:
     https://rpc.pulsechain.com
     (verify before use)
   • Chain ID:
     369
   • Currency Symbol:
     PLS
   • Block Explorer URL:
     https://scan.pulsechain.com
     (optional)
5. Click Save.
6. Switch to the PulseChain network in the network dropdown.

After saving, MetaMask will show the network name at the top. If you later restore your wallet or use a new device, you must re-add PulseChain on that device; networks do not auto-sync across devices.

One‑click / official site integration

Some official PulseChain project pages, block explorers, or wallets offer a one‑click "Add to MetaMask" button. This button uses a standardized Web3 method to request MetaMask to add the network. If you use such a button:

• Verify the page is an official PulseChain site or a trusted partner before clicking.
• Review the network details that MetaMask displays in the approval prompt.
• Approve only after confirming Chain ID and RPC URL match official documentation.

Never click add-network buttons from unknown or unverified pages.

Using third‑party guides and tools

Reputable guides and documentation sites (for example, independent documentation resources) can help but always cross-check values against official PulseChain docs. Use third‑party resources to learn general steps but verify exact RPC endpoints and Chain ID before adding the network.

Adding PulseChain tokens to MetaMask

After you add the PulseChain network to MetaMask, you will likely want to display specific tokens on that network (for example community tokens or the PLS token if not auto-displayed). To add a token manually:

1. Switch MetaMask to the PulseChain network.
2. Open a PulseChain block explorer and find the token’s contract address on PulseChain.
3. In MetaMask, go to the Assets tab and select "Import tokens".
4. Paste the token contract address into the Token Contract Address field; MetaMask should auto-fill token symbol and decimals if known.
5. Verify the contract address matches the verified contract address shown on the explorer or official project page.
6. Click Add/Import Token.

Security warning: Many fake tokens exist. Always verify token contract addresses from reputable sources such as the project’s official documentation or a verified block explorer. Do not rely on token names alone.

MetaMask extension vs MetaMask mobile — differences to note

• Networks added on the MetaMask browser extension do not automatically appear on your MetaMask mobile app. Add PulseChain separately on each device you use.
• When restoring a MetaMask wallet using the Secret Recovery Phrase, the custom networks you used previously are not restored automatically. You must re-add any custom networks (including PulseChain) manually.
• UI differences: the path to add networks can differ slightly between extension and mobile, but the required network fields are the same.

Troubleshooting common issues

Below are common problems users encounter when connecting to PulseChain in MetaMask and practical fixes.

• "Invalid or unsupported Chain ID" or wrong Chain ID errors

  • Ensure Chain ID is set to
    369
    (decimal). If a saved network uses a different Chain ID, MetaMask will not connect properly.

• "Internal JSON‑RPC error" or RPC errors

  • Try switching to a different RPC endpoint if you have one available. RPC endpoints can be temporarily overloaded or down.
  • Confirm the RPC URL is correctly typed and includes the protocol (https://).

• Pending or stuck transactions

  • Check the PulseChain block explorer for transaction status. If a transaction is stuck, you may be able to speed it up or cancel by increasing gas and resubmitting from MetaMask.
  • If MetaMask shows pending transactions that are not on-chain, consider clearing the transaction history or restarting the app, but do not attempt risky actions that require the secret phrase.

• Explorer not loading or wrong block data

  • Confirm the block explorer URL is correct and that the explorer supports the current mainnet.
  • Try another verified explorer if available.

• Cannot add network from Chain registry

  • Confirm you approved the correct MetaMask account when prompted. Rejecting the connect prompt will prevent adding the network.

If problems persist, consult official PulseChain help resources and MetaMask support documentation for network-specific troubleshooting steps.

Security and verification best practices

1. Verify RPC URLs and Chain ID from official PulseChain documentation before adding them to MetaMask.
2. Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase. No legitimate site or dApp will ask for it.
3. When connecting MetaMask to dApps on PulseChain, confirm the dApp origin and the exact permission being requested.
4. Use read-only or public RPCs for view-only tasks if available.
5. Consider using a dedicated wallet or account for experimental dApp interactions and keep larger balances in more secure, segregated storage.
6. Be cautious with token approvals: token approval transactions can allow contracts to move tokens on your behalf. Use the minimum allowance necessary and revoke allowances for unused approvals using trusted tools.
7. Prefer official block explorers and documentation when verifying token contracts and transaction details.

Bitget note: If you use a custodial exchange or service, prefer using Bitget and Bitget Wallet for integrated features and official support. When interacting with on-chain dApps, Bitget Wallet provides a trusted wallet option in the Bitget ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q: Is PulseChain compatible with Ethereum dApps? A: Yes. PulseChain is EVM-compatible, so many Ethereum dApps can be ported or interact with PulseChain if the dApp deploys a PulseChain-compatible contract. When interacting, ensure the dApp has been deployed to PulseChain and you are using the PulseChain network in MetaMask.

Q: Will adding a network put my funds at risk? A: Adding a network alone does not expose your private keys. However, connecting dApps on that network and approving transactions can put funds at risk. Only interact with trusted dApps and verify transaction details before approving.

Q: How do I remove the network from MetaMask? A: In MetaMask, open Settings → Networks, select PulseChain, and choose the remove/delete option. The exact path may vary between extension and mobile.

Q: My token balance does not show after adding PulseChain. Why? A: You may need to import the token contract address manually in MetaMask after switching to PulseChain. Verify the token contract on a PulseChain block explorer and add it in MetaMask’s Assets → Import Token flow.

Q: Does MetaMask automatically switch networks when I open a dApp? A: Some dApps can request a network switch and MetaMask will show a prompt to switch. You must approve this prompt. This does not happen silently; it requires user consent.
