Pearl(PEARL) mining

[FP91G]

Pearl network — a Proof-of-Useful-Work L1 protocol, where mining is produced natively from AI computations. The heart of the protocol is a new and efficient implementation of the core GPU operation (matrix-multiplication), allowing GPUs to implement proof-of-work as a side-effect of AI training and inference workloads (2-for-1). As such, the Pearl protocol intertwines energy, data, and money into a single atomic digital asset. This document outlines the protocol design, key implementation choices, and various economic aspects of the system.

We embed our PoUW protocol into a blockchain protocol. Our blockchain forks Bitcoin with several adjustments detailed below. Full protocol specifications are provided in the code:

Major warning when mining new coins!

How is no one talking about this?

Its the most profitable coin to mine right now for sure, with 2 x 5090 im making over $30 a day in USDC after electric cost.

To me that pretty crazy. Granted it all depends on the price of the coin, which changes rapidly. Of course there is a risk in all things.

Is mining really so dead no one sees this? You guys realize that a huge amount of vast.ai instances are rented out because of Pearl right?

Pearl ($PRL) has been listed on SafeTrade!

Pearl is a Proof of Useful Work Layer 1 blockchain where GPU mining is generated directly from AI inference and training workloads. Rather than dedicating hardware exclusively to traditional hashing, the Pearl Network allows miners and AI operators to secure the blockchain while simultaneously running productive AI computation. The network officially launched mainnet in April 2026 and is designed around GPU native matrix multiplication operations optimized for modern AI hardware.

I cannot even run oyster.exe app to make wallet, the app starts and shuts down instant.

this coin will end soon, it will die like the others, bittensor already exists it doesn't need another

I ran the Pearl-Wallet-Setup-1.0.0.exe on Windows 11 and had no issues. I run the miner in a WSL Ubuntu 24.04 instance, I restricted the WSL instance from doing a lot of things on my PC, as I dont trust some random new miner:

No Windows drive mounted
No /mnt/c file access
No easy Windows .exe launching
No Windows PATH injection
Miner stored only in WSL Linux home
Fresh/limited mining environment

So far its working well with my 2 x 5090s and I didnt have to deal with setting up HIVE OS, as my motherboard was crying about secure boot and honestly messing with any of that on a threadripper board results in all kinds of issues, Ram training starts failing, boots take 5 mins... just cancer. So I am mining on Windows.

From what I can tell this is a better outcome than renting out my rig on Vast.AI, at least right now. Granted there are more hoops to jump through as far as getting paid.

I can also stop mining at any time, when the pool was having issues for about 6 hours yesterday lots of people were complaining because they are still paying hourly for Vast.AI rigs, so I guess its nice to be isolated from that since I own my own hardware.
 
Perhaps the coin will die, but even mining for a week would be quite profitable.

This has always been the case with new coins in mining. Until mining becomes stable, experienced miners who can overcome these issues will reap good profits.
The 5090 graphics card is currently very expensive, so miners won't go to stores to mine this coin.

People are still ASLEEP at the wheel.

Made $50 mining yesterday, if you have GPUs this coin is crazy right now...

RTX 5090 will make about $25 a day currently after electric costs.

Lots of people using 30 series cards seeing very nice returns as well.

Maybe most of the people just don't even know that the coin exists, and a lot of people lost hope in mining altcoins using GPUs because there was barely any profit and most just turned into a waste of time

The question is
1. How long will that "profit" period last?
2. Is the coin trading on a couple of well-known crypto exchanges?

If you have any 20 series or higher nvidia GPUs, this coin is 100% worth mining. Most people probably do have these.

The coin is trading on Safetrade which I have used a lot lately as such:

PRL gets sent from pool to my personal wallet > Personal wallet sends PRL to Safetrade > I convert PRL to USDT > I withdraw USDT on Solana network to Kraken > I convert the USDT to US fiat currency on Kraken and withdraw to my bank.

Have done this a few times now no issues. There is a $1 fee to send USDT out of Safetrade using Solana network. Very cheap when making $50 a day for me. Other than that fees are very very minimal.

People seem obsessed to mine this on 10 series cards (pascal) based on the discords im in, but it is physically impossible and not supported because those cards lack the hardware (tensor cores I beleive) needed to do the math required. So for anyone wondering, you can save your breath asking, because people seemed obsessed on it.

There is also zero support for any AMD card and it wont work.

Could it go tits up a week from now? maybe. Did I still print money for free using hardware I already own outright? Yes.
