HEX / PulseChain / Richard Heart
HEX on Ethereum and PulseChain, Richard Heart, ProveX and Incentive Token. Explore the evidence and follow practical guides to the ecosystem.
The research question
A shared founder connects this ecosystem. That does not make its assets interchangeable. The useful test is whether each product creates durable demand — and whether the evidence supports the story being told.
The person / The film / Your perspective
Meet the personality behind the projects. Start with the documentary, then follow the sources and form your own view.
Documentary / Richard Heart & HEX
The 2023 documentary follows Richard Heart and the world around HEX, bringing supporters and critics into the story. It offers a way into the people and the debate.
A film captures a perspective in time. Pair it with the project mechanics and the later court documents below.
THE PULSECHAIN ECOSYSTEM / CHART DIRECTORY
Five selected pools, clearly labelled. These are the same chart destinations used in the price bar above.
PulseChain HEX. Separate from eHEX on Ethereum.
The PRVX token. Distinct from using the ProveX app.
The incentive token. Buying does not require farming.
The PulseX token. Different from PLS used for gas.
The chart uses wrapped PLS. Network fees use native PLS.
Charts open on DEX Screener in a new tab. Each pool has its own liquidity and pricing; a chart is not an endorsement. For Ethereum HEX, use the separate eHEX chart ↗. Buying-guide contract addresses identify tokens, not the pool addresses in these chart links.
Understand the map
HEX’s time commitments can produce additional HEX, with penalties for ending early or late. More tokens do not guarantee a positive return in dollars. Token price, transaction costs and the applicable contract rules affect the outcome.
HEX — How it works ↗Legal evidence / U.S. civil action
Case 1:23-cv-05749, Eastern District of New York. The sequence matters.
The SEC alleges unregistered offerings and fraud involving Heart and the projects. These were allegations, not findings of liability.
SEC — Complaint announcement, 31 July 2023 ↗The order addresses insufficient grounds for personal jurisdiction and, independently, the complaint’s failure to adequately plead the domestic transactions or conduct required for the U.S. securities-law claims. The court allows an opportunity to amend.
Court order, 28 February 2025 — reproduced by Midpage ↗In a filed letter, the SEC informs the court that it does not intend to submit an amended complaint.
SEC letter filed 21 April 2025 — court-document PDF mirror ↗Calling the dismissal a significant litigation win is reasonable. Calling it a trial verdict clearing every allegation, SEC approval of the tokens, or proof of investment safety would go beyond these documents.
Scope: the linked U.S. complaint, dismissal order and SEC letter. This is not a comprehensive current docket search or a statement about every proceeding in every jurisdiction.
Editorial analysis / hypotheses to test
What could make the case stronger
What needs a harder look
The next research pass
Record the chain, pool, quote asset, date and trade size. Compare slippage rather than combining incompatible HEX quotes.
Study recurring usage, fee activity and application retention. Distinguish trading churn from useful activity.
Track dated technical releases and new court filings. Revise the thesis when new evidence contradicts it.
CIX learning route / PulseChain essentials
Begin with the basics, then choose what you want to explore. Our summaries and project guides sit alongside the original PulseChainStats video tutorials.
Wallet
Install from MetaMask’s official download route. Choose your recovery method deliberately; never enter a recovery phrase into a guide or a support chat.
Watch original video Current MetaMask instructions →Video: PulseChainStatsNetwork
Check the network details against PulseChain’s own site. Adding a network or a token display does not deposit any funds into your wallet.
Watch original video CIX network & gas checklist →Video: PulseChainStatsFunding
Check the source chain, destination, token and fees before signing. Keep gas available on both sides; a bridged token is not automatically native PLS.
Watch original video Compare funding routes →Video: PulseChainStatsSwap
Verify the token contract, the amount you receive and the wallet permission. Leave enough PLS for fees and inspect the completed transaction.
Watch original video Choose a token guide →Video: PulseChainStatsExplore
Use a public explorer to check a transaction’s status, sender, recipient and token contract. A matching logo alone does not establish a token’s identity.
Watch original video Open the PulseChain explorer →Video: PulseChainStatsAdvanced / optional
Learn how a pool holds two assets and earns fees. Compare the result with simply holding the assets; changing prices can leave a liquidity position worth less.
