What are the key facts about PLSX?
The starting supply is the figure stored in the buy-and-burn contract; the difference between it and today’s supply is the burned amount. All values are on-chain readings for the date shown.
What does the PLSX contract contain?
An ERC-20 built from OpenZeppelin parts — permit signatures and burn for holders (PulseX.sol:1-10) — plus vote-delegation functions adapted from YAM / Compound governance code (:23-252). Because of the vote checkpoints, transfer and transferFrom are overridden so that every transfer also updates the vote checkpoints (:54-70); it is therefore not a plain standard ERC-20. The only privileged function is mint, restricted with onlyOwner (:12-15).
Can PLSX still be minted?
No. On 2026-10-17 owner() returns the zero address: ownership was renounced. A function guarded by onlyOwner can only be called by the owner, and no transaction can ever be sent from the zero address, so mint() is permanently unusable — and an owner of zero cannot be changed back. The PLSX supply can therefore only go down.
How does PLSX get burned?
Part of every PulseX trading fee is sent to a buy-and-burn contract, which converts it into PLSX and calls burn. In v2 pools that is 0.07 % of trade volume, in v1 pools the whole fee growth; 14.29 % of the bought PLSX goes to a developer address instead of being burned. Details and the on-chain check: Fees.
The burn total can be checked by anyone: burnedPLSX() on the buy-and-burn contract returns starting supply minus current supply (PLSXBuyAndBurnUpgradeable.sol:90-93).
Where did the initial PLSX supply come from?
From the PulseX sacrifice: participants sent crypto to a published address and, under the project’s terms, could receive a PLSX airdrop if the exchange launched — the project’s own wording describes this as a sacrifice, not a purchase. Court records restate the SEC’s allegation that it ran from 2021-12-29 to 2022-02-26; PLSX was distributed to participants at the May 2023 launch. The PLSX contract code itself does not show how the supply was distributed — that is recorded in the sacrifice data, not in the token. History: PulseChain history.
How is PLSX verified on the explorer?
PulseScan marks the PLSX source as a partial Sourcify match: the compiled code matches the deployed bytecode, but the metadata hash (which also covers comments and file names) does not. The executable logic is the published source.
What should I check before buying “PLSX”?
The address. Tokens with the same name and ticker exist; only 0x95B303987A60C71504D99Aa1b13B4DA07b0790ab on PulseChain is PLSX, as listed on pulsex.com/links. Token card: PLSX.
