Building on Pulse

We use Polygon CDK Validium to build the Ethereum layer2 network for Pulse. This choice stems from several reasons. First, Validium is a scaling solution that enforces integrity of transactions using validity proofs like ZK-rollups, but doesn’t store transaction data on the Ethereum Mainnet. It is also a zero-knowledge validium that utilizes zero-knowledge proofs, which enhances trustlessness. Because only a hash of the transaction data is kept on the Ethereum Mainnet, this process ensures lower gas fees due to off-chain data storage.

Attestation

User-related data must be verified to be accurate and consistent.

Therefore, changes in user-related data can be processed by Validator nodes, and the relevant information and validation are to be stored in a decentralized manner via on-chain blocks.
