How to mine Pearl (PRL) with GPU
Pearl is a Proof-of-Useful-Work (PoUW) blockchain that replaces traditional hashing with matrix multiplication — the core operation of AI. This guide shows how to connect NPMiner to NushyPool and mine PRL on PPS or Solo.
About the Pearl blockchain
Pearl uses a Bitcoin-forked UTXO model with a 194 second target block time , giving miners a familiar transaction model while using AI-native matrix multiplication for proof-of-work.
Pearl basics
Use a valid Pearl wallet address before mining. Official mainnet Pearl wallet addresses start with prl1...
- Address prefix: PRL mainnet addresses start with prl1...
- Pool fee: PPS 1% / Solo 1%
The Pearl PoUW mining algorithm
Pearl mining uses matrix multiplication (PearlHash) with ZK-SNARK proofs (Plonky2). Instead of searching for a hash below a target, miners perform useful matrix multiplications and generate zero-knowledge proofs. This is the first AI-native PoW — mining produces verifiable GPU compute, not just heat.
Mining pools and reward distribution
There are currently only a few pools. You can see network statistics at the
Pearl block explorer
The pool distributes rewards every 10 minutes with a 1% fee (PPS) or 1% (Solo).
Before you start, make sure you have a valid Pearl wallet address (starting with prl1...) and a GPU (NVIDIA recommended). Pearl mining requires a compatible miner that supports the Pearl PoUW protocol. NPMiner with Pearl support can be downloaded from the official NushyPool GitHub.
A table with supported miners for Pearl is shown below.
