6. The Token Economy: Energy Engine of the Ecosystem

Pulse uses a dual-token model designed to encourage participation, support governance, and create long-term economic value for committed users.

Overview

Token	Type	How To Get It	Primary Use
$PULSE Points	Non-transferable	Earn through platform activity	Spend on features, convert to Native Token
Native Token	Transferable	Exchange from $PULSE Points, or acquire externally	Governance, gas fees, staking, trading

This dual-token model ensures that:

• Daily engagement is consistently rewarded ($PULSE Points)

• Commitment to the Pulse ecosystem brings more long-term value (Native Token)

• Governance power reflects actual contribution, not just purchase

$PULSE Points

$PULSE Points are the participation currency of the Pulse ecosystem. They can be earned through daily actions such as posting, engaging, completing missions, inviting users, transacting, voting, and contributing to platform growth.

Key characteristics:

• Non-transferable (cannot be traded between users)

• Earned only through user behavior

• Can be redeemed for the Native Token

• Designed to be spent regularly so that points are circulating instead of being hoarded

How to Earn $PULSE Points

Spending $PULSE Points

To keep the economy healthy, points must have meaningful uses. Pulse offers a number of spending sinks that keep the flow circular:

Activity	Description	Examples
Native Token Exchange	Convert $PULSE Points into the platform's Native Token	Exchange $PULSE Points to acquire Native Token for governance or trading
Messaging & Gifting	Chat with non-friends, cover red packet gas fees	DM strangers, send/receive red packets on Layer 2s, etc.
Campaigns & Events	Participate in various campaigns and events	Social campaigns, prize events, etc.
Gaming	Exchange $PULSE Points for access to games, lotteries, or prize pools	Play jackpot, betting, crash game, etc.
Customization & NFTs	Personalize identity and redeem exclusive items	Mint PSP, redeem frames/skins, engage with Pulse PSP Pet system

Native Token

The Native Token is the ecosystem's governance and transactional cornerstone. Acquired by exchanging $PULSE Points, it empowers users to participate in decentralized governance, cover gas fees on the Pulse Chain, and pay trading fees. As a transferable asset, the Native Token facilitates seamless value exchange and incentivizes active involvement.

Key characteristics:

• Transferable (can be traded, sent, received between users)

• Acquired by exchanging $PULSE Points (or external acquisition)

• Exchange ratio between $PULSE Points and Native Token is dynamically adjusted according to ecosystem activity and supply-demand balance, ensuring Native Token's fair value and sustainable growth

Utilizing Native Token

Activity	Description
Governance Participation	Native Token holders can vote on protocol proposals, influence ecosystem decisions, and actively participate in shaping the future of Pulse
Transaction & Service Fees	Native Token can be used to pay gas fees on Pulse Chain, cover trading fees within the platform, enabling seamless and efficient user interactions
Staking to Earn Credit	Native Token holders can stake Native Token to boost their PCS, aligning long-term commitment with the growth and stability of the ecosystem

The Flywheel Circulation

Pulse’s token system creates a circular loop:

Participate → Earn $PULSE Points → Convert to Native Tokens → Stake for Credit → Earn More Rewards → Participate More

Together, these components form a cohesive value layer that drives participation, utility, and governance across the ecosystem. $PULSE Points incentivize user engagement and unlock platform functionalities, while the Native Token represents real economic value, powers governance, and facilitates seamless on-chain operations. The Pulse Credit System transforms user behavior into account influence, anchoring long-term alignment and ensuring a fair, sustainable system for all participants.
