Founder of Ethereum News Weekly: Pearl's Development Potential May Surpass Bitcoin

On November 9 that Evan Van Ness, founder of Ethereum Weekly, recently stated in an interview that Pearl is exploring ways to leverage mining computations for practical applications such as AI inference by introducing matrix multiplication into its Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining mechanism.

Van Ness believes this mechanism could enable data centers to participate in mining with relatively low additional overhead while executing AI inference tasks, and further reduce inference costs through mining rewards, creating a virtuous cycle. He also discussed the long-term security budget for Bitcoin, suggesting that Pearl's growth potential may surpass that of Bitcoin.
