Crypto in plain English
Four words you need to know
Stablecoin
A coin pinned to the US dollar. USDT and USDC stay around $1, so they don’t swing in value like Bitcoin.
Network
The “road” a coin travels on, like ERC-20, TRC-20 or SPL. Send on the same one shown on the deposit screen.
Wallet
An app, like Trust Wallet, that holds your crypto and lets you buy and send it from your phone.
Gas fee
A small fee paid to the network (not Pulse) to process your transfer. It comes out of your wallet automatically.
Best first buy
Start with a stablecoin.
USDT or USDC hold about $1, so there is no price risk while your transfer is in flight. Bitcoin, ETH, SOL or XRP also work.

How to send it
Four simple steps

Buy USDT or USDC
Open Trust Wallet, tap Buy, and purchase USDT or USDC with your card. Kraken, Coinbase and other exchanges work too.
- Step 02
Copy your Pulse address
In Pulse Markets, open Deposit and pick your asset and network. Copy the address or scan the QR code.
- Step 03
Send on the same network
In your wallet, tap Send, paste the Pulse address and select the same network. Double-check, then confirm.
- Step 04
Arrives in 1–2 minutes
Pulse credits your wallet once the network confirms. Then locate Gold Rock Trades (PAMM) to allocate.
Understanding the gas fee
What is a gas fee, and why?
Every crypto network is run by thousands of computers worldwide. When you send a transfer, you pay them a small fee to process and secure it. That fee goes to the network, not to Pulse.
It is paid in the network's own coin and taken from your wallet when you hit Send, so keep a little of that coin on hand: TRX for Tron, ETH for Ethereum. Wallet apps and exchanges usually handle this for you.
| Network | Paid in | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| TRC-20 (Tron)Cheapest | TRX | ≈ $1 or less |
| SPL (Solana) | SOL | A few cents |
| XRP Ledger | XRP | A few cents |
| Bitcoin | BTC | ≈ $1–3 |
| ERC-20 (Ethereum) | ETH | ≈ $1–5, more at busy times |
Tip: for stablecoins, TRC-20 (Tron) almost always has the lowest gas, usually under a dollar.
The one rule that matters
Always send on the same network you picked on the deposit screen.
The same coin lives on different networks (ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL), and each deposit address belongs to one of them. If you ever send on the wrong network, email support@pulsemarketstrade.com with the transaction hash. Pulse Markets can help recover it for a flat 10% recovery fee.
Avoid these
Common beginner mistakes
Sending on the wrong network
Always match the network shown on the deposit screen.
Forgetting gas
Keep a little of the network coin (TRX, ETH, SOL) in your wallet so the send can go through.
Typing the address by hand
Always copy/paste or scan the QR code. One wrong character and it will not arrive.
You've got this.
Open your Pulse Markets account and fund it in minutes with USDT or USDC.
Crypto prices move; stablecoins (USDT/USDC) hold about $1. Trading involves risk, including potential loss of capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
