HEX (HEX)

What the contract can do

Verified, with no owner, admin, pause, blacklist, upgrade or self-destruct. The supply changes only by the rules in the code: daily inflation of 3.69 % per 364 days, paid to stakers, and penalties for ending stakes early or late.

The runtime bytecode on PulseChain is identical to Ethereum’s (same SHA-256 hash). How staking works is explained in HEX staking.

Who controls it

Nobody. Every rule is fixed in the code at deployment and cannot be changed. The Origin Address receives amounts defined in the code — for example half of every stake penalty — but has no special powers; see the Origin Address.

History

Created on Ethereum on 3 Dec 2019 at 01:50:28 UTC; HEX day 0 is 3 Dec 2019 00:00 UTC, which is still 2 December in US time zones. PulseChain copied the whole Ethereum state at its fork, so HEX on PulseChain started in May 2023 with every balance and stake that existed on Ethereum at that moment, and has been a separate ledger since.

Audits: CoinFabrik economics audit (October 2019) and security audit (December 2019, no critical or medium findings) — see HEX audits.

HEX(eth) moved to PulseChain over the official bridge is a different token again, at 0x57fde0a71132198BBeC939B98976993d8D89D225.

Liquidity on 2026-10-19: about $935,000 on PulseX (HEX/WPLS v2 about $315,000, v1 about $251,000). About 381,000 holders on PulseChain.

Risks

HEX and HEX(eth) are different assets with different prices, and a stake exists only on the chain where it was made — see HEX vs. HEX(eth). Ending a stake early, or more than 14 days late, costs a penalty set in the code.

Verdict

Passes all six trust criteria.

Where to use it

Interfaces that call these contracts, checked on 2026-10-19 — official ones first. A listing is not an endorsement: open apps from a bookmark, check the domain before you connect a wallet and read the risk line. Domains to avoid and what to do when an app is down: Interfaces.

• go.hex.com go.hex.com OfficialPulseChainEthereum

  Start and end HEX stakes, good accounting of finished stakes, exits from old lobby entries.

  The same version also runs as an IPFS mirror and a self-host build.

  Risk: The build contains a regional “unavailable” page. The IPFS mirror and the self-host build are the official alternative deliveries of the same version.

• PulseX app app.pulsex.com Official PulseX appPulseChain

  Swaps, PLS ↔ WPLS wrapping, liquidity on PulseX v1, v2 and the eDAI/eUSDC/eUSDT stable pool, INC farms (deposit, withdraw, harvest, emergency withdraw) and the buy-and-burn page.

  The same version also runs as an IPFS mirror and a self-host build.

  Risk: Copycat PLSX and INC tokens exist — add tokens to your wallet by address only. The burn page’s conversion can be triggered only by whitelisted callers.

• Official PulseChain bridge bridge.pulsechain.com Official PulseChain appPulseChainEthereum

  Moves tokens between Ethereum and PulseChain, including the claim step on Ethereum. Its contracts are the only ones that mint and redeem eDAI, eUSDC, eUSDT, eWETH and eWBTC.

  The same version also runs as an IPFS mirror and a self-host build.

  Risk: 0.30 % fee from PulseChain to Ethereum; admin keys and validators are explained on the bridge page. HEX(eth) bridged to PulseChain becomes a different token, “HEX from Ethereum”.

• PulseScan — Read and Write contract scan.pulsechain.com Official PulseChain appPulseChain

  Read contract, Write contract and Write proxy for every verified contract once you connect a wallet. It is the fallback when an app is down, and the only interface for some functions: the Maximus Mystery Box and escrow, MAXI’s own stake end, and the Hedron/Icosa liquidation auctions.

  The same version also runs as an IPFS mirror and a self-host build.

  Risk: Raw calls with no safety net: wrong units or a mistyped address cannot be undone. There is no Write tab for unverified contracts — eWBTC, “HEX from Ethereum”, the four Diamond Hands reward-distribution contracts and the ProveX escrow (verified on Sourcify only).

