Utila now supports Pearl (PRL), with full custody and transaction capabilities available across console, mobile, and API.

Pearl is a Layer 1 blockchain built by Pearl Research Labs, launched on mainnet in April 2026. It uses a consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Useful-Work, where the computation that secures the network is matrix multiplication, the same operation that underpins AI training and inference. Pearl retains Bitcoin's UTXO accounting model, giving it a familiar structure while introducing a new economic model tied to AI compute.

What's Live

With his release, teams can operate Pearl end to end on Utila:

• Pearl wallets: create and manage Pearl wallets alongside your other assets in the same workspace

• Receiving funds: generate addresses and receive PRL into any wallet

• Transaction policies: define and enforce policy rules on Pearl transfers, applying the same governance you use across every supported chain

• Sending transfers: initiate and approve Pearl transfers from console, mobile, and API

Pearl transfers run under the same policy and approval controls as the rest of your assets, with no separate workflow to configure or maintain.

Why It Matters

Pearl is a UTXO based chain, which uses a different accounting model from the account based chains that make up most institutional wallet integrations. Bringing Pearl into Utila means teams can operate it through the same interfaces, controls, and workflows they already use for every other chain.

For teams already operating on Utila, the practical result is that Pearl behaves like any other asset. Same approval flows, same transaction policies, same audit trail, same coverage across console, mobile, and API.

Who Benefits

• Treasury and operations teams holding or moving PRL can do so without a separate wallet stack or process

• Compliance and security teams get consistent policy enforcement, approval controls, and auditability across Pearl and every other chain

• Developers and integrators can work with Pearl through the same API and SDKs used across the platform, with no separate integration path

Full Parity Across Surfaces

Console, mobile, and API all support the full Pearl flow, including creating wallets, receiving funds, enforcing policies, and initiating and approving transfers. Teams operating in the field can manage Pearl from mobile the same way they would from the console.

"Pearl starts with a simple conviction: the computation powering the future of intelligence should also power the future of money. The same GPUs, doing the same useful work, can train models, generate answers, and secure a monetary network at once. That creates a powerful economic loop: AI produces useful work, useful work secures the network, and the network rewards the compute behind AI. Our ambition is to make that loop available to every GPU on earth - and change the economics of intelligence itself."
