Pulse Permissions Protocol® Documentation

Summary:
This introduction provides a high-level overview of Pulse Permissions Protocol®. It explains why Pulse exists, what makes it unique, and guides you to key sections for both newcomers and experienced integrators.

Why Pulse Protocol?​

Traditional consent management is siloed, opaque, and prone to tampering or misuse. Pulse replaces this with:

  • Decentralised, tamper-evident storage: Encrypted payloads are stored in IPFS or Filecoin, never in a centralised database.
  • On-chain anchoring: Every permission or revocation is referenced on the blockchain, creating an immutable audit trail.
  • User-centric key management: Hierarchical keys are derived for each consent event, ensuring robust cryptographic boundaries.
  • Stateless, scalable architecture: No persistent plaintext keys, minimal operational risk, and seamless multi-party collaboration.

What Makes Pulse Unique?​

Pulse Protocol offers:

  • Cryptographic, user-centric consent: Only the user or explicit grantors can approve or revoke permissions.
  • Full auditability: Every consent action is independently verifiable and legally auditable.
  • Decentralised trust: No single party can unilaterally alter or erase records.
  • Privacy by design: Sensitive data never leaves the user’s control unencrypted and is never exposed on-chain.

Security Note:
Never share your wallet mnemonics or private keys. Pulse Protocol cannot recover lost keys and does not store unencrypted sensitive data at any stage.
