Why miners and holders like it

Proof systems inside the proof of work: pearlhash folds a zero-knowledge argument into share verification, which is more than most PoW coins ever attempt.

Choice matters — four separate operators run PRL pools, so no single outage can freeze your rewards.

Merge mining exists in the wild: K1Pool pays PRL and MDL from one stream of work, effectively doubling duty cycles.

Fee pressure works in your favour here: our pool charges 1% and pays hourly against incumbents still running daily cycles.

Research DNA: the codebase grew out of Pearl Research Labs with public history you can actually read.

Desktop wallet 2.0.7 stops stuck sends

Node v1.4.11 tightens the handshake

The region certificate read is now bounded, MaxGarbageLen is enforced on the BIP324 path, and the pearlresearch.ai DNS seeders were dropped from the chain params.

A fresh RTX 3080 reading for pearlhash

hashrate.no's PRL page reports 91.4 Th/s from an RTX 3080 at 224 W, which works out near 0.408 Th/s per watt. The page also lists pool fees and the SafeTrade book side by side.

K1Pool doubles down with merge mining

K1Pool's Pearl pool runs a thirty-day zero-fee window on a twelve-hour PPLNS cycle and pairs PRL with MDL in the same submission.

Kryptex keeps it simple: one percent, daily

The large-cap aggregator's Pearl option trades cadence for convenience — daily PPS-style payouts with no sign-up wall.

HeroMiners brings per-rig dashboards

Another operator in the field, this one leaning on detailed rig telemetry and encrypted stratum endpoints.

Where to turn rewards into cash

Coinex and SafeTrade maintain live PRL books — the practical exit ramp when you'd rather hold something else.

A fourth pool joins the set

pearlhash.xyz went live as an independent operator, which historically pushes fees and payout terms in miners' favour.

Do the arithmetic on payout cadence

One percent with hourly settlement versus three percent daily changes real annual returns more than most miners expect — our comparison page lays both models side by side.

The pool, as machine-readable data

Stats, pool totals, hashrate history, the miner list, network numbers and payment records all sit behind plain /api endpoints, including per-miner and per-rig paths for payout alerts.
