PearlVolt is a CUDA-native miner for the Pearl network — where hashpower powers verifiable useful compute, not wasted energy. Auto-tuned kernels, 3% dev fee, live telemetry out of the box.
Pearl is the only L1 where mining hashpower runs verifiable useful compute. Every block's proof commits to real computation that anyone can independently verify — no trusted hardware, no hand-waving.
Your GPU executes the PearlHash kernel — a real computation with a verifiable output, not just a SHA-256 preimage hunt.
→The block's proof is verified by every node using zk-powered validation. Invalid proofs are rejected instantly. The work is real or the block doesn't exist.
→Valid blocks earn 2.5 PRL. The pool distributes rewards via PPLNS — your share of the work, transparently accounted, paid every 2 hours.
Everything you'd hand-roll for a serious rig — kernel auto-tuning, failover, per-GPU control, a metrics endpoint — shipped in one static binary with no runtime dependencies.
Kernels re-tune per architecture at launch — occupancy, register pressure and memory clocks profiled live, so a 5090 and a 3090 each run their own optimum without config.
A flat 3% fee, mined transparently and logged. No hidden second wallet, no fee spikes. Verify it in the telemetry stream at any time.
Define a pool list; PearlVolt fails over on stratum drop in under a second and auto-restarts a hung GPU instead of taking the whole rig down.
A local :4141/metrics Prometheus endpoint plus JSON socket — hashrate, shares, temps and power, ready for Grafana or your own dashboard on day one.
Encrypted stratum connections via --tls. Your wallet address and share data never travel in cleartext. Compatible with all standard stratum proxies.
Pool-side vardiff adjusts your share difficulty every 30s based on hashrate. No stale shares from too-hard targets, no spam from too-easy ones.
Measured on stock power limits, ambient 24°C, PearlVolt v1.0.0. Efficiency is the number that pays your power bill.
| GPU · miner | Hashrate | Power | Efficiency | Est. daily PRL | Dev fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 5090 · PearlVolt | 390 TH/s | 500 W | 780 GH/W | — | 3% |
| RTX 4090 · PearlVolt | 257 TH/s | 350 W | 734 GH/W | — | 3% |
| RTX 3090 · PearlVolt | 120 TH/s | 300 W | 400 GH/W | — | 3% |
Enter your hashrate to estimate daily, weekly, and monthly PRL earnings. Calculated against live network hashrate from the Pearl node.
Low-latency PPLNS with transparent payouts, a public API, and stratum endpoints. Point the miner at it in one line.
Static compile — no CUDA toolkit, no Python, no DLLs. Download, verify the SHA-256, run.
One static download. No CUDA toolkit install, no Python, no dependencies.
Paste your PRL address and a stratum endpoint. That's the whole config.
Open localhost:4141 for live telemetry as shares land.
PearlHash is Pearl's proof-of-useful-work algorithm. Unlike SHA-256 (Bitcoin) or Ethash (Ethereum), PearlHash commits to verifiable useful computation — the hashpower does real work that can be independently verified by any node. No trusted hardware required.
PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) pays miners based on their share of the last N=10,000 shares submitted to the pool when a block is found. This discourages pool-hopping — you're paid for your actual contribution, not just for being online at the right time. N=10,000 means roughly the last ~2 hours of shares count toward each block reward.
0.10 PRL. Payouts run automatically every 2 hours. If your unpaid balance is below 0.10 PRL, it rolls over to the next payout cycle. No manual withdrawal needed — everything is automatic.
No. PearlVolt uses anonymous mining — your wallet address IS your account. Point the miner at the pool with your PRL address and you're mining. No email, no password, no KYC.
Pool fee: 0.9% (PPLNS). Miner dev fee: 3%. Total: 3.9% from gross earnings. No hidden fees, no withdrawal fees, no minimum-balance penalties. The dev fee is transparently logged in the telemetry stream — verify it yourself.
Any NVIDIA GPU with CUDA compute capability 7.0+. Tuned kernels for RTX 5090 (sm_120), RTX 4090 (sm_89), RTX 3090 (sm_86), A100 (sm_80), and H100 (sm_90). Other GPUs work but may not be optimally tuned. AMD support is not planned.
Yes. Add --tls to your miner command to encrypt the stratum connection. Your wallet address and share data are transmitted over TLS, preventing ISP interception or manipulation.
Bitcoin mining wastes exajoules of energy on meaningless hashes. Pearl mining does useful computation — the proof commits to real work that can be verified independently. Same hardware, same mining model, but the energy isn't wasted. Plus Pearl has ~60s block times and 2.5 PRL rewards vs Bitcoin's 10min/3.125 BTC.
Free, open telemetry, 3% dev fee. Mine on the network where the work isn't wasted.
