¶ Pearl is a mathematical breakthrough that redefines the unit economics of AI.

The real currency is not money. It's energy and data - the two scarce resources whose fusion creates intelligence. We believe that this dramatic shift in the production of knowledge compels us to rethink the fundamental properties, purpose, and creation process of money.

Today, the Pearl Protocol relies on INT-based matrix multiplication, which requires model quantization. To eliminate this overhead, we are developing our next-generation Proof of Useful Work to natively support floating-point computations. Launching soon, the initial release will support FP8, with FP4 to follow.

Since Bitcoin, a major open problem in distributed systems was whether proof-of-work consensus can be implemented on top of real-world computation rather than useless random hashing. This challenge of PoUW was repeatedly conjectured impossible by researchers and thought leaders. They were wrong.

Proof of work has always demanded a brutal trade-off - to secure a monetary network, you burn energy on the scale of entire countries. Meanwhile, hundreds of billions poured into AI - all for one operation at massive scale - matrix multiplication. For years, these energy markets were disjoint. It was commonly believed that proof of work could never be implemented on top of real-world instances. They were wrong. The same matrix multiplication that powers AI can secure a monetary network as a by-product - every GPU cycle doing double duty. A currency backed by the most valuable computation on earth.

Congrats to our partners Together AI on their $800M Series C fundraising round. Few teams have done more to make open models fast, accessible, and production-ready. We’re excited to keep working with Vipul Ved Prakash and the team on the next frontier of inference: lower costs, better performance, and open models at real scale.

Proof-of-Useful-Work proposes that the same GPU computation used for AI workloads can also secure a blockchain network. But that immediately triggers an economic objection - if miners are already getting paid for running AI jobs, does the security of the network collapse? Rafael Pass breaks it down and shows why this critique doesn’t hold up. Worth watching 👇
