Who do you know who wants to build an app on PulseChain (PLS)?
If you intro them to us, we'll hook them up 🤝
Unpopular Opinion:
The
@RichardHeartWin
ecosystem is the most passionate, engaged, helpful & welcoming community in all of crypto, hands down.
The 3 main coins/tokens to track the progress are:
- PulseChain $PLS
- PulseX $PLSX
- HEX $HEX
An obvious trend happening in crypto that I don't think is getting enough attention:
The inherent tribalism of the majors is leading to a close-mindedness, which in turn begins to slow innovation and adoption.
This is partly what makes me so bullish on

There's a reason that my dev team is currently working on building ~3 dApps on
#Pulsechain
.
The reason in a word...
Traction.
PulseChain is only 62 days old and it's showing more promise than almost all of the other L1's.
Here's what were looking at 👇to prove it.
Everyone wants
@RichardHeartWin
to return to live streaming
Mostly to pump their bags of $HEX, $PLS, $PLSX.
That's nice too, but...
I'm genuinely looking forward to it b/c of the quality of his insights & intellectual rigor applied to the industry.
Nothing else compares atm.
#PulseChain
is the best blockchain to build your dApp on in 2023.
Deciding which L1 to build on is a critical decision for all web3 founders.
There are many different factors that go into making this decision.
Here’s a list of the criteria we use to help our clients decide. 🧵
My brother & I run a boutique Web3 development studio.
Since 2017, we’ve analyzed hundreds of blockchain projects - many became wildly successful.
There’s a new project launching soon that's more exciting than any seen before...
It’s called PulseChain (PLS)
Thread 🧵(~4 mins)
I no longer have a clue what's happening in the
#PulseChain
ecosystem.
I used to know every single project, team & influencer involved.
And that's why I'm so bullish.
For a chain to be successful, it must become a virus that grows & spreads itself.
That's 100% happening now.
🚨 A quick, informal update on
#PulseChain
$PLS Testnet v3 and how things are going so far.
📔 In summary, everything appears to be going as planned (aka freakin' awesome). Projects are launching on it, developers are reviewing the codebase, bugs are being fixed, enhancements
Richard Heart got rich running his own marketing company that did $60M per year with 150 employees.
I find it interesting that just because we haven't heard from him in a while, everyone suddenly thinks he won't unleash a torrent of marketing in the bull market.
Do you see
#PulseChain
& the RH projects dumping while the rest of the market pumps?
Me too. Kind of sucks, doesn't it?
It's not because of fundamentals, technicals or anything like that...
The truth is that holders who were already on the fence are chasing green candles.
Here’s why I believe
#PulseChain
has the best web3 community & positioned to outperform 👇
Community is the
#1
predictor of a crypto project’s success
Everyone talks about the importance of product, market, tech, narratives, etc
But the truth is…
Community drives everything.
I have five simple questions for anyone in the
#PulseChain
community who are currently debating eHEX vs pHEX to consider:
1. Of what benefit is it you or anyone in the RH community to advocate for $HEX to die on Ethereum?
2. How much value do you ascribe to the Lindy Effect
I wrote a mega thread on
#PulseChain
last week.
In the comments/DMs, a few of you asked what my launch strategy (pre/during/post) is going to be.
Here's the rough version of it 👇
- Read all of the latest product & community news everyday to stay up-to-speed on what's
The rumors were... true.
Without Richard Heart here to prop up the community
#PulseChain
is dead.
RIP
This must be what a graveyard in the Metaverse looks like 😈
We're likely in the final stages of the longest bear market in crypto history.
If you made it this far...
Congratulations!
You're an absolute psychopath who probably needs therapy.
Onwards!
Meme coins kicked off on the major alt L1's recently, except one...
#PulseChain
Despite it being lower cost & superior UX for trading memes.
Maybe it's next?
#PulseChain
has the best community in crypto.
Community is what drives innovation & adoption.
We all know intuitively what a community is…
But, do you know the glue that holds a community together?
Culture.
Here’s what Pulsicans can do to build an unstoppable culture 👇
I've figured out another reason why crypto OGs don't like RH (apart from his personality).
They're technophiles who worship new technology.
Since RH is just taking what works & improving it w/ better tokenomics, game theory & community outreach - they see it as beneath them.
I find the investors in the
#PulseChain
ecosystem impressive because they have deep conviction in an unpopular and unconventional idea.
It takes confidence and skill to be able to diverge from the herd in anything, especially crypto, which is riddled with group-think.
What other founders of decentralized crypto projects are going head-to-head with U.S. regulators (like the SEC) on behalf of our industry other than
@RichardHeartWin
?
The Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, Gemini cases were all on behalf of centralized entities, which is not the same.
The crypto bull market is upon us.
Projects with the best tech & most passionate communities will reign supreme this cycle.
#PulseChain
is by far the most exciting L1 on our radar today.
So we've decided to go all in & help founders build this future.
I've recently had a lot of web3 friends message asking:
"Why is HEX going up!?"
"Was there finally some positive news or something?"
"Did something happen between RH & SEC?"
The truth is: the community has grown A LOT through the bear market.
Price is just finally catching up.
If you could share one secret with all of the new investors entering crypto this cycle, what would it be?
Mine would be:
One of the largest holders of BTC & ETH in the world has launched their own project and somehow it's still unknown to almost everyone.

