Step 2: Set Up a Wallet

Before buying PLSX, you’ll need a secure wallet to store your crypto. A compatible wallet is essential for using DEXs.

• Recommended Wallets: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any wallet compatible with the PulseChain network.
• How to Set Up MetaMask:
1. Download the MetaMask extension for your browser or install the app on your phone.
2. Create a new wallet and securely store your seed phrase (never share this with anyone).
3. Switch to the PulseChain network by adding the custom network details in MetaMask.

Step 3: Fund Your Wallet

To buy PLSX, you’ll need to fund your wallet with a cryptocurrency like Ethereum (ETH) or Pulse (PLS) that can be swapped for PLSX.

• Steps to Fund:
1. Purchase ETH or PLS on a centralized exchange like Binance or Coinbase.
2. Transfer your ETH or PLS to your MetaMask wallet address.

• On PulseX:
1. Visit the PulseX DEX website.
2. Click on “Connect Wallet” and choose your wallet provider (e.g., MetaMask).
3. Ensure you’re on the correct PulseChain network in your wallet settings.
• Security Tip: Always verify the DEX website URL to avoid phishing scams.

Step 5: Swap for PLSX

Now that your wallet is connected, you can trade your ETH or PLS for PLSX.

• Steps to Swap:
1. Select the token you want to swap (e.g., ETH) in the “From” field.
2. Select PLSX in the “To” field.
3. Enter the amount you want to swap and click “Swap.”
4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet and pay the network fee (usually in PLS).
• Tip: Use small amounts first to familiarize yourself with the process.

Step 6: Store PLSX Securely

Once you’ve purchased PLSX, make sure it’s stored securely in your wallet.

• Verify the Token: If PLSX doesn’t show up in your wallet, add it manually by entering the contract address.
