Type how much ADA you hold. AdaPulse tells you what it is worth, how it moved today, and where the Cardano epoch stands — before you have finished unlocking the phone. No wallet connection. No account. No seed phrase. One number, typed once, stored on your phone. WHAT YOU SEE FIRST Your balance, not the market. The value of what you hold is the largest thing on the screen; ADA's own price sits underneath it as one quiet line. Today's move is there in both money and percent. THE CHART, SCRUBBED Drag across the chart and the big number becomes what your ADA was worth at that moment, with the difference to now. The curve is smoothed through every real sample, so the price you read is a price that happened. THE CARDANO EPOCH, LIVE An epoch is exactly 432,000 one-second slots, so AdaPulse computes the clock on device from the network's own arithmetic. It keeps counting with no signal, and it agrees with the explorers to the second. WHAT IF Price targets with what each is worth to you. The all-time high, how far back it is, and what the way back pays. Market-cap maths in reverse: what ADA would cost at a given valuation. FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE The value of your holding, today's move, the day and week chart, the epoch clock, one price target, and the market figures — all free, for good.
