Abakos is a compute network with a Bitcoin-style base layer. GPUs do real AI work for paying customers — and only that work earns full protocol rewards.
Pearl (PRL) runs matrix-multiplication mining at ~320,000 GPU-equivalents and ~112 MW. An independent study (arXiv 2606.04819) measured zero useful AI output — miners grind random matrices because the protocol only checks correctness, not purpose.

useful compute on the largest deployed PoUW network today.
Block reward = base × (25% + 75% × useful_ratio). Only work tied to a paid escrow job counts toward useful_ratio. Empty mining stays possible for security — but earns a fraction.
Buyers lock USDC/USDT. Miners deliver output + proof. Settlement is atomic. We don't issue our own stablecoin — we use existing ones.
Built on battle-tested Bitcoin/btcd consensus with matrix-multiplication proof-of-work (NoisyGEMM + ZK verify). Multi-vendor: NVIDIA + AMD, BF16/FP8 standard paths.
Public KPI: % verified-useful compute — live in the explorer at testnet. Our proof against empty mining.

ABK launches at mainnet — after audit. It rewards GPUs, offers optional payment discounts, and funds ecosystem grants. Team and treasury allocations are vested transparently.
We don't publish price targets or presales on this site. Read economics in the whitepaper.
• Hard cap: 2.1B ABK (Bitcoin-style halving)
• Empty-mining penalty: up to 75% of block reward burned
• 1% of marketplace fees burned on real volume
Protocol code is in active development. Mainnet follows a public testnet and third-party security audit — we won't put real funds on unaudited code.
