Releases, research and the evidence, each story dated and sourced. Corrected when wrong; when events overtake a story, it says so at the top.
A roadmap entry isn’t a listing. The lasting lesson is the ticker: on exchanges, native Pearl is PEARL, and PRL usually means something else.
Nearly six months after genesis, the software is hardening fast. The number that would prove the thesis still isn’t published.
Every node operator was told to upgrade, miners and pools first. Wallet users get one important habit change.
The work would move onto the number format GPUs actually run AI in. For now, mainnet still runs the integer scheme.
The software is moving. The decisive adoption metric remains the verified share of work serving real AI demand.
Upgrade coordination matters more than the version number: nodes, wallets, miners and pools must agree on the active rules.
Low proof overhead is necessary for useful-mining economics, but it doesn’t measure outside demand or the useful share.
The study attacks an adoption claim, not the existence of valid matrix-multiplication proofs. That distinction is essential.
The upside depends on proof overhead and the token-to-inference ratio. The model doesn’t say every proof-of-useful-work network reaches the favorable regime.
A real partner integration and a direct test of the dual-output thesis. Lasting usage and economics are the next proof points.
