They happen on-chain, out in the open, with the community in control. If you hold $ePULSE, you can vote on proposals that shape the future of Pulse AP, whether it’s new features, protocol changes, or funding decisions. But we’re not here to recreate plutocracies. Voting power on Pulse AP isn’t just about how many tokens you hold. It’s also based on your usage, track record, and contributions. Your Perception Score plays a key role. That means no one gets to buy their way into control. Influence is earned through work, not wealth. Governance here is slower to game and more aligned with the spirit of decentralization. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://documentation.pulseap.com/governance-and-community/governance-and-voting-power.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
