Self-custody matters to us. We value being able to hold assets and interact with contracts through our own wallet, without handing custody to a trading platform.
Understand the wallet →CIX369 · Our conviction in HEX & PulseChain
Richard Heart.
Why we stand
behind him.
We stand behind Richard Heart and remain invested in HEX, PulseChain, PulseX, INC and ProveX. Self-custody, useful products and the community around them are at the heart of our conviction. Here are our reasons, our original posts and the opportunities we’re watching.
OUR CONVICTION. OPEN SOURCES. YOUR OWN VIEW.
01 / Our conviction
Conviction with roots.
A community with purpose.
For us, this is personal: the ideas we value, the people we have met and the work we want to contribute.
Your keys.
Rules you can read.
Commitments you choose.
HEX’s published design centres on an immutable contract. That appeals to us: understand the rules before choosing a commitment. Network, interface and bridge risks still need separate scrutiny.
Read HEX’s project description ↗A community.
A longer horizon.
We are proud to be part of this community. Sharing knowledge, building useful tools and helping each other understand the ecosystem are how we choose to support it. Lasting use and deeper liquidity are what we want to see next.
What we’re watching →“Because we believe in a better, decentralized future.”
About “all-in”.
In the original posts, CIX369 describes a concentrated personal commitment to pHEX and exposure to INC and PLSX. That is his historical positioning, not an instruction for readers to copy it. Read the original words alongside today’s context.

