What is SENS?
SENS Research Foundation was a non-profit that funded longevity research. It has since merged into the Lifespan Research Institute; on 17 October 2026 the old sens.org address forwarded to lifespan.io.
How did the donation work?
PulseChain’s sacrifice phase ran from 15 July to 3 August 2021. Participants sent coins to receive PLS at launch, and during the same window they could also sacrifice to SENS Research Foundation. Longevity news sites reported on the SENS side while the sacrifice was still running.
How much reached SENS?
| Reported by | Figure | When | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fight Aging! | At least $20 M in the first two days | July 2021 | 3 |
| Lifespan.io | $20 M | July 2021 | 3 |
| Longevity.Technology | $20 M “and climbing” | July 2021 | 4 |
| PulseChain press release | Over $27 M in 19 days | 2021 | 2 — self-reported |
| richardheart.com | $27,000,000 | 2024 snapshot | 2 — self-reported |
The early reports agree on at least $20 M; the project’s own figure for the whole window is over $27 M. SENS itself has not published a final figure that could be found, so the portal gives the range with its sources instead of a single number.
Why is there no exact figure?
Because the documents that would settle it are hard to reach. SENS’s 2021 annual report has no usable archived copy, and its 2021 U.S. tax filing could not be found by name. Later SENS figures for crypto income do not say how much came from PulseChain, so none of them is attributed to the sacrifice here.
What else does he give away?
SciVive is his self-help brand. Its book appeared in 2018 as a free, self-published title of about 461 pages, with no ISBN; an outline was uploaded to the Internet Archive by the author’s own account on 23 February 2018. The SciVive Telegram channel pins the free books and had 3,566 members on 17 October 2026.
His 2024 website called SciVive, his YouTube channel and the free books the most positive thing he has done. It also lists short self-help videos — on discipline, quitting gambling and trading, avoiding hangovers and apologising well. The scivive.com website showed a software error on 17 October 2026.
