Our miner is ~3× faster than what the other pools ship, and we charge the lowest fee on the network — 5% PPLNS / 5% solo, vs the 20% charged by other Pearl pools. Works on every NVIDIA card with tensor cores — Volta (V100, CMP 100-210), Ampere (RTX 30 + A100), Ada (RTX 40 + L4/L40), Blackwell (RTX 50 + B100/B200), and Hopper (H100/H200). Operated by AlphaPool, the team behind Quai, XMR, Zano, and DOGE pools.
Real-world numbers from operator rigs running our alpha-miner against pearl.alphapool.tech. For comparison, the same RTX 3060 Ti benchmarks at ~10 TH/s on competing pool kernels — so what you see below is roughly 3× the throughput on the same hardware. Numbers will keep landing as more cards report in.
Hashrate may vary ±10% based on cooling, power limit, driver version, and host CPU. We'd rather you verify than trust us — point a card at the pool, watch the numbers, compare. More cards (3060, 3080, A100, L4, L40, H100, B100, datacenter Ampere) will be added as data comes in.

Three commands. ~30 seconds. No signup, no whitelist, no KYC.
Install the Pearl wallet and generate an address starting with prl1p…. Save your seed phrase offline. This is where your payouts go.
One curl + one ./alpha-miner command. Linux x86_64, every NVIDIA tensor-core GPU from Volta to Blackwell, including Hopper (V100, RTX 30/40/50, A100, L4/L40, H100/H200, B100/B200, CMP 100-210). Auto-detects all your GPUs.
First share in ~10 seconds. PPLNS payouts every 6 hours, 1.0 PRL minimum. Track live on the Dashboard by pasting your address.
Pick the endpoint closest to you for lowest share latency. All forward to the same backend in US East — your shares are credited identically regardless of which proxy you use.
North America: pearl.alphapool.tech:5566 (pooled) / :5567 (solo) — direct to US East master.
Europe: eu1.alphapool.tech:5566 (pooled) / :5567 (solo) — OVH Roubaix proxy.
Asia: sg1.alphapool.tech:5566 (pooled) / :5567 (solo) — OVH Singapore proxy.
:5566 = pooled PPLNS, smooth 5% fee payouts. Right for <100 GH/s rigs.
:5567 = solo, whole block reward minus 5% solo fee when you win. Right for big rigs that want lottery dynamics.

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.
Supported by the current alpha-miner binary: Volta (V100, Titan V, CMP 100-210), Ampere (RTX 30-series, A100), Ada (RTX 40-series, L4/L40), Hopper (H100, H200), Blackwell (RTX 50-series, B100/B200). The miner uses ~2-3 GB of VRAM and auto-detects all CUDA devices.
Coming soon: Turing (RTX 20-series, T4, CMP 30HX/40HX/50HX/90HX) — kernels pending from upstream. Pre-Volta (Pascal GTX 10-series and older) lacks tensor cores and is permanently unsupported. CPU mining is not supported.
Yes — pull our Docker image and pass your address as an env var. See the Docker / RunPod / vast.ai tab for the full command. The image (alphaminetech/pearl-miner) bundles the alpha-miner binary on top of nvidia/cuda:12.4.1-runtime, so it works on any host with Docker + the NVIDIA container toolkit. For RunPod specifically: create a Custom Template, set the image to alphaminetech/pearl-miner, leave Container Start Command empty, and add PEARL_ADDRESS + PEARL_WORKER as environment variables.
If you're running cloud arbitrage (renting cheap GPU-hours below their PRL/USD payout value), set PEARL_DIFFICULTY to skip the vardiff ramp-up time — instant steady-state share rate.
The pool runs an automatic VarDiff loop that retunes your difficulty to ~1 share per 10 seconds per worker. The x;d=N static-diff override follows the open StratumX convention used by many other pools — if you've used it elsewhere, it works the same here. VarDiff works well for most setups, but a few cases benefit from pinning a static difficulty in your password field:
Format: --password "x;d=65536". Pick a value from the table in the Static difficulty tab. Wrong picks aren't dangerous — slightly bumpier stats, no lost shares.
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.
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.
