Pearl is a Layer-1 blockchain that adopts a Proof of Useful Work (PoUW) mechanism, binding mining operations to GPU-native matrix multiplication. It allows miners to validate blocks while training or inferring AI models, earning both block rewards and inference fees from the same compute. The protocol perturbs inputs with noise matrices and generates verifiable proofs, ensuring computation is genuine and non-cheatable. Its core value lies in turning AI compute from a pure cost into a liquid asset, and providing auditable, verifiable computation traces for AI systems.

About Pearl
Positive: 1. Mainnet launched on Apr 27, with PoUW enabling GPU mining while supporting AI workloads. 2. A wallet allegedly linked to a16z accumulated $1.5M PRL on May 27, sparking a 150% price surge in two days. 3. Partnership with Together AI launched a discounted inference endpoint, with mining emissions subsidizing costs.
Negative: 1. PoUW only supports integer matrix multiplication, incompatible with low-precision floating-point AI training, limiting real utility. 2. High mining costs: official rental packages yield PRL at $1.33–1.77, near market price, squeezing margins. 3. Early-stage volatility and thin liquidity amplify dump risk.
