PPLNS payouts. 5% pool fee, 5% solo fee. Works on every NVIDIA card with tensor cores — Volta (V100), Turing, Ampere, Ada, Blackwell, and Hopper. No H100 required. Operated by AlphaPool, the team behind Quai, XMR, Zano, and DOGE pools.

Every block this pool has found, newest first. Statuses: Immature (waiting for 100 confirmations) → Confirmed → Paid. Orphans appear as Orphan.

Three steps from zero to mining. No signup. No whitelist. No KYC.
Download the Pearl desktop wallet and generate a Taproot payout address (starts with prl1p…). Save your seed phrase offline. This is the address you'll pay out to.
Use any Pearl miner that speaks the pearl/v1 stratum protocol. AlphaPool builds + ships its own miner binaries for Ampere (SM_86), Ada (SM_89), and Blackwell (SM_120). Volta (V100) supported via source build.
First share lands in ~10 seconds. PPLNS-weighted payouts every 6 hours once you clear the 1.0 PRL minimum. Use the Dashboard to track your hashrate live.
Two endpoints to choose from:
pearl.alphapool.tech:5566 — pooled (PPLNS), smooth payouts, 5% pool fee. Right for <100 GH/s.
pearl.alphapool.tech:5567 — solo, you get the whole block reward (minus 5% solo fee) when you find one. Right for big rigs that want lottery dynamics.
# Linux / macOS ./pearl-miner \ --pool stratum+tcp://pearl.alphapool.tech:5566 \ --wallet prl1p<your_address> \ --worker rig01-4090 \ --password x
Pre-Volta cards (Pascal GTX 10-series, anything older) lack the tensor cores needed for Pearl's NoisyGEMM PoW. CPU mining is not supported. AMD/Apple Silicon support is on the roadmap.
Quick answers about Pearl mining and the AlphaPool setup.
Pearl (PRL) is a Layer-1 blockchain that uses Proof-of-Useful-Work — mining is performed as a by-product of arbitrary matrix multiplication. The protocol is open-source under the ISC license at github.com/pearl-research-labs/pearl. Mainnet launched 2026-04-27.
Any NVIDIA card with tensor cores: Volta (V100, Titan V), Turing (RTX 20-series, T4, CMP 30HX/90HX), Ampere (RTX 30-series, A100, CMP 170HX), Ada (RTX 40-series, L4/L40), Blackwell (RTX 50-series, B100), and Hopper (H100/H200). The miner uses ~2-3 GB of VRAM. Pre-Volta (Pascal GTX 10-series and older) lacks tensor cores and is unsupported. CPU mining is not supported.
5% on pooled (PPLNS), 5% on solo. Same fee on solo so big rigs choosing solo aren't penalized for it. Fees subsidize operating cost (US East server, 24/7 ops); any surplus goes to upstream protocol development.
When the pool finds a block, the reward is split across the last N accepted shares in proportion to who submitted them. This smooths out luck variance without exposing the pool operator to bad-luck risk.
1.0 PRL. Payouts run every 6 hours; balances below the floor roll over until cleared.
First share usually arrives within 10 seconds of starting your miner. First payout typically lands within 24–48 hours of starting if you have meaningful hashrate. Smaller miners may take longer to accumulate the 1.0 PRL minimum.
The pool is brand-new (we launched 2026-05-14). Hashrate displays go live once we have enough share data to compute a stable estimate — usually within the first hour after launch.
The pool server is internal for now. The Pearl protocol itself is fully open-source. The integration spec for connecting a custom miner will be published once stable.
