How to track your mined Pearl on the block explorer
Pool dashboards lag, miners over-report, and neither one is your accountant. Here's how I check what actually landed at my address.
Every mining setup gives you two versions of the truth: what your dashboard says, and what's actually at your address. They usually agree. When they don't (a pool payout stuck “processing” for hours, a miner reporting hashrate the pool never saw), the chain settles the argument. Checking takes about thirty seconds on the explorer, and I'd get in the habit early.
Find your payout address
It's whatever you set as the reward target: in the miner config if you're solo, in your pool account settings otherwise. Any receiving address from your oyster wallet works. If you're not mining yet, start with the mining guide and come back.
Search it
The search bar takes an address, a transaction id, a block height, or a block hash. Paste your address and you're on your address page: live balance up top, full history under it. I keep mine bookmarked. Honestly, it's a better dashboard than most pool UIs.
What you’ll see
The shape of your history depends on how you mine. Pool income is lots of small, regular transfers from the pool's address; each pool has its own cadence and minimum payout. Solo income is the opposite: coinbase rewards of roughly 2,620 PRL, credited directly in blocks you found, with potentially long gaps between them. If you ever look at raw API data instead of the UI, amounts come back as integers in grains: 100,000,000 to the PRL, same scheme as satoshis.
Check the pool is doing its job
This is the part most miners skip. The blocks list shows who found every block and what it paid, and the pools page rolls up the last 24 hours by pool. If your pool claims it found ten blocks today, it's right there, or it isn't. A pool that consistently finds fewer blocks than its hashrate suggests is a pool you should ask questions about.
Watch it live
The explorer streams new blocks as they land, one every three minutes give or take. If you want to understand the headline numbers while you watch (difficulty, hashrate, mempool), Lena explains them all in how to read Pearl network stats.
A note on confirmations
A reward in the newest block is on-chain but shallow; every block after it buries it deeper and makes a reorg less likely. For incoming payments, a few confirmations (call it ten minutes on Pearl) is plenty.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check my Pearl mining rewards?
Search your payout address on explorer.mineaitokens.com. Balance and full history, straight off the chain.
How long until a reward appears?
Seconds after the block. The indexer doesn't wait around.
Why is my balance flat while pool mining?
The pool hasn't paid out yet; pools batch payouts on thresholds or schedules. Your accrued shares live on the pool dashboard until then.
What are grains?
Pearl's base unit: 100,000,000 grains per PRL. Same relationship as satoshis to Bitcoin.
