Token Utility
The Pulse AP token is the backbone of the network. It powers jobs, secures receipts, and ensures incentives are aligned for devices, nodes, and users.
Unlike speculative tokens, the Pulse AP token is tied directly to real-world actions: every time a robot, drone, or IoT sensor completes a job, the token flows.
Core Functions of the Token
1. Job Payments
Devices and users pay tokens to request jobs on the network.
Jobs can range from simple sensor readings to complex robotic actions.
Payment only occurs once the job is verified with a receipt.
2. Node Rewards
Nodes earn tokens for executing jobs correctly.
Each completed job generates a receipt, unlocking token rewards.
Future versions may include staking, where misbehavior results in penalties.
3. Governance
Token holders participate in protocol decisions.
Governance includes fee structures, supported job types, and protocol upgrades.
This ensures the community drives the future of Pulse AP.
4. Innovation Incentives
Tokens fund hackathons, developer grants, and integrations.
Builders who create new robotics modules or IoT drivers can be rewarded.
Why This Matters
Fairness → Tokens only move when work is proven.
Utility-Driven Circulation → No idle speculation; tokens flow through real jobs.
Alignment → Devices, nodes, and users all benefit from the same token economy.
Example
A farm deploys soil sensors using Pulse AP.
Each verified reading earns tokens for the sensor owner.
The farmer pays in tokens, but only for accurate, verified data.
This cycle repeats at scale across industries, creating a machine economy powered by Proof of Utility.
