About the PulseChain Airdrop
The PulseChain airdrop is recognized as the largest cryptocurrency airdrop in history, initiated by Richard Heart. On May 13, 2023, PulseChain forked from Ethereum at block 17,233,000, replicating all wallet balances, smart contracts, and tokens onto the new PulseChain network.
Eligibility and Token Allocation
If you held Ethereum tokens in a non-custodial wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Ledger, or Trezor) before May 10, 2023, you automatically received equivalent PRC-20 tokens on PulseChain, including:
- PLS: Native PulseChain token (copied from ETH)
- HEX: Richard Heart's flagship cryptocurrency
- PLSX: PulseX decentralized exchange token
- INC: Incentive token for early adopters
- Thousands of PRC-20 tokens: Copies of popular ERC-20 tokens
👉 Check your airdrop balance instantly using our non-custodial tool—no wallet connection required.
Key Note: Centralized exchange users (e.g., Coinbase, Binance) did not qualify for the airdrop. Only non-custodial wallet holders were eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is PulseChain?
PulseChain is a Layer 1 blockchain fork of Ethereum, replicating its entire state—including smart contracts, tokens, and NFTs—while introducing faster transactions and lower fees.
2. How Does the Airdrop Work?
The fork copied all Ethereum assets (ETH, ERC-20s, NFTs) to PulseChain as PRC-20 tokens, distributed freely to non-custodial wallet holders.
3. Can Exchange Users Claim the Airdrop?
No. Centralized exchanges control private keys, making users ineligible unless the exchange opts to distribute the tokens.
4. How Do PRC-20 Tokens Differ from ERC-20?
PRC-20 tokens function identically but reside on PulseChain. Forked tokens (e.g., pHEX, pLINK) are prefixed with "p" to denote their origin.
5. Where Can I Trade My PRC-20 Tokens?
PulseX is the primary DEX for swapping PRC-20 tokens. Note that copied stablecoins (e.g., pUSDT) lack original issuer backing.
6. Why Do Token Prices Vary Between Chains?
Market dynamics differ due to liquidity, adoption, and chain-specific demand. Compare values using our PRC-20 vs. ERC-20 tracker.

- Secure Your Wallet: Never share private keys to "claim" airdrops—scams are rampant.
