Welcome to Lord Of Pearls — the first independent PEARL explorer

The PEARL network has been live since spring 2026, but until now there hasn't been a third-party explorer purpose-built for it. Lord Of Pearls is that explorer — community-run, free, fast, independent of the official tooling, and packed with views the official explorer doesn't have. It runs on a single full node, refreshes every five seconds, exposes everything a miner, holder, trader or curious onlooker would want to know, and keeps every page on its own site without bouncing you out for the basics.

This page is a tour of every feature, with the URLs and entry points. If you came here to explore, the homepage at lordofpearls.xyz is where to go — but read on for what you can actually do once you're there.

Live network state

The hero strip at the top of the dashboard shows the chain at a glance. Six metrics, all refreshed every five seconds, all with up/down delta arrows so you can see direction:

• Block height — the current chain tip plus how many blocks we've added in the last interval.
• Network hashrate — estimated from difficulty and recent block time.
• Difficulty — current WTEMA target.
• Average block time — over the last 60 blocks.
• Mempool — pending transactions waiting to be mined.
• Peer count — geo-located nodes our full node is connected to.

Below that, a circulating-supply card shows total PEARL minted to date and the percentage of the 2.1 billion max. A live progress bar tracks the chain's emission curve.

Wallet drill-down — the killer feature

Click any prl1… address anywhere on the site (top miners, top holders, recent blocks, orphan attribution, transaction inputs/outputs) and you land on a dedicated page for that wallet at /?wallet=<addr>. Each wallet page shows nine live stats:

• Current balance — pulled live from Blockbook through our cached proxy, so you don't have to leave the site.
• Total received — lifetime cumulative incoming PEARL.
• Total sent — lifetime cumulative outgoing.
• Transactions — total tx count.
• Blocks mined (all-time) — from a full chain-walk.
• Orphans lost — blocks this wallet mined that lost a chain race.
• PEARL lost to orphans — cumulative reward they didn't get.
• Miner rank — position in the all-time miner leaderboard out of every miner ever.
• Holder rank — position in the rich list.

Below the stats, three collapsible sections drill deeper:

• 📜 Transaction history — every transaction the wallet has ever participated in, paginated. Each row shows height, age, type (Coinbase / Received / Sent / Internal), amount, and a link to a detailed transaction page on our own site.
• 🚨 Orphans lost by this wallet — every orphan block this miner produced, with height, age, lost reward, and a link to the block details.
• ⛏ Recent blocks mined — the last ~2,500 main-chain blocks this wallet won, locally tracked.

The wallet page is what powers the whole "drill into anything, see everything" experience. Every wallet link in the dashboard takes you here.

Block detail pages

Click any block hash and you get /?block=<hash> — a per-block view with height, hash, time, miner address (clickable), reward, transaction count, difficulty, prev/next navigation, and a paginated list of every transaction in the block. Each transaction's id is a link to its own detail page.

This works for orphan blocks too, even though most explorers can't show them. See the orphan section below for how.

Transaction detail pages

Click a transaction id from anywhere — the block view, the wallet history, a recent-blocks card — and you land on /?tx=<txid>. Each tx page shows type (Coinbase or transfer), block height, confirmations, age, total value, fees, size, and full Inputs and Outputs tables with linked addresses. Click an address in vin or vout and you're back on its wallet page.

Orphan blocks tracker — with miner attribution

Orphan blocks are blocks that were validly mined but lost a chain race. The official RPC won't tell you the miner of an orphan because the block isn't on the main chain. Most explorers just report the hash and shrug.

Lord Of Pearls solves this. We parse the raw block hex for every orphan, locate the coinbase transaction by its unique prevout signature, and recover the miner address and lost reward. As of writing, all 1,200+ historical orphans back to genesis have been attributed. New orphans get attributed in real-time within seconds of being detected.

The orphans card on the homepage shows total tracked, the most-affected miner with how many they've lost (clickable to drill into that wallet), and (when expanded) the last 15 orphan blocks with miner address, lost reward, and a link to each block's detail page.

Top leaderboards

• Top 10 holders — the rich list. Address, balance, % of supply, blocks mined.
• Top 10 miners (24h) — who mined the most blocks today.
• Top 10 miners (all-time) — who mined the most ever.

Every row links to its wallet page, so the leaderboards aren't just stats — they're entry points to deep-dive into anyone you find interesting.

Wealth distribution by tiers

Inspired by Kaspa's holder distribution table, we bucket every PEARL holder into one of ten ocean-creature tiers, sized for PEARL's economics. Each holder lands in exactly one tier (the buckets are non-cumulative, unlike many comparable charts). Counts sum to total holders:

• 🧜‍♂️ Aquaman — ≥ 1M PRL
• 🐋 Humpback — 100K–1M
• 🐳 Whale — 50K–100K
• 🦈 Shark — 10K–50K
• 🐬 Dolphin — 1K–10K
• 🐟 Fish — 100–1K
• 🐙 Octopus — 10–100
• 🦀 Crab — 1–10
• 🦐 Shrimp — 0.01–1
• 🦠 Plankton — < 0.01

Each tier shows live count, 24-hour change (▲ green or ▼ red), total PEARL held, and share of total supply. The 24h-change column is computed from hourly snapshots — it shows you when whales are accumulating or distributing in near-real-time.

Recent blocks card

A compact card next to the leaderboards showing the ten most recent main-chain blocks: height, age, miner, reward. Each miner is clickable, each block hash links to its detail page.

Network hashrate chart

A full-width SVG chart of network hashrate from genesis to now, sampled in 100-block windows. Shows you the long-term trajectory of mining capacity entering or leaving the network.

Connected peers — world map

An interactive Leaflet map at the bottom of the dashboard with every peer our full node sees, geo-located by IP. Hover over a marker to see the city + country. Gives you an honest picture of where Pearl is being run from.

Wallet search

The header has a search box. Type or paste a prl1… address and hit Enter — you go straight to that wallet's drill-down page. No need to scroll through a leaderboard or hunt.

Articles section

This page is part of a growing articles section. We publish guides, deep-dives and ecosystem updates regularly. If you want a structured way to learn about PEARL beyond the live data, that's where to look.

Tip jar

If the explorer is useful and you want to support it, the tip section has three currencies: PEARL (Pearl L1), Kaspa (Kaspa network), USDT (TRC20). Click any to reveal the address + QR code. Otherwise no obligation — the site is free and stays free.

Why an independent explorer matters

A blockchain that depends on a single explorer has a single point of failure for transparency. If the official node has an outage, or filters certain addresses, users have nowhere else to look. By running our own node and serving derived stats, we give the community a second source of truth — and one that exposes data the official tooling doesn't, like cumulative orphan counts per miner, recovered miner attribution for historical orphans, and per-tier wealth distribution.
