What Is PLS Gas on PulseChain? Fees Explained
Gas is the network fee paid when you submit many on-chain transactions. It is distinct from the token you may be sending.
Safety first: Never share your wallet recovery phrase, private keys, or passwords with this site or anyone claiming to provide support.
What gas pays for
On EVM-style networks, transaction execution uses computational resources and requires a fee. The chain’s native asset is used to pay that fee. A wallet transaction preview should show the fee estimate.
Why token balances are not enough
A wallet may hold HEX or another token and still be unable to move it if it lacks enough native PLS to pay network gas. It is not the same as an exchange withdrawal fee.
What changes fee costs
Network demand and transaction complexity affect fees. Swaps and contract interactions can require more gas than simple transfers. Never rely on an outdated fee quote.
Avoid fee-related scams
Do not send a seed phrase or private key to anyone promising to add gas for you. Verify addresses, networks and fee information in the wallet and an independent explorer.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pay PulseChain gas using HEX?
Standard transactions generally require the chain’s native gas asset rather than the token being transferred.
