Mine Pearl on the GPUs you already own.

Our miner is ~3× faster than what the other pools ship, and we charge the lowest fee on the network5% PPLNS / 5% solo, vs the 20% charged by other Pearl pools. Works on every NVIDIA card with tensor cores — RTX 30/40/50, Hopper, datacenter Ampere/Ada/Blackwell. Operated by AlphaPool, the team behind Quai, XMR, Zano, and DOGE pools.

⚡ ~3× faster miner
More shares per watt
Our alpha-miner binary outperforms the reference Pearl miner and competing pool kernels on the same hardware. More hashrate per kWh = more PRL in your wallet.
💸 Lowest pool fee
5% · vs 20% elsewhere
PPLNS 5%, solo 5%. Other Pearl pools charge up to 20%. That's 15 percentage points more PRL going to you per block, every block, forever.

Get Started

Three commands. ~30 seconds. No signup, no whitelist, no KYC.

Step 1

Get a Pearl address

Install the Pearl wallet and generate an address starting with prl1p…. Save your seed phrase offline. This is where your payouts go.

Step 2

Run alpha-miner

One curl + one ./alpha-miner command. Linux x86_64, NVIDIA Ampere or newer (RTX 30/40/50, A100, L4/L40, H100, B100). Auto-detects all your GPUs.

Step 3

Watch payouts arrive

First share in ~10 seconds. PPLNS payouts every 6 hours, 1.0 PRL minimum. Track live on the Dashboard by pasting your address.

Before you start
If your rig already mines any GPU coin, the one-liner below just works. The binary is statically linked — its only runtime dependency is the NVIDIA driver (already present on any mining rig).
  • GPU: NVIDIA Ampere or newer (RTX 30/40/50, A100, L4/L40, H100, B100). Pre-Ampere cards (Volta V100, Turing RTX 20-series, CMP 100-210) need the source build for now — see Hardware support below.
  • OS: Linux x86_64, glibc 2.18+ (Ubuntu 14.04+, Debian 8+, RHEL 7+). Windows users: WSL2 works today; native .exe is on the way.
  • Driver: Any reasonably modern NVIDIA driver (R470+ for Ampere, R525+ for Ada, R550+ for Blackwell). Already installed on any mining rig.
  • Network: Outbound TCP to pearl.alphapool.tech:5566 (or :5567 for solo). No inbound ports needed.
  • VRAM: ~2 GB per GPU. ~36 MB disk for the binary.
Quickstart

Two pool endpoints:
pearl.alphapool.tech:5566pooled (PPLNS), smooth payouts, 5% pool fee. Right for <100 GH/s.
pearl.alphapool.tech:5567solo, you get the entire block reward (minus 5% solo fee) when you find one. Big rigs that want lottery dynamics.

# 1) Download the miner (~36 MB, Linux x86_64, Ampere/Ada/Blackwell/Hopper)
curl -L -o alpha-miner https://pearl.alphapool.tech/downloads/alpha-miner
chmod +x alpha-miner

# 2) Replace YOUR_PRL_ADDRESS with your prl1p... wallet address, then run
./alpha-miner \
  --pool stratum+tcp://pearl.alphapool.tech:5566 \
  --address prl1pYOUR_PRL_ADDRESS \

FAQ

Quick answers about Pearl mining and the AlphaPool setup.

What is Pearl?

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.

What GPUs does this pool support?

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.

What's the pool fee?

5% on pooled (PPLNS), 5% on solo. That's the lowest fee on the Pearl network — other pools charge up to 20%, so you keep an extra 15% of every block reward by mining here. Same fee on solo so big rigs choosing solo aren't penalized. Fees subsidize operating cost (US East server, 24/7 ops); any surplus goes to upstream protocol development.

How does PPLNS work here?

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.

What's the minimum payout?

1.0 PRL. Payouts run every 6 hours; balances below the floor roll over until cleared.

How long until I see my first payout?

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.

Why is the pool hashrate sometimes shown as "—"?

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.

Is the source code open?

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.

I have a question or issue — who do I talk to?
