PRL Live Production Cost
Live PRL trade prices selected by volume, plotted against production cost calculated from live chain hashrate and timestamped H100 market rates.
Live Price vs. Production Cost
The price line uses executed PRL trades from the selected live venue when historical candles or fills are available. The cost line is calculated from live network hashrate, observed block pace, live height, and timestamped H100 market rates.

reward_prl = 2.1B * 650226 / ((height + 650226) * (height - 1 + 650226))
blocks_per_hour = delta_height / delta_hours; live_partial = blended(recent_completed_pace, network_avg_block_time)
marketplace_cost_per_hour = monthly_h100_marketplace_rate(timestamp)
gpu_equivalent = network_hashrate_hps / scenario_hashrate_hps
cost_per_prl = (gpu_equivalent * marketplace_cost_per_hour) / (reward_prl * blocks_per_hour)
The lower, median, and upper bands all use the monthly H100 marketplace spot rate. The band captures H100 throughput sensitivity: 620 TH/s efficient, 550 TH/s median, and 500 TH/s conservative. Provider-class rate spreads are excluded because rational miners should use the lowest available rental market, while already-allocated compute is closer to sunk cost than marginal rental cost. Completed buckets use observed pace; the still-forming live bucket is smoothed with recent completed pace and Pearl node network average block time.
The production-cost series is calculated, not fetched as a market price. It uses live Pearl node chain hashrate/history plus a monthly H100 marketplace-rate table sourced from Silicon Data and Thunder Compute. Lord of Pearls is retained only as a temporary fallback for chain history, and a static marketplace GPU constant remains the fallback when a timestamp has no usable rate row.