• hedron.pro hedron.pro Official Hedron/Icosa appPulseChainEthereum

  Create and end HEX stakes as HSIs (HEX Stake Instances) and turn them into NFTs, mint and claim HDRN, take and repay HDRN loans against HSIs.

  Risk: Unmaintained since November 2022: the liquidation-auction list depends on a retired data service, the built-in Uniswap page no longer exists, and only browser wallets connect. It offers unlimited HEX approvals.

• Icosa × Hedron app app.icosa.pro Official Hedron/Icosa appPulseChainEthereum

  HEX staking (optionally as an HSI), HDRN minting, HDRN and ICSA staking, selling HSIs to Icosa and redeeming WAATSA NFTs.

  Risk: The auctions page is effectively broken because its data source is down. It offers unlimited approvals and approval of all your NFTs to the ICSA contract — prefer approvals per transaction.

• Etherscan — HEX(eth) Write contract etherscan.io Third partyEthereum

  Every HEX(eth) function on Ethereum, called directly.

  Open-source alternative: Ethereum Blockscout. The Maximus and Hedron/Icosa token contracts are verified on Etherscan too (the Diamond Hands reward-distribution contracts are not).

  Risk: Amounts are in hearts (8 decimals); raw calls cannot be undone.

• BackupHEX backuphex.com Third partyPulseChainEthereum

  Start and end HEX stakes and good accounting.

  Risk: Closed source, delivered in a deliberately unreadable form. No fee wrapper or proxy was found. Its PulseChain HEX price comes from the wrong (bridged) pair — a display error, not a funds risk.

• appHEX apphex.win Third partyPulseChainEthereum

  HEX stakes and transfers, HDRN minting, INC farm deposits and swaps through the PulseX contracts.

  Risk: Closed source. Optional tips to the developer; a fee hook in the code is inactive today but could be switched on in a later release. It promotes the developer’s own wallet extension, which was not reviewed.

• Uniswap, CoW Swap and 1inch (Ethereum) app.uniswap.org Third partyEthereum

  CoW Swap, 1inch.

  Risk: Ethereum only and not HEX-specific: check the HEX(eth) contract address before you trade.

• Piteas app.piteas.io Third partyPulseChain

  DEX aggregator: routes swaps through PulseX and other exchanges via its own router.

  Risk: The executor contract is not verified; the router’s owner — a single key — can pause it and change the executor. The fee is built into the quote (about 0.12 % on average, per its docs). Router audited by SolidProof (2023).

• Gibs Finance gibs.finance Third partyPulseChainEthereum

  Ethereum ↔ PulseChain transfers through the official bridge contracts plus its own helper routers, which can pay an optional delivery fee to whoever completes the claim. Its BNB Chain route uses the Tokens Express bridge.

  Risk: The helper routers are owned by a single key, which can rescue stuck tokens and set a validator filter. The interface source is private (releases are signed and served from IPFS). The BNB Chain route carries the Tokens Express risks below. HEX(eth) bridged to PulseChain arrives as “HEX from Ethereum”, a different token.

• Tokens Express tokensex.link Third partyPulseChainEthereum

  Ethereum route: the official bridge contracts. BNB Chain route: a separate bridge.

  Risk: BNB Chain route: a separate bridge whose PulseChain contracts and fee manager are owned — and can be upgraded — by one key, with a 2.97 % fee in each direction (read on-chain 2026-10-19). Tokens bridged from BNB Chain are not the e-tokens, and HEX(eth) bridged to PulseChain arrives as “HEX from Ethereum”. Closed source, delivered in a deliberately unreadable form.

• Coast app (0xCoast) app.0xcoast.com Third partyPulseChainEthereum

  Account-based app: buying and selling, HEX staking, HDRN minting and its own CST stablecoin.

  Risk: Needs an account; its terms describe renting software and private keys, and selling sends your tokens to an address the operator controls (custodial). Closed source.
