FAQ
General Questions
1. What is SafePulse?
SafePulse is a trustless, non-custodial smart contract ecosystem that enables automated, verifiable agreements on blockchain networks. It allows individuals and businesses to manage payments, coordinate work, and verify data without surrendering control of their assets or private information.
2. How is SafePulse different from traditional escrow platforms?
Unlike traditional escrow services, SafePulse removes intermediaries entirely.
Funds are locked inside smart contracts, not held by a company or kept in a user’s wallet. Execution is automatic and condition-based. No human approval, no centralized custody, and no discretionary control over funds.
3. How is SafePulse different from marketplaces like Upwork or Fiverr?
SafePulse is not a marketplace. It’s a protocol-first ecosystem of smart contracts and tools that enable secure, peer-to-peer agreements, payments, and verification. Users interact directly on-chain, without relying on centralized platforms.
4. Is SafePulse a marketplace?
No. SafePulse is a multi-purpose ecosystem of smart contracts, protocols, and tools for secure interactions on EVM-compatible blockchains. It enables agreements, payments, and verifications, but does not match buyers and sellers like a marketplace.
5. Who is SafePulse built for?
SafePulse serves anyone who needs secure, automated, and verifiable digital agreements, including freelancers, creators, small and medium businesses, and enterprises.
6. Is SafePulse open source?
No. All SafePulse components—including the dApp, wallet, smart contracts, algorithms, and protocols—are closed-source, patent-pending, and protected by copyright.
7. What blockchain(s) does SafePulse operate on?
Currently, SafePulse runs on Polygon and Arbitrum. In the future, we plan to support Ethereum mainnet and additional Layer-2 networks to expand access and liquidity.
8. What tokens or stablecoins are supported?
SafePulse supports major stablecoins and tokens commonly used in business: USDT, USDC, DAI, FRAX, WETH, WBTC, MAI, TUSD, LUSD, SUSD, PYUSD, USDE, FDUSD, as well as the native tokens of each supported network.
9. Does SafePulse issue its own token?
Yes, SafePulse currently has two non-financial tokens:
- ELYPS – an access credential token
- PULSE – an execution asset No financial token is planned for launch.
10. Is SafePulse decentralized or partially centralized?
Yes. SafePulse is decentralized and non-custodial.
Smart contracts execute fully on-chain.
SafePulse includes a metadata server, but it:
- Does not store user funds
- Does not store private keys
- Does not store personal data
- Is used only for non-user operational permission handling and storing encrypted references
All agreement logic and value transfers remain on-chain.
Custody & Security
11. Does SafePulse ever hold my funds?
No. SafePulse is non-custodial. Funds never leave the user’s wallet unless conditions of the agreement are cryptographically verified.
12. Who controls the smart contracts?
Contracts are executed automatically by code on the blockchain. Users retain control over assets, and SafePulse does not have the ability to override or alter contracts.
13. Can SafePulse freeze or access my funds?
No. SafePulse cannot access, freeze, or manipulate user funds. Contract logic enforces conditions without intermediary control.
14. What happens if SafePulse shuts down?
SafePulse is decentralized, so the platform shutting down does not affect deployed contracts. Users remain responsible for their own wallets and private keys.
15. Are contracts upgradeable?
Yes. Smart contract code may be upgraded to introduce improvements or fixes.
However:
- Users are not forced to upgrade their deployed contracts
- Upgrades are for deployable contarcts
- Deployed agreement states remain unaffected
Users decide whether to adopt new versions of the contracts.
16. Has the code been audited?
Yes. SafePulse has undergone private audits by humans and AI. Reports are not publicly available but ensure the integrity and security of the platform.
17. What happens if there is a smart contract bug?
SafePulse is not liable for exploits.
If a bug is detected or a new feature is requested:
- Users may report issues directly
- Improvements or fixes may be implemented in upgraded contract versions
Contracts are copyright-protected and not publicly verified, updates and security fixes will be handled internally.
18. What if I lose access to my wallet?
SafePulse cannot recover lost private keys, passphrases, or seed phrases. Users are fully responsible for securely storing and backing up keys.
19. How are disputes handled if there is no intermediary?
SafePulse is arbiterless by design. Agreements enforce themselves. If disputes occur, users can present on-chain proofs or documents in court.
20. Can someone hack or override a contract?
Contracts are executed autonomously on-chain, making them tamper-proof. Users remain responsible for wallet security.
Legal & Compliance
21. Is SafePulse legally binding?
Yes. Actions are recorded on-chain with cryptographic proofs, which can serve as admissible evidence in legal proceedings if required.
22. Can SafePulse contracts replace traditional legal contracts?
SafePulse agreements automatically enforce predefined conditions between parties.
If no external legal enforcement is required, agreements function independently through on-chain execution.
However, if users require traditional legal recognition, regulatory approval, or enforcement outside blockchain execution, additional legal agreements may still be necessary.
SafePulse enforces execution — it does not replace every possible legal framework.
