The first rug pull we watched happen in real time was a Solana memecoin in October 2024. We held it for nine minutes. We lost twelve thousand euros in a kitchen in Milan. The data that would have warned us was free, public, on-chain — it took eleven minutes to read it, and we only had nine.
So we built the tool we wished we'd had in the browser that morning. Pulsentric cross-references what smart money is doing with what the contract actually is, and tells you before you click buy. Everything else on this site — the AI, the six chains, the WhatsApp bot, the embeddable widgets — is plumbing in service of those eighteen words.
§ 01 How we make money.
Two ways, both visible on /pricing: individual subscription tiers for solo operators (Free, PRO €199/month) and Enterprise for funds and teams (€5,000/month, metered API).
What we don't do:
- We don't sell user data. Wallet addresses entered into the scanner are SHA-256 hashed before they enter the logs. Logs rotate every 24h.
- We don't take kickbacks from projects to suppress rug-pull alerts. The deception score is generated by the same code path for every contract.
- We don't run an execution venue. We shut it down in May 2026 after finding a slippage-math bug we couldn't ship without a full external audit. Code preserved 1:1 in the repository with a public revival plan.
- We don't have a token. No airdrop. No points. If you see "$PULSE" trending, that isn't us.
- We don't log IPs beyond 24h. Law enforcement receives cooperation only under valid warrants.
§ 02 Why Milan.
Pulsentric is built in Italy because we're Italian, but the jurisdiction choice isn't incidental. MiCA — the EU crypto-asset markets regulation, in force since 2024 — applies to us, and it's a feature, not a tax. We hold ourselves to disclosure standards that crypto-native products in less regulated markets aren't required to publish.
“We stopped reading Telegram pumps. Pulsentric flags the same alpha thirty seconds before the group chat — and warns us when it's a honeypot.”

§ 03 What we won't become.
The fastest path to €10M ARR would be expanding into copy-trade execution, a proprietary DEX aggregator, a token, and a kickback-based affiliate program. We decided against all four. Each one would shift the client relationship in a direction we don't want — and write the client's worst case into our balance sheet.
§ 04 Timeline.
