Pulsr, a pioneering AI-powered search engine for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), is revolutionizing the way digital art is discovered and shared within the Web3 ecosystem. On Thursday, April 25, the platform is launching its utility token, $PULSR, marking a significant milestone in its mission to enhance the visibility of on-chain assets across the blockchain landscape.

Established in 2021, Pulsr recognized the challenges faced by platforms in indexing collectibles across multiple blockchains and mediums. This lack of discoverability has posed significant hurdles for creators, forcing them to invest substantial time and effort in building communities on separate social networks. Additionally, newly minted pieces often face penalization by algorithms, while audiences struggle to find content that aligns with their interests.

To address these issues, Pulsr has harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the metadata of existing and future non-fungible tokens. This innovative approach allows visual and audio content to be accurately analyzed, labeled, and conceptualized into text, unlocking a new era of search engine optimization for the NFT space.

Whereas traditional searches for affordable pixel art, NFTs featuring penguins, or on-chain art inspired by techno music would have yielded limited or no results, Pulsr scours the entire Web3 ecosystem, enabling users to discover exciting collections based on their preferences, without relying solely on word of mouth.

NFT enthusiasts already holding digital art in their wallets can now uncover similar creations, connect with like-minded collectors, and bookmark the NFTs that inspire them. Furthermore, Pulsr offers a service called NAME (NFT Automated Metadata Enhancement), which allows creators about to mint their collections to generate detailed metadata labels using AI-enabled computer vision.

With the launch of $PULSR, the platform introduces a token with utility at its core. A portion of the tokens has already been allocated to the community, and can be earned by anyone using the NFT search engine or other services within the Pulsr ecosystem.

Additionally, platforms and individuals can use Pulsr to boost the visibility and searchability of their NFTs by paying fees in $PULSR tokens. Marketplaces will also pay a commission to Pulsr if sales are generated from traffic directed from the platform. This income is then used to buy back $PULSR tokens and distribute them back to stakers.

Minting partners are required to hold a certain amount of $PULSR tokens to access the NAME service for a specified period, and these tokens are gradually burned as the contract comes to an end. Holding $PULSR also brings exclusive perks, including access to online and in-person events celebrating art, technology, and Web3, as well as carefully curated merchandise.

Since the announcement of Pulsr's launch and token event, the platform has garnered keen interest from various Solana-based communities, such as Magic Eden, Madlads, and others. These partnerships aim to enhance Web3-wide NFT discovery and bring a broader range of collections to their audiences.

Pulsr's founder, Maxine Ryan, expressed excitement about the platform's potential to drive NFT adoption and support talented creators in the digital art space. By creating a lasting record of imaginative and thought-provoking works, Pulsr aims to establish itself as a library that will grow for years to come, fueling the digital renaissance within the Web3 ecosystem.