Paul Graham, the famous entrepreneur, author & VC of Y Combinator was once asked in an interview:

His reply went viral & in reflecting on his answer...
I realized that
#PulseChain
was a perfect example.
💡 There are many attributes we look at when evaluating new crypto projects & trying to identify the next big thing.
Some of these include:
- Product
- Market
- Team
- Tokenomics
- Community
- Go-to-Market
- Narrative
- Catalysts
📝 I want to say that this is by no means an exhaustive list of all the upcoming developments run by the PulseChain community.

✅ So, what’s the current status of PulseChain?
Here’s the roadmap (as far as we know):
- Public Testnet V3 - Just launched a few days ago. The entire community is stress testing it, submitting bugs, enhancements and feature requests, getting their project’s codebase ready,
📍 Before I finish, I’d like to share some that the best ways you can prepare for the upcoming launch of PulseChain:
- Educate yourself on everything that’s happening in the ecosystem.
- Play around on testnet v3 so you’re familiar with the technology.
- Join in on the community

We believe PulseChain is the

blockchain for builders.
Peter Thiel has a famous interview question:
What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
My answer would be:
@RichardHeartWin
is the most underrated founder in all of crypto & he has built the
#1
ecosystem to be an investor today despite the recent price action.
@wescottcrypto
The fact that you see so many of our loyal and active community members turning semi-bearish at this stage is a good sign. It means we’ve likely bottomed and we’re in disbelief phase of the bull. It’s all part of the psychology of the investment cycle. Makes me more bullish tbh.
Hey
#PulseChain
,
Bear market blues got you feeling down?
Just look at how many new [X] we add every single day:
- Wallets
- Transactions
- Validators
- dApps
- Liquidity
- $ Volume
- Stakers
- Influencers
- Announcements
And then multiple that number by x7, x30, x365.
Voila!

I'll add a few more useful questions for us to consider:
6. If a HNW investor or institution wants to get into HEX, are they more or less likely to choose the blockchain with more security and a longer history?
7. If the long-term stakers who are the most loyal & supportive to
Okay, so we've got a lot of users and projects coming to PulseChain, but...
How secure and decentralized is it?
Well, let’s check in with the wizards over at
@GoPulsecom
There are already 25,580 validators operating all over the world - none of which are from the founder, RH.
If we check
@dexscreener
we can see that PulseChain is already ranked in the top 10 chains (currently sitting at
#8
) with ~$327M TVL.
This is already ahead of VC-favored chain, Solana, that launched over 3 years ago, plus many of the other popular blockchains.
Next, if we look at their Block Explorer on
@blockscoutcom
, we can see that PulseChain is closing in on nearly 60M wallet holders already, which is insane growth (adding nearly 1M per users per day).
"When in doubt, zoom out" is a popular saying in the TradFi world.
This applies to DeFi as well, specifically if you're an investor in
#PulseChain
.
Prices are down, community is fighting, apps aren't working 100%, yah yah...
On a 10+ year time horizon, these are minor blips.
@yourfriendSOMMI
I think this is a mistake. We 100% need to be growing the community. If we remain the same group of people screaming in an echo chamber, waiting for RH to pump our bags with ETH profits - I'm sorry to say but those exits are going to get narrow very fast & few will get out alive.
Or in layman's terms:
- How many users, devs, projects does it have?
- How many connections are there between them?
- How much financial volume is being transacted?
Despite what any of the CT traders & guru's say...
These are the metrics that matter most.
The value of a crypto network comes from Metcalfe's Law, which states that:
The financial value and/or influence of a network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system.
Okay, so we've got a lot of users coming to PulseChain, which is great, but what can they do?
Let's head over to
@PulseHotList
to see how many dApps and protocols there are...
Currently, there are 109 total projects that are either live or launching very soon!
🤮 Now, this should go without saying, but:
- Opinions expressed are solely my own & should not be considered financial advice.
- Do your own research before making investment decisions.
- I am not responsible for any of your gains/losses.
- I am an investor in some of the

