How to Claim PulseChain Airdrop
If you held any ERC-20 tokens on the day of the fork, a copy of those coins now exists on the PulseChain network as PRC-20 tokens.
Firstly, in order to claim the Free PulseChain airdrop, the ERC-20 tokens must have been in your custody in a self custody wallet such as MetaMask or Ledger. If the coins are in an account on a cryptocurrency exchange, they are not in your custody.
Warning
The PulseChain airdrop is not a task based airdrop. What this means is that you don't need to complete specific tasks or actions in order to qualify.
Therefore, you don't have to jump through hoops get your coins because they have already been copied onto the new blockchain.
Beware of scams! You don't actually have to do anything to get your coins because they are already on the PulseChain.
View your Coins
The quickest way to see which coins you own on the PulseChain is to enter a wallet address into the PulseChain block explorer and view your tokens.
You can view the PRC-20 which have been automatically airdropped (copied) into your wallet. If you owned them on Ethereum, you will now own them on PulseChain as well.

Connect
The PulseChain airdrop is a Snapshot Airdrop. Your coins are already on the PulseChain. All you need to do is connect your self custody wallet to the PulseChain and import your tokens.
You will not be able to see air-dropped coins in your MetaMask wallet until you import them. You will need to know the contract address for each coin before importing.
Contract Address
The contract address for PRC-20s is the same as the original ERC-20 contract address. How to get contract address.
- Go to your Ethereum connected MetaMask wallet.
- Click on one of your coins.
- Click the 3 dot menu.
- Click View Asset in explorer.
When you click on View Asset in explorer, you will be taken to the asset page on etherscan.io where you can find and copy the Contract address.
Don't interact with any token contracts which you don't recognise. This applies to any blockchain where you find coins in your wallet which you did not knowingly acquire. If in doubt, don't interact.
Also beware of fake coins made to look like coins you already own. The safest way to proceed is to triple check token contract addresses before importing them into your MetaMask wallet.
Import
Now, connect your MetaMask wallet to the PulseChain network and import your Tokens one by one. That's it!
