PulseVM

Appearance

PulseVMFinancial infrastructure your institution can run on its own terms.

Named accounts, native multisig, and instant, irreversible finality — on a private network you own, not one you join. The open-source execution layer behind A-Chain, the future of XPR Network.

Why PulseVM
For Banks & Credit Unions
Start Building

Accounts that match how institutions work

Human-readable named accounts, hierarchical permissions, key rotation, and weighted multisig — your authorization matrix is a configuration, not a wallet platform you build and audit.

Accounts & permissions

Settlement you can put in an SLA

Sub-second blocks with instant finality. Finalized blocks don't reorganize and there are no confirmation-count policies — a transfer is rejected immediately or finalized.

Finality & settlement

No gas for your customers

The institution stakes compute and bandwidth and provisions storage. Users see an app, never a token purchase. Costs are capacity planning, not per-transaction tolls.

Resource model

Your network, your rules

PulseVM is a plugin for metalgo — any institution or consortium deploys its own chain with its own validators, and the chain's rules are system contracts you own and can change.

Launch your own network

Keep deposits at home

With institution-issued tokenized dollars on Metal Dollar rails, customers get instant programmable money while deposits stay on your balance sheet — your float, your margin, your relationship.

For banks & fintechs

Native, not bolted on

Account abstraction, multisig, batched payments, fee sponsorship, passkey keys — what other chains retrofit onto Ethereum, PulseVM has had from day one.

See what's built in

Build in Rust, C++, or TypeScript

PulseVM and its system contracts are written in Rust (pulse-cdt-rust is the canonical CDT); C++ carries the full Antelope heritage; TypeScript/AssemblyScript is a popular option for teams who prefer it.

Compliance and identity built in

KYC-ready named accounts and asset-level controls — allow-listing, freeze and clawback under legal order — expressed as policy you set, not per-app code. Pairs with Metal Identity for on-chain identity verification.