Watch original video Read the protocol overview →Video: PulseChainStatsAdvanced / optional
Learn what depositing LP tokens does and where rewards come from. Check the specific pool, permissions and exit process; reward-token prices and rates can change.

The practical side / free guides
Four original CIX walkthroughs cover PLS, pHEX, ProveX (PRVX) and Incentive Token (INC). Start with your network and wallet, then choose the asset you want to understand. Read for free, without an account.
This walkthrough
PulseChain network · native PLS for transaction fees. The steps below cover HEX on PulseChain.
A separate asset
Ethereum network · native ETH for transaction fees. This is not the asset bought through the PulseChain route below. A matching ticker or contract address alone does not identify the network.
Guide 01 / PulseChain
PLS is the native asset used to pay PulseChain transaction fees. Adding the network to a wallet does not fund the wallet.
Download MetaMask from its official website ↗ or choose another PulseChain-compatible wallet. Set up recovery using the wallet’s own instructions. Never enter recovery words into CIX, a swap website, a form or a support chat. Read MetaMask’s security guide ↗
Use the wallet setup on PulseChain.com ↗ or enter the current network details in your wallet. Compare them with the official site before saving.
https://rpc.pulsechain.comThe project website currently lists bank/payment routes including ProveX and 0xCoast, and crypto routes including LibertySwap and the PulseChain Bridge. Start from the official directory ↗. Providers differ in availability, identity checks, custody, fees and execution. A listing is not a guarantee.
Confirm the receiving wallet address, destination network, asset you will receive, total cost and minimum amount with the chosen provider. A bridge may deliver a bridged token rather than native PLS. Resolve how you will obtain destination gas before using that route; do not assume a wallet with zero PLS can perform a swap.
Start with a small amount you can afford to lose. Check the transaction and receiving address in the PulseChain explorer, then confirm the wallet is on PulseChain. Keep the transaction reference. Only continue once native PLS is available for fees.
Network and directory checked 25 September 2026. No provider account, payment or bridge transaction was executed for this guide. Routes and availability can change.
Guide 02 / HEX on PulseChain
Begin with PLS in your own PulseChain wallet. This walkthrough explains a swap, not a reason to invest or a promise of returns.
Go to app.PulseX.com ↗. At review, it offers “Launch PulseX” and IPFS/desktop options. Use the current launch link there instead of a sponsored search result or a link sent by direct message. On mobile, use your wallet’s supported dapp browser or connection flow.
Choose PulseChain in your wallet. In the swap interface select PLS as the input and HEX as the output. Compare the HEX contract with the official project sources, not just the symbol. The address below identifies HEX only together with the selected chain.
0x2b591e99afE9f32eAA6214f7B7629768c40Eeb39Compare with HEX.com and PulseChain.com. A contract address is not a receiving address for a manual payment.
Enter an amount while retaining PLS for gas. Check the estimated tokens received, price impact, slippage tolerance, minimum received and transaction fee. Do not raise slippage repeatedly to force a trade through. If the quote is unclear or liquidity is thin, stop and reassess.
Confirm that the account, network and requested action match the swap you chose. If a token spending approval is requested, review its recipient and allowance; it is a separate permission. A recovery phrase is never part of approving a swap. Wallet permissions explained ↗
After confirmation, inspect the transaction in the explorer and your HEX balance on PulseChain. If the wallet does not display the token, use the verified contract to add its display entry. Buying HEX does not require a separate mining or time-commitment transaction; those mechanisms have their own rules and penalties. Read the HEX mechanism first ↗
Original CIX explanation and illustrations. Interface wording may change. No live swap was performed for this guide. Also requested by our editor: HowToPulse’s external HEX guide ↗ — a third-party resource; its current article could not be independently checked during this review.
Guide 03 / ProveX token
ProveX is a protocol and PRVX is its token. Using the ProveX app to obtain crypto and buying PRVX are different actions. This guide covers the token on PulseChain.
If you are new, follow the PLS setup guide first. Keep native PLS for transaction fees even when your swap input is another token.
Open ProveX.com ↗ and find “Buy $PRVX on PulseX”. The separate “Launch App” link opens the ProveX application. Check the destination before connecting your wallet.
