Part 1: Add PulseChain Network to Trust Wallet
Before you can bridge, you need to add PulseChain as a custom network in Trust Wallet.
Step-by-Step: Adding PulseChain
- Open Trust Wallet on your phone
- Tap the Settings icon (gear) in the bottom right
- Select "Networks" or "Custom Networks"
- Tap the "+" button to add a new network
- Enter the following details:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network Name | PulseChain |
| RPC URL | https://rpc.pulsechain.com |
| Chain ID | 369 |

| Block Explorer URL | https://scan.pulsechain.com |
- Tap "Save" or "Add Network"

⚠️ Double-Check the RPC URL
Make sure you're using the official RPC: https://rpc.pulsechain.com. Scammers sometimes create fake networks to steal funds. Never use a random RPC URL from unknown sources.
Part 2: Prepare for Bridging
Before bridging, ensure you have:
- Tokens on Ethereum: The assets you want to bridge (ETH, USDC, etc.)
- ETH for gas: $5-15 worth of ETH for Ethereum transaction fees
- Trust Wallet updated: Make sure you're on the latest version
Check Your Ethereum Balance
- In Trust Wallet, switch to the Ethereum network
- View your ETH balance for gas fees
- View the tokens you want to bridge

Part 4: Execute the Bridge
Now you're ready to bridge! Here's the step-by-step process:
Step 1: Select Token and Amount
- In the "From" section, select the token you want to bridge (e.g., ETH)
- Enter the amount to bridge
- The interface will show estimated fees and receive amount
Step 2: Approve Token (If Not ETH)
If bridging ERC-20 tokens (USDC, USDT, etc.), you'll need to approve first:
- Tap "Approve [Token]"
- Trust Wallet will pop up with the approval request
- Review the gas fee
- Tap "Confirm" to approve
- Wait for confirmation (1-2 minutes)
Step 3: Bridge Your Tokens
- After approval, tap "Bridge"
- Review the transaction details in the popup
- Check the gas fee is reasonable
- Tap "Confirm" in Trust Wallet
- Wait for the bridge to process (3-5 minutes)

Common Issues & Solutions
"Can't find dApp browser in Trust Wallet"
iOS users: Apple removed in-app browsers. Use Safari + WalletConnect instead. Go to pulse-bridge.com in Safari, click Connect Wallet, select WalletConnect, and scan the QR with Trust Wallet.
"Transaction stuck pending"
If your transaction is pending for more than 10 minutes, the gas price may have been too low. You can try to speed up the transaction in Trust Wallet's pending transactions section, or wait for it to eventually fail/succeed.
"PulseChain network not showing"
Make sure you added the network correctly with Chain ID 369. Double-check the RPC URL is exactly: https://rpc.pulsechain.com
"Bridged tokens not appearing"
Switch to PulseChain network and manually add the token contract address. You can find official token addresses on PulseScan.
"WalletConnect keeps disconnecting"
This is a known issue with mobile wallets. Try refreshing the bridge page and reconnecting. Keep Trust Wallet open in the background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Trust Wallet safe for bridging?
Yes, Trust Wallet is a reputable non-custodial wallet. Your private keys stay on your device. Just make sure to download the official app and verify website URLs before connecting.
Can I bridge back from PulseChain using Trust Wallet?
Absolutely. Switch to PulseChain network in Trust Wallet, connect to the bridge, and select PulseChain → Ethereum.
Do I need PLS for gas on PulseChain?
Yes, PulseChain transactions require PLS for gas. After bridging, you'll need a small amount of PLS. See our guide on getting PLS for gas.
Why is the gas fee so high on mobile?
Gas fees depend on Ethereum network congestion, not your wallet. Check gas prices at etherscan.io/gastracker and bridge when fees are lower (weekends, late night UTC).

Yes, you can import the same seed phrase into multiple wallets to access your funds on different devices. Both will show the same addresses and balances.
