Pulse Brings Web3 to Life with NFT Avatars at WebX Tokyo

Pulse made a big splash at WebX Tokyo 2025, Asia’s largest Web3 conference, with its side event held near Tokyo Tower. Known as the world’s first fully decentralised AA Wallet with Minimal Keystore Rollup, Pulse wowed guests by mixing Japanese culture with Web3 innovation. 

The star of the night was the Pulse Tag NFT Avatar campaign, where visitors created over 2,000 unique AI-powered avatars, many of which quickly went viral online. Inspired by collectable cards, the avatars struck a chord with Japanese users and boosted Pulse’s visibility across Web3 and AI circles. 

The event also featured community rewards and a fan-favourite mascot dinosaur that attendees embraced. Pulse says this is just the beginning, with plans to expand across Asia, deepen ties in Japan, and bridge Web2 ease with Web3 innovation.

Baselight and Walrus Unite to Unlock the Permissionless Data Economy

Baselight, a permissionless data hub from Finisterra Labs, has teamed up with Walrus to make on-chain data more useful, shareable, and valuable. Normally, raw data stored on-chain is hard to use, but this integration transforms Walrus “blobs” into structured datasets that can be easily queried, analysed, and even monetised. 

Baselight already indexes over 120 billion rows, 281,000 tables, and 51,000 datasets, powering use cases in finance, AI, research, and sports analytics. With its SQL engine and AI support, it helps developers and researchers integrate data into real-time workflows. Walrus adds efficiency through Quilt, a batching system that reduces costs and improves performance, especially for AI-scale data. 

Builders can now set flexible access rules, like token-gated queries or DAO-controlled licences, while keeping data decentralised and verifiable. Together, Baselight and Walrus aim to unlock the permissionless data economy, turning idle information into active, collaborative, and monetisable assets.
