Hey everyone,
Been developing something a bit out of the ordinary here in Detroit. It's called Pulse Network. This blockchain mints tokens and builds blocks from actual human heartbeats instead of using GPUs or staked coins. The whole concept is based on the idea that you can't fake being alive on a large scale, so why not use that as a security measure?
Right now, we've got a live testnet running on AWS. You can check it out here:
Dashboard / explorer: https://app.pulse.carbonaromedia.com
Here's a quick status check (the numbers update every ~5 seconds):
- Chain height: ~6700+ blocks
- Average block time: 5 seconds
- Total PULSE minted so far: ~670k
- Active accounts: 9
- Latest block contributed by 3 heartbeats
- Network security based on active contributions: ~17-18k
- TPS: 0 for the moment (just heartbeats while we're in bootstrapping phase)
How it's working right now:
- You can create a wallet in the app/browser, it's just a keypair, no need for setting up nodes.
- To buy PULSE: You can mint from the treasury using fiat (Stripe) or crypto (going to add NOWPayments for SOL/USDC/etc.). No heartbeat is required to receive the tokens, they land in your balance instantly.
- For sending/transferring: It currently needs an active heartbeat signature (a fresh signal from your watch or phone). This keeps everything life-backed and prevents bot dumping, but it does add a bit of friction working on a "light TX" mode for smaller transfers without a pulse.
- Cashing out: Not ready yet. The plan is to bridge to Solana, swap on Jupiter/Raydium, and then cash out via Coinbase/Ramp. Or we might do a treasury buyback if the volume stays low.
- Crypto buying process (once added): You send SOL/USDC to the treasury address, then it goes to the backend.
