What You'll Need

  • A self-custody wallet that supports PulseChain (e.g., MetaMask)
  • PulseChain network added in your wallet
  • A bank account (ACH/wire/debit per Coast availability)
  • KYC (identity verification) with 0xCoast

✅ Tip: Always verify you're on the official Coast site and double-check contract addresses before interacting.

Part 1 — On-Ramp: Bank → CST on PulseChain

Step 1: Create & verify your Coast account

Sign up and complete KYC. This unlocks fiat deposits and on-chain minting.

Step 2: Link your wallet

Connect your PulseChain wallet address in Coast (this is where minted CST will be delivered). Confirm the address is correct—this is critical.

Step 3: Fund your Coast "digital account"

Choose ACH, wire, or card (options vary by region/limits). Deposit the amount of USD you want to convert into CST.

Step 4: Mint CST to PulseChain

In Coast, select PulseChain as the destination network. Choose CST as the asset and enter the amount to mint. Confirm; Coast mints CST (1 CST ≈ 1 USD) and sends it to your PulseChain address.

Step 5: Use CST on PulseChain

Trade or LP on DEXes (e.g., PulseX, TIDE), park in your wallet, or bridge if needed.

🧭 Track it: After minting, view inflows/outflows and net flows for Coast/CST on PulseChainStats → Bridge Stats to confirm activity trends.

Part 2 — Off-Ramp: CST on PulseChain → Bank

Step 1: Hold CST in your PulseChain wallet

Make sure you have a small amount of PLS to cover gas.

Step 2: Start a redemption in Coast

In your Coast account, choose Redeem/Burn CST and select USD to bank (or USDC to another network if available).

Step 3: Send CST to Coast's burn/redeem address

Coast will provide a deposit/burn address and exact instructions. Send the desired amount of CST from your PulseChain wallet. Wait for confirmation.

Step 4: Choose payout method

Select ACH or wire for USD withdrawal (timelines and fees may vary). Complete confirmation and submit.

Step 5: Receive USD in your bank

Coast processes your redemption and credits your bank. Keep the on-chain tx hash and receipts for your records.

🧭 Track it: Watch outflows/net flow on PulseChainStats → Bridge Stats to see aggregate redemptions and liquidity movement.

Fees, Limits & Timelines (What to Expect)

  • On-chain gas: Keep a little PLS handy to cover transactions
  • Compliance: Large transfers can trigger additional checks

Troubleshooting & Safety

  • Pending deposit? Confirm bank status and Coast dashboard updates
  • Wrong network? Ensure you're on PulseChain, not Ethereum or another chain, when handling CST
  • Redemption delays? Check Coast support and your bank's settlement windows
  • Phishing risk: Bookmark official URLs; never share seed phrases or sign unknown approvals