The opportunity
I’m watching.
My strongest conviction is in pHEX, eHEX, ProveX and INC. I see a compelling opportunity in the gap between the ecosystem’s current reach and what simpler access, wider exchange distribution and renewed attention could bring. That is why I remain invested — and why I’m documenting the thesis.
Before access becomes easy.
Using a wallet, choosing a network and finding liquidity creates friction for newcomers. These assets already trade on decentralized exchanges. My opportunity thesis is about wider centralized exchange availability, simpler onboarding and the demand that easier access could unlock.
Understand today’s routes →Several catalysts could align.
A verified legal development, renewed streams and broader exchange distribution could reinforce one another. That is the positive sequence I’m watching. The test is what follows: new users, sustained activity and deeper liquidity, rather than attention alone.
See the catalysts I’m watching →Something people use.
ProveX interests me because its project describes payment proofs, peer-to-peer settlement and token burns linked to use. I want to see that translate into repeat use and integrations. A mechanism becomes a stronger investment thesis when demand shows up.
Read the project’s description ↗My scenario map
What could change the conversation?
A confirmed release, renewed public communication and easier access could reinforce one another. That is a sequence I consider as an investor. Its timing, likelihood and market effect remain uncertain.
- 01Watch: dated official updates
A verified legal development
A confirmed release or another material legal outcome could change sentiment. I would first check the actual decision, then watch how attention and liquidity respond.
- 02Watch: original broadcasts
A return to regular streams
Direct communication could reconnect the community and explain the products to new people. I would look for substantive updates and engagement that lasts beyond the first stream.
- 03Watch: provider announcements
Wider access and distribution
New exchange listings, wallet integrations or simpler funding routes could reduce friction. I would check which asset and network are supported, whether deposits work and how much executable liquidity follows.
Starting point: Anadolu reported the minister’s confirmation on 17 Oct 2026 of detention in Istanbul on 14 Oct. This dated report does not establish a later custody outcome. No release, stream schedule or new listing is confirmed by this scenario map.
The comparisons behind my thinking
Early Bitcoin: an analogy about access
I use early Bitcoin as a way to think about friction: an unfamiliar buying process can keep people away. That does not make every difficult-to-buy asset “the next Bitcoin”. For this thesis to work, easier access needs to meet real demand.
CZ: an example of a founder becoming a market narrative
Reuters reported Changpeng Zhao’s release on 27 September 2024. I study events like this for shifts in attention. It does not establish that a release caused a price rise, or that Richard Heart’s situation would have the same outcome. The legal circumstances, assets and market conditions differ.
What would weaken my case?
Attention that fades, no improvement in access, thin liquidity, weak repeat usage or prolonged uncertainty. I’m interested in a positive sequence, but each step has to earn its place in the thesis. These assets can lose their entire value.
From my earlier sacrifice-phase note
Why ProveX
caught my attention.
My earlier note compared the participation dynamics with PulseChain and PulseX. I was drawn to a different market mood, the exclusion of core ecosystem assets described in that note, and the idea of replacing intermediaries with proofs.
My position at the time
“I’m not saying it will work. I’m saying I personally like the setup.”
In that post, I described sacrificing $250k for PulseChain and $1.1M for PulseX, with ranking central to my approach. For ProveX, I wrote that I was aiming for a top 10–20 position.
These are my historical statements and an intended rank, not an independently verified ranking or a record of realized returns.
A different setup to investigate.
In my interpretation, excluding HEX, PLS, PLSX and INC changes which capital can participate. It raises a useful question: how much comes from outside the existing ecosystem, and how much is rotated from it?
I also saw limited enthusiasm as a reason to look more closely. Low attention can create overlooked opportunities, but it can also reflect weak demand. What interests me now is whether the product can turn that early thesis into measurable use.
Read the original project announcement · 7 Nov 2025 ↗The dates and numbers, with context
The macro timeline. The Fed announced on 29 October 2025 that securities runoff would stop on 1 December. The announcement linked in my post is dated 7 November — nine days later, not two. Timing is part of my research; it does not demonstrate coordination.
The 2019 comparison. The Fed ended runoff from 1 August 2019, before HEX’s December launch. Those events were not simultaneous.
The roughly $5.9M figure. My original note quoted an early sacrifice total. It is an historical observation from that note, not a current figure, market capitalization, fully diluted valuation or price floor. Sacrifice totals and token market caps cannot be used interchangeably.
The ranking goal. “Top 10–20” described what I intended to do. I am not presenting it as a verified final result. The original note’s publication date and quoted sacrifice total have not been independently established here.
Project naming. The linked 7 November announcement used “MrProve” and “PrivateProver”. The current project website uses ProveX and identifies its token as PRVX. The original link is retained so you can read the language used at the time.
The rankings domain was unavailable during this review. No current total or rank is inferred from it.
This research is growing
More of the thinking. More of the record.
I’m preparing further posts on HEX, PulseChain, PulseX, INC and ProveX, with original material, catalyst updates and the evidence behind my conviction. This page is a work in progress.
02 / Understand the ecosystem
Six tokens.
Know what each one does.
Choose a token to understand its role, our interest and the questions worth asking. Then explore the live markets below.
pHEX / HEX on PulseChain
A separate chain. A distinct market.
What it is
HEX on PulseChain is separate from HEX on Ethereum. The shared name does not make balances, liquidity or prices interchangeable.
Why it interests us
This is the asset at the centre of CIX369’s archived all-in thesis. Lower-cost interaction and the surrounding PulseChain community are part of his interest.
What to check
Check liquidity, actual use and commitment mechanics. A strong community alone does not establish future returns.
eHEX / HEX on Ethereum
The Ethereum side of HEX.
What it is
eHEX is the name commonly used to distinguish Ethereum HEX from its PulseChain counterpart. Confirm the chain and contract before using a wallet or chart.
Why it interests us
HEX’s fixed contract design and self-custody are central to our view. Each chain deserves its own assessment.
What to check
Ethereum fees, market depth and lock-up conditions matter to the practical experience.
PLS / PulseChain
The network’s native gas asset.
What it is
PLS pays transaction fees on PulseChain. The price chart below uses a wrapped-PLS pool as a market proxy; wrapped PLS is not the asset used directly for gas.
Why it interests us
A usable network is the foundation for the ecosystem. We’re interested in what people can actually do on it.
What to check
Look for repeat activity and reliable tools, not just a rising token price.
PLSX / PulseX
The exchange and its token.
What it is
PulseX is a decentralised exchange on PulseChain. PLSX is its token; PLS is the separate asset used to pay network fees.
Why it interests us
Accessible swaps connect the ecosystem. Our interest includes how exchange activity relates to the token’s mechanics.
What to check
Read the current protocol mechanics. Trading volume is not automatically income for every token holder.
PRVX / ProveX
The app and the token are different decisions.
What it is
Using ProveX and acquiring the PRVX token are separate actions. Check the official app for current supported routes and availability.
Why it interests us
CIX369 is interested in easier movement between traditional payment methods and crypto. The archived beta discussion expresses that thesis.
What to check
Test actual availability and use. App adoption alone does not prove demand for the PRVX token.
INC / Incentive Token
Understand where incentives come from.
What it is
INC is the PulseX incentive token. Buying INC, providing liquidity and farming are different activities with different exposures.
Why it interests us
INC and farming feature in CIX369’s original ecosystem thesis. Incentives are interesting when paired with genuine trading activity.
What to check
Compare emissions, reward demand and liquidity. Farming adds exposure beyond simply holding a token.

