Pulse

Pulse is an InfoFi protocol launched by Alphabot, with its official website and Twitter both at https://x.com/PulseInfra. It positioned itself as crypto's "Action Layer," aiming to connect attention with on-chain behavior: measuring social engagement, issuing on-chain tasks, and running campaigns to distribute crypto rewards based on participation. The platform was powered by the $BOOST token and was formerly affiliated with Boost and Alphabot. In one campaign with GRVT, the top 100 participants shared a $30,000 prize pool in $ZK.

The core narrative was "from attention to action": addressing the problem that crypto marketing often generates passive viewership but not real on-chain participation. Pulse tried to turn social media interactions into verifiable on-chain tasks and reward distribution, essentially an InfoFi model using social data as the basis for rewards.

A major negative development: on December 3, 2025, X sent Pulse a cease-and-desist letter, alleging violations of X's Terms of Service and Developer Policy for using X data to rank engagement and reward users. Pulse then announced it would discontinue the platform. X later updated its API policy on January 15, 2026, explicitly banning apps that reward users for posting, and revoked API access from affected InfoFi platforms. Therefore, during the recent half-year window (March 5, 2026, to September 5, 2026), Pulse had no verifiable operational activity. Aside from unrelated same-name items such as Goldman Sachs' AI Project Pulse or Bitcoin's Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse, no credible new developments for this protocol were found.
