PulseChain Native Bridge
Each network is an island on its own until it gets connected to other chains, especially Ethereum or Bitcoin. PulseChain is no different, and the Native Bridge is here to facilitate transfers of assets like WPLS from Ethereum to PLS on PulseChain and stablecoins like USDC or DAI, HEX, ETH, and WBTC.
Its track record speaks volumes, boasting a cumulative deposit tally of 712 million and a total of 572 million in successful withdrawals.
With a robust throughput, the PulseChain bridge serves as a gateway for a flourishing network, well-poised to accommodate the burgeoning influx of deposits, especially with the proliferation of new NFT marketplaces on PulseChain.
Precautions before using the bridge
There are daily limits set for each of the assets that can be bridged, as well as a minimum amount per transaction. For example, bridging WETH from PulseChain to Ethereum has:
Daily limit: 221.286 / 1,000,000,000,000.0 WETH
Max per Tx 500,000,000,000.0 WETH
Min per Tx 0.018 WETH
Whereas bridging ETH from Ethereum to PulseChain has:
Daily Limit: 85.7934 / 1,000,000,000,000.0 ETH
Max per Tx 500,000,000,000.0 ETH
Min per Tx 0.018 ETH
Moreover, users are subject to a nominal bridge fee of 0.3%, and the estimated completion time is approximately 30 minutes, typically resolving even faster. It’s crucial to ensure the presence of a pool on the recipient side before initiating any asset transfer. The absence of a pool would impede the swapping of tokens, a factor not visually indicated in the bridge’s user interface. Therefore, for a seamless experience, it’s advisable to limit asset bridging to PLS, WETH, USDC, DAI, or HEX, until pool availability is displayed. Platforms like Dexscreener.com provide insights into pool availability for various tokens.
