# PulseMafia Intro

**What is PulseMafia?**

PulseMafia is a project focused on pooling PLS within the community in order to maximize rewards through Pulsechain Validators. This is achieved by:

1. Launching an ongoing community fundraise to raise the most PLS possible.
2. Launching as many validators using the pooled funds (in exchange for MAFIA token).
3. Reinvesting the rewards immediately back in to validators to grow the portfolio (compound) for 1 year.

**Tl;dr version:**

**Problem:** Most of us are sitting on idle PLS, not earning on it. Becoming a PLS Validator requires 32m PLS (\~$3,000), however the node (computer) itself costs \~$1500, hence doesn't make sense to do it on your own unless you're a large bag holder. Additionally, one must be technical enough to know how to operate the node for your validators. Between the capital required and technical ability, it makes it very difficult for the average person to participate.

**Solution:** Run an ongoing fundraise to create a PLS pool, in exchange for the MAFIA token. The Benevolent Wallet (BW), also known as "The Godfather" uses the funds to create PLS validators, in exchange for minting MAFIA token that represents your % ownership of the pool.

Every time The Godfather earns 32M PLS in rewards (minimum required to stake), he reinvests (compounds) back in to a new validator.

This process happens for a period of 1 year (August 15, 2024). At the end of the length term, the Benevolent Wallet exits the validators & distributes the principal + rewards back to the MAFIA token holders.

It's similar to "Bigger Pays Better" in HEX, except The Godfather's number one focus is to acquire new validators as quickly as possible in order to compound his families' (your) rewards.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mikes-organization-9.gitbook.io/pulsemafia/overview/pulsemafia-intro.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