Confirm PulseChain and the output contract below. The project’s buying link may preselect an input token: use an asset you actually hold on PulseChain, then obtain a fresh quote. A dollar ticker does not make different token versions interchangeable.
0xF6f8Db0aBa00007681F8fAF16A0FDa1c9B030b11Compare with the project source ↗. This identifies the token; do not send funds directly to its contract.
Check the output amount, minimum received, price impact and fees. Read any spending approval separately and limit its allowance where appropriate. If no usable route appears, stop; do not force the swap by repeatedly increasing slippage.
Sign only the transaction you intended. After confirmation, verify its result in the PulseChain explorer and the PRVX balance at your wallet address. For a bank-payment alternative, the Coast video below explains its own service; check current country availability, fees and account requirements there.
Address checked against ProveX.com and PulseChain.com on 25 September 2026. No purchase was executed for this guide.
Guide 04 / Incentive token
INC is the PulseX incentive token on PulseChain. It is different from PLS and PLSX. Buying INC through a swap does not require providing liquidity or entering a farm.
Use your PulseChain wallet with native PLS available for fees. The PLS guide covers setup and funding; do not use the Ethereum network for this route.
Start at app.PulseX.com ↗ and follow its current launch option. Choose the swap view. Farming and liquidity screens perform different actions and are not needed for this purchase.
Choose your input asset and INC as the output. Match the complete contract with PulseX.com ↗. Do not identify the token by its name or green icon alone.
0x2fa878Ab3F87CC1C9737Fc071108F904c0B0C95dCompare with the project source ↗. This identifies the token; do not send funds directly to its contract.
Retain some PLS for gas. Check price impact, slippage, minimum received and the network fee. Review any token allowance separately. If the route or amount is unexpected, cancel before signing.
Check the confirmed transaction and received token address in the explorer. If the token is not shown in your wallet, add its display entry using the verified contract. Holding INC alone does not place your assets into a farm or guarantee rewards.
Token role and address: PulseX project documentation ↗ and PulseChain directory ↗. Checked 25 September 2026. No swap was executed for this guide.

ProveX / PRVX
Separate using the ProveX app from purchasing PRVX. The project links its token-buying route to PulseX.
Read the PRVX guide →Incentive / INC
PulseX describes INC as an incentive for liquidity providers. A simple token purchase is a different action from farming.
Read the INC guide →These links lead to project resources. They are not a “buy now” recommendation or a guarantee that any interface or asset is safe.
Never provide a seed phrase to a website or a community member. Check the network and contract using the project’s documentation before signing a transaction.
Beyond the chart / Culture & collectibles
The Enigma / Often called the HEX diamond
The Enigma is a 555.55-carat black diamond offered at Sotheby’s in February 2022. It also appears in the Richard Heart community’s visual story as the “HEX diamond”.
Explore the stone through the auction house’s own video and catalogue. Its cultural connection does not mean HEX tokens represent ownership of the diamond.
Your questions / Clear starting points
Richard Heart, also known as Richard Schueler, is the founder associated with HEX, PulseChain and PulseX. This page explores those projects, the public story around him and the evidence that helps readers assess each separately.
No. HEX is a token and time-locking protocol. PulseChain is a blockchain with PLS as its native gas asset. PulseX is an exchange protocol with PLSX as its token; INC is its incentive token. Sharing an ecosystem does not make these assets interchangeable.
pHEX refers to HEX on PulseChain; eHEX refers to HEX on Ethereum. They have separate balances, prices and liquidity. Choose the network first, then verify the token contract and the pool. Moving between networks is not simply changing the ticker name.
The court granted dismissal on 28 February 2025. On 21 April 2025, the SEC told the court it would not amend its complaint. Those documents support describing a litigation win in that action.
The dismissal addressed jurisdiction and the pleaded connection to U.S. securities law. It was not a trial verdict resolving every allegation or SEC approval of the tokens. Read the dates and original documents ↑
Watch the official trailer here, then use the distributor’s page for viewing options. Availability and pricing can differ by country. The film was released in 2023; later developments belong in the separate evidence timeline.
The Enigma is a physical collectible featured in the community story. It is not a component of the HEX smart contract. Owning HEX should not be interpreted as owning a share of the stone.
