Pulsar Money, a Web3-native business modular payments platform, has significantly enhanced its content verification workflow by integrating Teneo Protocol. The company says it has increased the processing speed of one of its key features by 50x and significantly improved its on-chain payment infrastructure.
API limitations were slowing down Pulsar Money.

This upgrade focuses on automating the process of validating user-generated posts on X. X was frequently bottlenecked by API rate limits and reliability issues.
Building a smarter payments infrastructure for Web3
Pulsar Money is a consumer-friendly on-chain wallet that combines programmable payment services, stablecoin-only transaction flows, real-time rewards, and gaming-related features. It seeks to achieve this by ensuring that blockchain transactions are smooth and reliable enough for everyday use.
As the platform grew, it became important to verify the content posted by users to ensure trust and ensure that users did not experience any issues. However, this was a source of tension with the use of native social network APIs. The team regularly needed to validate large amounts of data over short periods of time, sometimes using monthly quotas of API calls per day.
This usage pattern was incompatible with traditional API rate structures created for use with evenly distributed requests. Validation was delayed due to high demand. When a failure occurred, it had to be fixed manually, placing a burden on operations and slowing down the user experience.
Bursty workload challenges
Validation requirements in Pulsar Money are not constant like in enterprise workloads. Sudden increases in the number of user posts can be caused by campaigns, rewards programs, and community-based programs. Centralized APIs are unreliable in these situations.
Performance constraints and rate limitations were revealed by high throughput. In addition to internal validity, validation posed the risk of losing trust between users and the system. Manual checks helped resolve the issue, but introduced additional work and scalability issues.
The team was looking for an infrastructure solution that would manage compressed demand cycles without sacrificing speed or reliability.
Why the Teneo protocol stands out
According to Pulsar Money lead developer Adrian Larionescu, the Teneo protocol had three decisive advantages. They are resiliency for high-demand workloads, variable workloads that easily scale, and easy integration.
Teneo’s agent-based architecture provides decentralization of wealth in the form of redundancy that cannot be achieved with centralized APIs. Instead of a single data source being disrupted, Pulsar now has access to a distributed validation source that is configured to work under pressure.
This integration process was efficient and allowed the Pulsar Money engineering team to incorporate validation as part of the manufacturing setup without requiring extensive downtime or complex reconfiguration.
From manual checks to full automation
The Teneo protocol is now fully integrated as part of Pulsar’s application flow. When a user posts a post to be verified, the post is automatically processed by the system in real-time. The previous use of manual review queues has been deprecated.
What was once a time-consuming manual process is now an automated, scaled-up process that allows you to easily manage network loads without any issues. Checks for previous outages due to API limits are now consistent even under high traffic.
As a result, processing time for Pulsar Money’s core validation workflow has been cut in half.
