[ANN] (PRL) Pearl network - Proof-of-Useful-Work L1 protocol (Pearlhash+AMD)

[PearlGlobal]

Recent news: the project successfully passed the bottom of $0.35 and up to $0.8, now the correlation is at 0.56, which already indicates a live project.

Among other miners, there is a project that supports AMD video cards - "Open Pearl Miner"

Features
Support OS: Windows/Linux/Hive
Open source: yes
Hashrate available
Support AMD and Nvidia cards
Dev fee - 1%

Open Pearl Miner v1.8.0 public release

What new
Added support dual mining ModelOS and Pearl (MDL+PRL)
Fix error on 6700XT
Support 9700XT cards

What changes
Intel Arc XMX — Implements an 8×8×32 INT8 cooperative matrix fold shader using SIMD8. Produces a bit-exact transcript through per-lane XOR combined with subgroupXor across four 8×8 fragments that form a single 16×16 hash tile. Validated against CPU results.

RDNA1 / Vega 56 (SWINT8) — Uses a software-emulated INT8 dot product by manually sign-extending operands and performing INT32 multiply-add operations when shaderIntegerDotProduct is unavailable. Shares a unified execution path with the DP4A implementation.

Architecture gating — Updated to use the exact RDNA2 device ID range (0x73BF–0x7447), allowing RDNA4 devices (0x7550) to bypass the RDNA2-specific path correctly.

Vendor detection — vendor_id is captured during initialization; Intel's vendor ID (0x8086) enables acceptance of the XMX 8×8×K matrix shape during the cooperative matrix capability probe.

Open Pearl Miner v1.9.0 Public release. High performance for middle cards

What new
Fused CuTe Ampere/Ada kernel (sm_80+). 128×256 CTA tile, in-mainloop transcript fold, multistage cp.async.cg + ldmatrix, <8,1,1> TiledMMA (each warp owns a 16-row band so the R-block fold is a direct in-register shfl_xor). Engaged automatically for the real mining shape (region multiple of 128×256, R multiple of 32). Measured 42.7 TH/s on an RTX 4050 (Ada), bit-exact with the DP4A transcript.
Dependency-free ldm fallback. Raw-PTX mma.sync.m16n8k32 with 16 N-fragments per warp (A fragment loaded once, reused ×16) for shapes the CuTe fold doesn't cover, plus a cascade of 64×256 / 64×128 tilings.
Pascal DP4A dual-tile (NT=2). Each warp now computes two adjacent 16×16 tiles, loading the A fragment once for both (shared-memory traffic per FLOP cut ~1.5×), with int2 global→shared staging. Bit-exact: identical dp4a inputs and order.
Leaner bundle. Excluded stray transitive deps (numba/llvmlite, pandas, lxml, pywin32) from the frozen build — back to ~30 MB.

Experimental
CUDA path builds clean for sm_61 / sm_86 / sm_89; the Windows DLL is smoke-tested on a Tesla P40 (Pascal DP4A, pow_split OK).
The Pascal NT=2 change is functional (P40 smoke test OK) but transcript equality on your card is worth a first-shares check as well.

Performance
The CuTe kernel benchmarked 42.7 TH/s bit-exact on the RTX 4050

Ok, so I found some info as the reply to the Discord message about:

Code:

(...) the team premined +50m prl in one day

:
So my findings:
"April 27th, the node code becomes public", until 28 April ~40M was mined, GitHub release 1 May (1st GitHub actions on 29 April), announcement on bitcointalk was 31 May. Judge yourselves.

Blocks 1-13440 (~40M coins, ~3k on the 1 block with easy difficulty):
https://explorer.pearlresearch.ai/block/13440?network=mainnet

Additionally:
Ask AI about (The Usefulness Gap): https://arxiv.org/html/2606.04819v2
You'd not like the pearls after reading this:

Code:

1. The paper provides the first empirical study of Pearl’s cuPOW protocol, a Layer-1 blockchain claiming to secure its network through useful AI inference work.
2. Despite marketing claims of harnessing 24 EH/s of GPU power for artificial intelligence, the study reveals that the network executes zero useful AI workloads.
3. Analysis of the mining software showed no AI-related libraries or memory usage patterns typical of large language models, indicating miners only process random matrix operations.
4. Furthermore, the verification protocol's flaws allow miners to submit completely useless data and still successfully receive token rewards.
5. This speculative mining activity caused a 38% price hike in budget cloud GPUs, effectively crowding out legitimate academic researchers and AI startups from computing resources.

...or maybe AI is wrong.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Thing is it was not announced. First they make a circle of miners mine for themselves then announce 

Over the past couple of weeks, every mining blogger and Telegram channel has been talking about this coin and its profitability. It's hard to call this massive crowd of miners some kind of small insiders-only club.

Every miner, blogger, bitcoiner and sex offender in the world could be yapping their brains out about this shitcoin, but that doesn't mean diddly squat.  But you responded to Ms_Mining's post above yet did not say anything relevant (that my literate brain could translate anyway) about her point alluding to a premine.

I'm guessing--and I'd bet money on it--that this is just another cash grab by some code cloners using the AI frenzy to feed on fools.

You'll see.  Six months and this piece of excrement will be in the graveyard.