Connecting to market data…
Sources, chart periods & market data
Prices, 24-hour changes, market-cap estimates, fully diluted valuation (FDV), liquidity and volume: DEX Screener. Historical closes: GeckoTerminal. Liquidity and volume refer to the selected pool, not the entire token ecosystem. Market cap and FDV use the provider’s methodology; no custom Origin Address exclusion is applied. Supply, holder totals and all-time-low returns are omitted because they require separate verified datasets.
24H uses 15-minute candles; 7D uses hourly candles; longer periods use daily candles. 24-hour changes come from DEX Screener. Other percentages compare the first and last available chart closes. A young pool or a limited source history can provide less than the selected period; open the full chart to see the exact dates. Times are UTC. Prices refresh every 90 seconds while this section is visible; historical data is cached for 4–60 minutes. Older data is labelled; missing values show a dash.
PLS uses the WPLS/DAI pool as a price proxy. Native PLS market cap and FDV are therefore left blank. HEX is on PulseChain; eHEX is on Ethereum. The same symbol on another network is not interchangeable. These charts show market data, not executable trade quotes.
Visual reference: PulseChain Stats. Built for CIX with independently fetched market data.
03 / Our market analogy
XRP & HEX.
A question worth exploring.
CIX369’s thesis: a legal catalyst can change attention before lasting demand becomes clear. The chart comparison is a starting question, not a forecast.
Separate the milestones.
13 July 2023: the court’s summary-judgment decision. This is the event discussed in the archived XRP chart, not the date the entire action ended.
7 August 2025: dismissal of the cross-appeals resolved the SEC action. The $125,035,150 penalty and injunction remained in effect.
A different legal route.
28 February 2025: the court granted the motion to dismiss the SEC complaint on jurisdictional and U.S. transaction/conduct grounds, with an opportunity to amend.
21 April 2025: the SEC said it would not amend. This was a significant litigation win in that action, not a trial verdict endorsing the tokens.
Read the documents & timeline ↓Our take
We’re interested in whether attention turns into adoption, liquidity and easier access. Similar-looking price moves cannot establish that HEX will follow XRP, or that a rally arrives one year after a legal event.

Open the full original image ↗Legal evidence / U.S. civil action
The SEC complaint was dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Case 1:23-cv-05749, Eastern District of New York. The sequence matters.
The SEC files its complaint
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 court grants the motion to dismiss
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 ↗The SEC declines to amend
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 ↗A legal victory in this action. A precise conclusion.
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
Conviction needs a scoreboard.
What would strengthen our view
Usage beyond shared conviction
- Repeat demand: users return to applications without relying entirely on promotional incentives.
- Executable liquidity: meaningful trades can enter and exit without severe price impact.
- Independent development: useful products, documentation and contributors emerge beyond one public figure.
What would challenge our view
Separate conviction from exposure
- Concentration: examine token ownership and pool depth before interpreting headline valuations.
- Commitment mechanics: understand lock periods, penalties, gas costs and the ability to exit.
- Operational risk: bridges, contracts and interfaces add distinct failure points. A legal result does not test their security.

