7. The Social Layer
The Social Layer transforms everyday interactions into measurable on-chain value through a decentralized social mining system — without sacrificing speed, usability, or scale.
It is designed to feel as fast and natural as mainstream social apps, while ensuring that value, reputation, and ownership remain on-chain.
The Core Idea
Every interaction contributes to Pulse’s social graph and influences the Pulse Credit Score (PCS). High-quality interactions are rewarded. Low-quality or abusive behavior is naturally suppressed through incentive alignment. Rather than relying on manual moderation, the ecosystem self-regulates through shared economic and reputational outcomes.

The Technology Behind the Social Layer
Pulse is built on a hybrid architecture designed to optimize both decentralization and real-time user experience.
A Hybrid Architecture: Assets on-chain (AA Wallet), Messages off-chain (Instant RTC). The best of both worlds.
On-chain Identity, assets, and reputation (PCS) are secured by smart wallets and verifiable on-chain logic.
Off-chain Messaging, reactions, and group conversations are delivered via Enterprise-Grade RTC (Real-Time Communication) Infrastructure, ensuring low latency, high reliability, and global scalability.
This approach allows Pulse to support real-time social interaction at scale, while anchoring all meaningful value and reputation directly on-chain.
Why It Matters
Social activity directly strengthens PCS through:
Consistent engagement
Constructive feedback
Creative contributions
Support for healthy community behavior
The Social Layer ensures that meaningful interaction is not just social — it becomes reputational capital and economic opportunity, without forcing users to trade usability for decentralization.
