Pulse Nodes

Pulse Nodes are the software endpoints (mobile & browser webapps) in the Presens Network that seamlessly contribute anonymous time-location signals. They are the foundational units of the spatiotemporal infrastructure.

hashtag
Access & Deployment

  • Lightweight webapp install (mobile / browser), minimal permissions.

  • Available to individuals globally; no specialized hardware needed.

  • Once set up, little maintenance.

hashtag
Five Classes of Pulse Nodes

Pulse Nodes now operate across five classes: Core, Elite, Elite+, Prime, and Prime+

Each offering different reward multipliers and Pulse cooldowns. All tiers are unlocked through xSENS activation and none require fiat payment at current moment.

hashtag
Incentives & Rewards

  • Token Rewards: All Pulse Nodes earn emissions for valid time–location contributions (coverage, signal quality, density).

  • Early Operator Airdrops: Eligible for airdrops leading up to Token Generation Event (TGE).

  • Reward Multipliers: Higher tiers offer increased multipliers and efficient Pulse cooldown frequency.

hashtag
Signal Flow & Veracity

  • Time-location data captured → anonymized → aggregated.

  • Mechanisms for ensuring signal validity (e.g. detection of weird outliers or location spoofing).

For enterprise or regulated use cases, Presens also offers an anchoring extension as a premium service. This enables datasets to be hashed and cryptographically sealed on-chain, providing verifiable audit trails where required, without burdening the core flow.

Strategic Importance

  • More nodes = denser coverage = higher dataset value.

  • Software-only scale enables global adoption fast.

  • Easy UX reduces friction & boosts retention.

  • Privacy-first design helps legal / regulatory alignment & trust.

Pulse Nodes transform Presens from a protocol into a living network. By enabling anyone from everyday users to premium contributors to participate in spatiotemporal data generation, they ensure the dataset is not only cryptographically secured but also socially scaled and economically reinforced. This balance of accessibility, incentives, and decentralization underpins Presens’ long-term growth and adoption.
