Pulse Protocol

Closed testnet is live. We’re opening early access for builders, communities, and teams who want to test Pulse before public launch. Join Pulse Discord, get access, and help shape what comes next: discord.gg/Ghgwkw6qN

The moat isn't the protocol. It's the data. Every farming attempt that fails makes the next one harder to run. What other infra businesses have you seen win on data compounding?

No token at launch. Charge users to participate and you destroy the signal. Do you trust reputation systems with tokens more or less?

The appeal process ships before the first demotion fires. False positives are real. No recourse is worse than the attack. How do you handle false positives in your sybil stack?

Streaks punish real people who miss a day. We built decay curves and grace periods instead. How much leniency before the signal breaks?

We kept watching builders ask how many of those were real. So we started building the answer. Behavior-based reputation. Soulbound. No documents. What would you use it for first?

A signal that gets harder to fake the longer someone tries to fake it. Not proof of humanity. Better than what you're running now. Would you integrate it? What would make you trust it?

The goal isn't to prevent farming. It's to make farming unprofitable and detectable. What would unprofitable farming look like in your ecosystem?

Reputation that transfers is just inventory. Soulbound isn't a technical detail. It's the only thing that makes the signal real. Should reputation ever be transferable?

A bot can fake a wallet. It can fake transactions. It can't fake 90 days of consistent, unpredictable behavior across multiple contexts. What's the longest a farm fooled you?

You don't need to know who someone is. You need to know if they're real, distinct, and consistent. Different question. Does your stack answer it?

Every project rebuilds the same sybil pipeline from scratch. It works once. Breaks the next campaign. Nobody shares the data. Why hasn't a shared layer won this yet?

Patient farms simulate 90 days of history. On Base, that costs less than a coffee. The filter you're trusting isn't a filter.

Gitcoin Passport works until one stamp gets gamed. Then the whole score is compromised. Which stamp do you trust most? Least?

Wallet age filters. Farmers buy aged wallets for $30. Is there any on-chain heuristic that actually holds up?

KYC killed your funnel. The farms that stayed just bought verified accounts. What's the least bad solution you've actually shipped?

"How many real users do you have?" Every founder pauses before answering. The pause is the answer. What number do you actually trust in your metrics?

Built a quest program to find real users. Bots finished it in 11 minutes. What's the worst farming story you've seen?

Your governance vote passed 94%. Could've been one operator with 3,000 wallets. Has anyone actually solved governance sybil?

$200k in incentives. Day one leaderboard dominated by wallets created that morning. What did you do when you realized it?
