This page covers business enquiries — exchange listings, market making, marketing, technical integrations, enterprise compute, and press. Please read it before writing to us; it will save you time.
Where we're open: enterprise inference, technical integrations, research, and press. Where we're not: exchange listings, market making, and marketing services.
Exchange listings
We are not currently evaluating new exchange listings.
We receive a high volume of listing proposals and we're not able to reply to them individually. If our position changes, we'll announce it on @prlnet and in our Discord — there's no advantage to being early in our inbox.
To be clear about what this means:
- We won't pay listing fees, and we don't respond to fee-based listing offers.
- We don't have a listings pipeline you can be added to.
- Following up repeatedly won't change the outcome.
Market making
We are not onboarding market makers. The same applies as above — we'll announce it if that changes.
Marketing, influencer, and growth services
We don't accept unsolicited marketing proposals, including influencer campaigns, paid community growth, engagement services, or promotional packages. We won't reply to these.
Technical integrations and partnerships
This one we do want to hear about — if it's genuinely technical.
Pearl is open source under the ISC licence, and the full node, wallet, SPV client, and miner are all public at github.com/pearl-research-labs/pearl. You don't need our permission to build on Pearl. Start there.
If you're building something substantial and a conversation would help, the best route is to show us working code or a concrete technical proposal. Reach out in our Discord where the engineering community is, rather than by cold email.
One standing note for anyone building mining tools: we don't amplify external mining software before a thorough technical review. See Third-party mining software: why we don't endorse it.
Enterprise compute and inference
The Pearl Inference Platform is currently in closed beta. If you're interested in Pearl for enterprise inference workloads, join the waitlist at pearlresearch.ai/waitlist and we'll be in touch as we open access.
One thing worth knowing upfront, because it determines whether we're a fit: Pearl serves open-source models. Our mining scheme works by instrumenting the matrix multiplications inside a model's forward pass, which requires access to the weights. We publish Pearl-certified variants of open-weight models.
If your workload runs on open-source models, the economics are the entire point of Pearl and we'd like to talk.
Research collaboration
Pearl came out of research and we're active in it. Open problems in mathematics, cryptography, and consensus are published at pearlpolymath.com, and our published work is at pearlresearch.ai/research.
Academic and research enquiries are read.
Press and media
Open a support ticket and set the Category to Partnerships & listings. Include your outlet, your deadline, and what you're working on.
How to reach us
For press, media, and any business partnership not covered above: open a ticket through this help center and choose the Business & Partnerships category. That routes it to the right people directly.