24 & 25. Is SafePulse KYC/AML compliant?
SafePulse is protocol-first, non-custodial, and on-chain, so KYC and AML are not required. There is no central control, similar to platforms like Uniswap, making it enterprise-friendly while remaining compliant with decentralized protocol standards.
26. Can businesses use SafePulse while remaining compliant?
Yes. Businesses can participate in agreements as parties, without acting as flow controllers. All transactions are transparent, verifiable, and non-custodial.
Payments & Transactions
29. How do payments work inside a contract?
Funds are deposited into and locked inside smart contracts. They are released only when contract conditions are met.
30. What does “progressive execution” mean?
Progressive execution allows:
- A single payment contract to be funded through multiple deposits
- Agreement documents to include multiple payment contracts
- Different tokens per payment
- Different expiration times per payment
Each payment contract remains separate, allowing flexibility in structuring complex agreements.
31. Can funds be released in milestones?
Yes.
Each payment contract can be released independently from other payment contracts.
However:
- A single payment contract cannot be released partially
- It must be executed as a whole
- Multiple payment contracts can exist within one agreement
32. Can contracts be revoked?
Yes, if the contract logic allows revocation. Revocable contracts can undo or cancel conditions before execution.
33. What happens if one party disappears?
Funds may lock until all parties act, protecting remaining participants from loss.
34. Can contracts include deadlines?
Yes. SafePulse supports time-bound logic to enforce deadlines automatically.
35. What happens when a deadline is missed?
Agreements can freeze assets or trigger contract-specific logic until conditions are resolved.
36. Are transactions reversible?
Yes, escrow and pledge contracts allow conditional refunds or rollbacks, as defined in the contract logic.
37. What are the platform fees?
SafePulse reduces overhead by removing intermediaries, offering a cost-efficient, transparent transaction environment.
38 & 39. Who pays transaction/gas fees?
Users pay fees directly via their wallet based on network conditions and service pricing.
40. Can payments be made cross-border without restrictions?
Yes. SafePulse operates globally, without mandatory KYC or jurisdictional restrictions, allowing borderless transactions.
Identity & Privacy
41. Do I need to reveal my identity?
No. SafePulse is privacy-first, and personal identity approval is not required.
42. Can I stay anonymous?
Yes. Users may interact pseudonymously, using cryptographic proofs rather than personal data.
43. What is a verifiable credential?
A verifiable credential is a proof of authenticity tied to documents, identity, or agreement actions, stored on-chain without exposing personal data.
44. What is DID (Decentralized Identifier)?
A DID is a unique, URL-like identifier for sovereign entities in decentralized systems. In SafePulse, DIDs identify contracts, deposits, registries, and accounts, ensuring secure, auditable, and abuse-resistant interactions.
45. How does SafePulse verify documents without storing them?
SafePulse uses cryptographic methods to verify the authenticity of documents without storing the actual files.
Users choose where to store their files — whether decentralized storage or their own infrastructure — while SafePulse verifies integrity and authenticity without holding the data.
46. Where are files stored?
Users can store files on decentralized networks or preferred storage, remaining fully in control.
47. Can I use centralized storage?
Yes. SafePulse supports user choice for storage while still verifying proofs on-chain.
48. Does SafePulse track user data?
No. Analytics are anonymous and optional, containing no personal data.
Disputes & Risk Management
49. How are disputes triggered?
Disputes are minimized by self-enforcing agreements, but if they occur, users can present on-chain proofs in court.
50. What does “asset freeze” mean?
Funds are temporarily locked in the contract until all parties fulfill agreement conditions.
51 & 53. Who resolves disputes and can third-party arbitration be used?
SafePulse is arbiterless. No external or third-party arbitration is supported. Users rely on contract enforcement or legal presentation of on-chain proof.
54 & 55. What prevents bad actors and fraud?
Contracts are self-enforcing, tamper-proof, and protocol-first, reducing opportunity for fraud or abuse.
56 & 57. What if both parties disagree permanently / Can funds be locked forever? Funds may remain locked until all parties act. The protocol cannot release funds unilaterally.
Business & Enterprise Use
58. Can enterprises integrate SafePulse via API?
No public API exists; all interactions are directly on-chain via dApp or smart contracts.
60. Is SafePulse suitable for large transaction volumes?
Yes. The platform is designed for high-volume transactions and secure agreement enforcement.
61. Can SafePulse integrate with accounting systems?
No. SafePulse does not integrate with automation or accounting software.
62. Can contracts include multi-signature logic?
Native multisig is not supported, but multiparty agreements with multiple tokens and payments are fully supported.
64. Is SafePulse suitable for recurring agreements?
Recurring or milestone-based agreements can be implemented, but contracts themselves are immutable once deployed.
65. Can SafePulse be white-labeled?
No. All services are patent-pending and copyright-protected.
66. Is there SLA or enterprise support?
SLA is unnecessary due to on-chain decentralized execution, but enterprise support is available through guidance, deployment assistance, and consulting.