The next research pass
Three checks that would add substance.
Measure the actual pools.
Record the chain, pool, quote asset, date and trade size. Compare slippage rather than combining incompatible HEX quotes.
Look beyond price.
Study recurring usage, fee activity and application retention. Distinguish trading churn from useful activity.
Update the record.
Track dated technical releases and new court filings. Revise the thesis when new evidence contradicts it.
CIX learning route / PulseChain essentials
Your wallet. Your route.
One step at a time.
Begin with the basics, then choose what you want to explore. Our summaries and project guides sit alongside the original PulseChainStats video tutorials.
01
Wallet
Set up your 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: PulseChainStats02
Network
Add PulseChain.
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: PulseChainStats03
Funding
Understand the bridge.
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: PulseChainStats04
Swap
Make sense of PulseX.
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: PulseChainStats05
Explore
Read the on-chain record.
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: PulseChainStats06
Advanced / optional
Understand liquidity.
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: PulseChainStats07
Advanced / optional
Understand farming.
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.

PLS / Your first network fundsOpen walkthrough +
Guide 01 / PulseChain
Get your first PLS.
PLS is the native asset used to pay PulseChain transaction fees. Adding the network to a wallet does not fund the wallet.
Prepare your 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 ↗
Add and verify PulseChain.
Use the wallet setup on PulseChain.com ↗ or enter the current network details in your wallet. Compare them with the official site before saving.

Gas currencyPLS
Exploreripfs.scan.pulsechain.com ↗
Choose how to fund it.
The 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.
Check the destination before paying.
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.
Verify receipt, then continue.
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.
pHEX / From PLS to HEXOpen walkthrough +
Guide 02 / HEX on PulseChain
From PLS to pHEX.
Begin with PLS in your own PulseChain wallet. This walkthrough explains a swap, not a reason to invest or a promise of returns.
Open the official PulseX entry point.
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.
Confirm the wallet and token.
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.
HEX · PulseChain · chain ID 369
0x2b591e99afE9f32eAA6214f7B7629768c40Eeb39Compare with HEX.com and PulseChain.com. A contract address is not a receiving address for a manual payment.
Review the quote.
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.
Read the wallet request before signing.
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 ↗
Check the result.
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.
PRVX / Buying the ProveX tokenOpen walkthrough +
Guide 03 / ProveX token
How to buy ProveX (PRVX).
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.
Start with a funded PulseChain wallet.
If you are new, follow the PLS setup guide first. Keep native PLS for transaction fees even when your swap input is another token.
Follow the token-buying link.
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.
Verify PRVX and choose your input.
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.

Review the amount and permissions.
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.
Confirm and check your balance.
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.

INC / Buying Incentive TokenOpen walkthrough +
Guide 04 / Incentive token
How to buy Incentive (INC).
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.
Prepare PulseChain and gas.
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.
Open the PulseX swap interface.
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.
Select the exact Incentive token.
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.

Inspect the swap, then the wallet request.
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.
Verify that you received INC.
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.

Beyond the chart / Culture & collectibles
The diamond behind the story.
The Enigma / Often called the HEX diamond
A remarkable object.
A separate story.
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
Curious? Start here.
Who is Richard Heart?
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.
Are HEX, PulseChain and PulseX the same thing?
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.
What is the difference between pHEX and eHEX?
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.
Did Richard Heart win the SEC case?
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 ↑
Where can I watch The Highest of Stakes?
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.
Is the HEX diamond part of the HEX protocol?
