Bridging lets you move assets from another blockchain — most commonly Ethereum — onto PulseChain. This guide explains how bridging works and how to do it safely.
What is a blockchain bridge?
A bridge is a tool that locks or burns a token on one chain and releases an equivalent token on another. Because PulseChain is a separate network from Ethereum, you need a bridge to move value between the two.
What you need first
- An EVM wallet such as MetaMask.
- Some ETH for Ethereum gas, plus a small amount of PLS for PulseChain gas.
- The PulseChain network added to your wallet — get the official RPC details from scan.pulsechain.com.
Step-by-step
- Open the official bridge. Go directly to bridge.pulsechain.com — never reach a bridge through a search-engine result or ad.
- Connect your wallet while on the Ethereum network.
- Choose the token and amount you want to move across.
- Approve, then confirm. You first sign an approval transaction, then the bridge transaction itself.
- Wait around 10–20 minutes. Once confirmed, your assets appear on PulseChain.
Getting pDAI
If your goal is pDAI specifically, you can either bridge assets across and then swap for pDAI on a PulseChain exchange, or use a cross-chain swap tool that delivers pDAI directly. Our Get pDAI page lays out both routes.
Bridge safely
Fake bridge websites are one of the most common crypto scams. Always type the bridge URL yourself or use a bookmark, double-check the address bar, and never enter your seed phrase anywhere. Our Stay Safe page lists every verified official link.
