A global economy backed by human life.
Proof-of-Life consensus: your heartbeat secures the network and mints the currency. No mining. No stake. Just life.
Why Pulse
Current systems depend on central banks, energy-heavy mining, or stake—leading to centralization, waste, and fraud.
Pulse uses biological scarcity: you can't forge being alive. Life becomes the anchor for consensus and value.
No mining farms
Consensus comes from verified human presence, not hashrate.
No stake oligarchy
Security scales with living participants, not capital.
Real humans, real security
Sybil-resistant by design: life cannot be faked.
How it works
From heartbeat to block in simple steps.
Heartbeat capture
Device captures and signs life signals (heart rate, motion).
Broadcast & verify
Nodes verify signatures, timestamps, and continuity.
Transactions
Actions are signed with a current heartbeat—life-backed only.
Pulse Block
Verified heartbeats and transactions form a block.
Proof-of-Life
Block accepted only if enough live humans contributed.
Commit & broadcast
Block joins the chain; rewards distributed; network syncs.

Start Earning
Your heartbeat mines PULSE on the Pulse chain — your own blockchain, secured by life.
Architecture
Device, Node, Block, Consensus, Chain, and Application layers.
Device
Sensors capture heartbeat, motion, temp; device signs data.
Node
Verifies heartbeats and transactions; propagates to peers.
Pulse Block
Aggregates verified heartbeats and transactions.
Proof-of-Life
Threshold check: enough live participants to accept block.
Chain
Immutable ledger of blocks; fork resolution by heaviest life.
Apps & Rewards
Tokens, identity, games, social—all life-backed.
Technical: heartbeat packet & transaction
heartbeat = {
timestamp, heart_rate, motion: {x,y,z},
temperature, device_pubkey, signature
}
transaction = {
sender_pubkey, recipient_pubkey, amount,
heartbeat_signature, timestamp, transaction_id
}Proof of Life
Consensus = "enough live humans in this block." No voting, no hashing race.
Threshold
Block accepted if N_live ≥ N_threshold.
Weighted contribution
W_i = α·HR_i + β·‖M_i‖ + γ·Δt_i (heart rate, motion magnitude, continuous verification time).
Rewards
R_i = (W_i / Σ W_j) · R_total — proportional to your weighted contribution per block.
- Sybil-resistant: fake humans cannot produce valid heartbeats.
- Replay-resistant: timestamp and continuity checks.
- Fork resolution: chain with highest cumulative verified life wins.
Tokenomics
Supply is biologically constrained. No machines, no idle staking — only verified human heartbeats mint PULSE.

Reward Formula
Ri = (Wi / ΣWj) × RtotalIn plain English: Your share of rewards scales with your activity. More active heartbeat, more motion, longer uptime — bigger slice of each block.
Halving Schedule
Block rewards halve every 4 years (governance-voted), creating increasing scarcity — like Bitcoin, but anchored to biology instead of computational waste.
Self-Throttling Inflation
Inflation is biologically constrained — tokens are only minted when real humans contribute verified heartbeats. As the network grows, inflation naturally decreases.

Starting Price: $0.01 / PULSE
Fixed during bootstrap phase (first 100M tokens from reserve). Dynamic pricing kicks in as the network grows — price rises with network health and participation.
Pulsing in
How anyone joins: connect device → sign heartbeats → get verified → earn and transact.
- Get the app and pair your device (wearable or phone).
- Create identity and wallet; keypair stays on-device.
- Stream your first signed heartbeat to a node.
- You're in — earn rewards and transact with life-backed actions.
First-user case: start the network alone (genesis); threshold = 1. Then invite others, referrals, airdrops.
Speed and security
Network is fast and secure at scale because it's backed by life.
Speed
TPS = λ · N_live^avg — throughput scales with active participants. At 100M users, theoretical ~1.8M TPS; inclusion ~5 s, finality ~15 s (3 blocks). Real-world caps depend on bandwidth.
Security
S = Σ W_i (cumulative verified life). P_fork = e^(-k·S_avg). More humans = fewer forks. Sybil-resistant and replay-resistant by design.
Device removal pauses your rewards; the network stays robust when N_total is large (see Pulsing in and Tokenomics).
