Where to use PulseChain, HEX and PulseX tokens

Short answer

Each listed token can be used through its issuer’s app — for PulseChain, PulseX, HEX and the bridge also through an official IPFS mirror and self-host build — through the explorer’s Write tab for verified contracts, and through third-party apps that official pages list. All were opened on 2026-10-19 without a wallet. Official apps come first, third-party ones carry a risk line, and seven domains that official pages still name no longer serve what they were listed for.

Contracts can be used through more than one front-end. The official app is the first choice; its IPFS mirror and self-host build are the same app delivered another way; the explorer’s Write contract tab works for every verified contract. Third-party apps that official pages list are shown with what they call and what can go wrong. The same lists appear on every token page under “Where to use it”.

Before you connect a wallet anywhere, compare the domain with the official links and read the security guide.

Listed somewhere official, but do not use

These domains still appear on an official or project page, but no longer serve what they were listed for. They are named here as text only — do not type them into your browser to “check”.

  • www.dex.toys — listed by app.pulsex.com's list of community front-ends. The domain lapsed and redirects to a domain-sale page (re-registered on 2026-09-19). Whoever owns it now controls where that official list points. Checked 2026-10-19.
  • hexcrypto.com — listed by go.hex.com's list of community front-ends. The app no longer starts, and its staking page serves gambling spam. Checked 2026-10-19.
  • hex.toys — listed by hex.com/links. An unrelated AI-consultancy site. Checked 2026-10-19.
  • hexsafe.win — listed by hex.com/links. Redirects to a commercial seed-phrase security consultancy. Checked 2026-10-19.
  • ethhex.com (and its IPFS copy) — listed by the official pulsechaincom GitLab group, as its ethhex-uniswap-server build. Its own page now says it is deprecated and not maintained; an IPFS copy still loads. Trade HEX(eth) elsewhere. Checked 2026-10-19.
  • uniswap.hedron.pro — listed by hedron.pro and ethhex.com's list of community front-ends. No longer exists. Checked 2026-10-19.
  • late-lame-bar.anvil.app — listed by the README of the Maximus contract repository. An obsolete developer test app whose “MAXI” is a different token (W), on a retired testnet. Checked 2026-10-19.

What if an app is down?

  1. Use the official mirror. go.hex.com, app.pulsex.com, the bridge, the validator launchpad and PulseScan each have an IPFS mirror on a subdomain of their own domain (for example ipfs.go.hex.com) and a self-host build on GitLab that runs the same version on your own computer. Bookmark them now, not when you need them.
  2. Use the explorer. On PulseScan, open the contract by its address from this site, choose Write contract (or Write proxy) and connect your wallet. This is also the only way to call some functions — the Maximus Mystery Box and escrow, MAXI’s own stake end, or the Hedron/Icosa liquidation auctions.
  3. Check before you sign. Decimals differ — HEX and the Maximus tokens use 8, HDRN and ICSA 9, eUSDC and eUSDT 6, most others 18 — so read the token’s decimals() first; a call cannot be undone. Approve only the amount you need — never an unlimited approval to an address you have not checked — and revoke old approvals (how).

How was this list checked?

Every interface was opened on 2026-10-19 without a wallet: nothing was connected, signed or installed. Its page and code were downloaded and searched for contract addresses and function names, and the addresses were compared with the token pages and checked on-chain. “Works” therefore means that the interface loads and contains the code for the function — no transaction was sent. An interface counts as official when the token’s issuer (or, for shared infrastructure, the PulseChain, PulseX or HEX project) runs it and links it from its own site or account. A link from an official page to someone else’s app is a listing, not an endorsement, and those apps are marked as third party. Domains change hands; re-check before you rely on any of this.

Frequently asked questions

Which interface should I use for HEX staking?

The official go.hex.com, or its IPFS mirror or self-host build, which run the same version. Third-party staking apps listed by hex.com call the same contract but are closed-source, unlicensed or unmaintained to different degrees; their risks are listed above.

What if the app I need is down?

Use the official IPFS mirror or self-host build where one exists, or call the contract on PulseScan’s Write tab. Check units and addresses twice — an explorer has no safety net.

Why are some domains on official pages marked “do not use”?

Official link pages and front-end lists are not always updated. On 2026-10-19 seven domains named there had lapsed, been repurposed or stopped working; a lapsed domain is a ready phishing site.
