A live snapshot of the Pearl Proof-of-Useful-Work blockchain — every metric below is computed from a community-run full node and refreshed continuously. Read the explanations underneath each tile to understand what it tells you about the chain's health.
The block height is the number of blocks the chain has produced since its genesis block. It increases by one each time a miner finds a new block. At an average of one block every 50 seconds, the chain produces roughly 1,740 blocks per day. The height is the most fundamental "where are we" pointer for the chain.
Hashrate is the total computational power miners are throwing at the chain right now. Pearl is Proof-of-Useful-Work, so "hashes" here are LLM inference jobs — but the math is the same as any other PoW chain: hashrate ≈ difficulty × 2⁴⁸ ÷ avg_block_time. We compute the value from the last 60 blocks because too short a window is noisy and too long a window misses recent miner churn.
Difficulty is the target value blocks must hash below. It auto-adjusts via WTEMA (weighted-target exponential-moving-average) so block times stay near the protocol target regardless of how much hashrate enters or leaves. When more miners join, difficulty climbs; when miners drop, it falls.
Pearl targets ~50-second blocks. The current rolling average is computed over the last 60 blocks. Sustained deviations from the target (10s+ over or under) usually signal a hashrate change that the difficulty hasn't fully absorbed yet.
The mempool is the queue of transactions waiting to be mined into the next block. A growing mempool means transaction demand is exceeding block capacity (and fees should rise). A small or zero mempool — like Pearl usually has today — means there's plenty of block space.
The number of full nodes our gateway is directly connected to. Pearl uses gossip-style P2P propagation, so even a small number of direct peers is enough to receive every new block and broadcast our own. We also track every node we've ever discovered through addrman — visible on the dashboard's world map.
Total PEARL minted to date. The chain's max supply is 2.1B PEARL, distributed via a Bitcoin-style halving curve. Currently 6.1646% has been emitted. The block reward halves every set number of blocks, so emission drops geometrically over decades.
