It’s been one full year since #HDRN was launched on #ETH . It’s been an awesome ride so far, can’t wait to see what the future holds on #PulseChain . #HEX is truly amazing being able to support a diverse array of derivatives. To every #Hexican and #Hedronian . Thank you.

If you have a #HEX , or #PulseChain community app that is 100% not for profit. When the datacenter is at or near full capacity i will host them at cost, or potentially less. Assuming it doesn't rely on external paid services.

#PulseChain is more than just forking geth / prysm with some of changes. You need a block explorer, which means lighthouse and probably erigon too. Then it all needs to pass tests. AMM Bot, PulseX, Bridge, etc... all have to work flawlessly. A lot of time doing validation.

. @RichardHeartWin Hot take, after #PLS , #PLSX , wallet. You might consider launching #PulseX on #ETH & maybe others. One reason really, integrate swap into the wallet on other chains. MM swap earns way too many fees from plebs, might as well be pulsicans earning fees.

How does #Icosa benefit #HEX ? It promotes further locking of more hex #5555club . It has one-way positive only arb with the cost of creating a new $HEX stake. It time locks and provides utility to #HDRN a HEX staking incentive token. Those are the main takeaways.