@Rags2RichesFAM
@escapeweb3
Good question.
-Pre-HEX fans of RH, watched every single interview & live stream he's ever done (even the crazy long ones).
- Believer in a similar set of values & principles, which can basically be boiled down to various forms of freedom & meritocracy.
- Impressed by the size
@CryptoDabbler
Well said. It’s the truth. We live in a time when everyone reads headlines and instantly forms an opinion. If people took the time and did the work to understand who is and what he stands for, I think they’d feel differently.
Finally, let's check in on the amount of liquidity and and daily volume of the primary DEX,
@PulseXcom
.
The liquidity is ranging between $250M - $400M, which is solid.
The 24H volume has been ranging from $20M - $50M, which is a tad weak, but in line w/ the market conditions.
The value of a blockchain is dependent upon the quality & quantity of dApps built on top of it.
#PulseChain
has proven it is capable of attracting talented teams who are building insanely valuable projects.
Many of these are still flying below the radar, but one stands out...
The saying goes: “Good artists copy, great artists steal.”
This applies to many things, but it's especially true for open-source crypto projects like
#PulseChain
.
There are so many inspiring things happening in web3 that we can learn from as a community.
I researched Solana ⬇️
Now seeing as PulseChain $PLS is only ~2 months old (vs years for other L1's).
Let's see how the actual numbers look so far:
- TVL (Total Value Locked)
- # of Wallets (i.e. users)
- # of Validators (i.e. miners securing network)
- # of dApps & Protocols
- DEX Volume & Liquidity
@VirtualBacon0x
These centralized protocols pretending to be DeFi aren’t actually interested in doing what’s right.
They prefer to optimize for what looks and sounds good by their peers rather than what’s true.
It’s all ClownFi 🤡
@goldk3y_
@superhexwin
I assumed he was making these decisions to protect himself legally, so he can stay in the game & promote his projects - not exactly optimizing for short-term adoption. I figured we might have to take a step backwards in order to move forward. More front-ends will pop up soon.
That said, you can see that during the initial launch phase back in May, PulseChain was around $300m+ daily volume.
This put them in the top 5 by daily volume, alongside Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Arbitrum!
@Cobratate
You should team up with $HEX founder
@RichardHeartWin
since you both build insanely profitable biz’s, donate millions to charity, help tens of millions and yet you both are still vilified by the mainstream media.
Your crypto founder pursues money, power and fame and only then decides he wants to become a philanthropist.
@RichardHeartWin
has been writing free self-help books for his community and donating his time & money to good causes for 10+ years - far longer than crypto has existed.
@wescottcrypto
@THoSdocumentary
Nice work! Once we get the mention in Worldstar, we should figure out how to leverage the opportunity as a community (i.e. like, share, retweet, get it in front of other influential communities who re-share Worldstar, etc.)
@dude4life4
Thanks for the reply.
- If we take a step back, we can see that we’re a new industry and asset class. Throughout history some of the best assets in other trad markets, as well as crypto, have dropped 98%. There’s nothing unusual about this cycle.

Before I go into all of the reasons you’ll want to consider and why PulseChain, let me quickly explain to any new folks:

Crypto is hilarious for so many reasons.
One of my favorites though is the fact that:
When everything goes on sale...
Everyone runs out of the store angry and crying.
When everything gets marked up...
Everyone runs back into the store euphoric and greedy.
Why crypto is the greatest investing opportunity ever?
It’s money that’s purely software with deterministic outcomes.
- No real estate
- No employees
- No board of directors
- No CAPEX
- No comp plans
- No legal
The code runs 24/7 & does exactly what it was designed to do.

Sorry but you must not have gotten the reference. It’s in “quotes” because it’s words that has been used by prominent influencers in the crypto space - not mine obviously.

@TantoNomini
This is why it's critical that we stay open-minded as a community and pay attention to what the sincere members are sharing. Not all FUD is bad and requires dismissiveness or banning.
Before we begin, let’s define who the “community” is
It’s those who have ownership & active role in the project:
- Developers
- Users
- Investors
- Miners
- Stakers
It’s the self-appointed, self-funded, globally distributed hype machine that operates 24/7.
The true believers.
The founder of PulseChain,
@RichardHeartWin
(aka RH) often says:
“The only thing that matters is price. Whether people are buying & holding or selling it. Everything else is a narrative, meme, story.”
He’s absolutely right.
But don’t take what he’s saying too literally though.
Have you ever played a board game w/ someone much younger than you?
There's a point when you can see several moves ahead & no matter what they do, the game is already over.
I wonder how long it's going to take everyone to realize that Central Banks only move left is to print?
@AlpacaAurelius
I think you were right about seed oils and/or other ingredients being insidiously added for profits over health. I recently started solely grocery shopping and making my own food so I knew every ingredient I was putting in my body and the weight fell off, all else being equal.
- Clearly defined purpose
- Strong leader
- Create a movement
- Authenticity
- Connection w/ each other
- Encourage participation
- Embrace change
- Take risks
- Build a culture
- Long-term focus
- Be generous
I’ll touch on each of these & how the PLS community exemplifies them.
I used to have a problem with meme coins b/c I thought they were dumb.
Almost as if I saw myself as above them - too "sophisticated" to waste my time with silly non-sense.
Until I realized that almost every crypto asset (and many other things in life) are nothing but... memes.
Hey
@bryan_johnson
and
@RichardHeartWin
,
I'm a big fan of you both for different reasons, but you both share a deep desire to solve the longevity problem for humanity, albeit from different angles.
I think both of your communities would benefit from a live stream together.
These are many of reasons why I believe that PulseChain (PLS) & its community is destined for success.
