In the past few days, the community has been buzzing about the pearl mining of @prlnet, which essentially means "rent a full-powered 4090/5090 on a cloud computing platform, and you'll start earning coins." Toni's original words are the daily mining profit is over 50%, based on the current coin price of 1.3–1.4U, as long as you can rent a full 4090 for under 0.7U, you will make a profit.

This article breaks down the process to a foolproof level, and at the end, it includes a self-calculating earnings model; don't just follow the scripts, make sure to calculate clearly before diving in.

1. What is Pearl (Understand in 30 seconds)

• PoUW (Proof of Useful Work) L1 public chain: The miners' GPUs are not computing meaningless hashes but are performing matrix multiplications in AI inference/training, mining and real computing power are the same computation, with only about 10% additional overhead.

• Mainnet launched in April 2026, already partnered with Together AI (NVIDIA cloud partner), using token emissions to subsidize AI inference costs (Gemma-4-31B-it-pearl endpoint directly applies a 25% discount).

• No pre-mining, no founder shares, no VC, fair launch — this is its narrative's hardest point.

In one sentence: As the coin price rises, AI inference becomes cheaper, and more people mine it → this is a self-reinforcing flywheel.

2. Preparation Before Mining

You only need two things:

• A cloud computing account that can rent 4090/5090

• A Pearl wallet address

Renting platforms (choose one, beginners recommended RunPod, user-friendly interface):

• RunPod 👉 https://runpod.io?ref=4rltlnx9

• VastAI 👉 https://cloud.vast.ai/?ref_id=559971

3. Four Steps to Start Mining (Beginner Level)

Step 1｜Rent a Card Go to RunPod/VastAI, filter for RTX 4090 / 5090, ensure it's a "full-powered card" (full card, not shared slices). The rule for card selection: rent for 0.7 U/hour (this is the break-even point based on current coin prices, covered in the fourth section).

Step 2｜Generate Pearl Wallet Open 👉 http://compute.pearlresearch.ai/wallet, click to generate, make sure to write down the mnemonic offline, and copy your wallet address for backup.

Step 3｜Configure Mining Machine Open 👉 https://pearlhash.xyz/#config, fill in the wallet address from the previous step, and the page will generate a one-click start command/script, copy it. (The pearlhash pool fee is 3%, with a minimum withdrawal of 1 PRL, very low threshold.)

Step 4｜SSH into instance and start running

• In RunPod/VastAI, set up SSH keys for the instance and connect

• Paste and execute the command from step 3

• See the computing power reported and starting to yield coins → time to stop, just let it run

The mining machine is essentially the official vLLM miner (CUDA), once running, the GPU will yield PRL while providing AI inference computing power.

Withdraw and sell coins: After accumulating enough PRL, you can go OTC (otc.lordofpearls.xyz / pearl-otc.com/marketplace) or use cross-chain bridge pearlbridge.xyz for cashing out.

4. Cost / Earnings Calculation (Key, calculate carefully without getting carried away)

Don’t just believe "daily profit of 50%+", use the formulas yourself:

Core Formula

Daily net profit = Daily production of PRL per card × Coin price × (1 − 3% pool fee) − Rent/hour × 24

Simplest Judgement Method (Recommended) As long as it meets: The PRL value produced per hour per card > Hourly rent, you are making money. This is precisely where Toni said, "Renting for below 0.7U means you're earning," comes from — based on the current coin price, a 4090 produces approximately 0.7U or slightly more per hour.

Break-even Point (Example, data to be filled in based on the real-time pearlhash panel)

• Assuming rent = 0.6 U/hour → Daily cost = 0.6 × 24 = 14.4 U

• Assuming coin price = 1.3 U

• Then you need to produce at least: 14.4 ÷ (1.3 × 0.97) ≈ 11.4 PRL/day to break even

• Any production beyond this amount is pure profit

Two Leverage Points

• The lower the rent, the better: Focus on spot/bid instances, 0.4–0.5U 4090 has the largest profit margin

• Coin price is a double-edged sword: If it rises, profits double; if it falls below the rent line, you're immediately losing — this is why you need to check the accounts daily, don’t mindlessly hang around

5. Risk Warning (Must Read)

• Coin price volatility: Calculations are based on 1.3U; if the coin price halves, your profit becomes a loss, and early-stage tokens are highly volatile.

• Selling slippage: Currently, PRL mainly relies on OTC/bridges for cashing out, liquidity is limited, large sell orders face slippage and delayed transaction times.

• Renting cards burns money per second: If the instance is not fully utilized, configured incorrectly, or experiences network interruptions, mining won’t happen, but rent will still be charged.

• Early project uncertainty: Mainnet has just launched, partnerships and narratives are attractive, but this also means rules, output, and mining pools could be adjusted anytime.

Conclusion: This is not guaranteed profit; it’s "a person who knows how to calculate can earn while the arbitrage window exists." First, rent one card and run it for 24 hours, use real data to apply the formulas above to verify profits, then decide whether to leverage.
