Originally created by Richard Heart, PulseChain is a robust blockchain that is led by a community of true DeFi champions. Designed to take crypto to new heights, PulseChain launched in 2023 to massive public attention.
The chain began as a full 'system state' hard fork of Ethereum 2.0, allowing developers to easily deploy their existing Ethereum projects on PulseChain.

The Team
PulseChain was created by Richard Heart in response to ongoing limitations that have long prevented other cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, from reaching widespread adoption.
Key developers are listed on the PulseChain GitLab page – but there are many others who have added significant value.
As an open-source protocol with no admin keys, PulseChain has no owner and is entirely led by the community itself.
Today, hundreds of project teams, innovators, and developers have built their own solutions to take the PulseChain ecosystem to new heights.
Governance
PulseChain uses a governance model known as Proof of Stake (PoS), offering robust decentralization while minimizing the chain's environmental impact.
The chain is fully transparent, and proposed updates are implemented through a process of consensus–meaning the community has full control over how the chain continues to develop.
Future upgrades made to Ethereum can also be tailored to suit PulseChain, and implemented once approved by node operators.
The Future
Blockchain technology, and the broader crypto landscape, has transformed into a trillion USD industry in under 15 years.
This unbelievable feat is largely thanks to the fact that crypto allows ordinary people to fight against the control of centralized middlemen, financial tyranny, and censorship.
These threats have long been used to lock people out of key opportunities to build wealth, but chains like PulseChain are leveling the playing field.
PulseChain serves as the blockchain truly designed to work for everyone. Having recently celebrated its successful first year since launch, there is no limit to where PulseChain’s passionate community can take the chain in the near future.
