pearlchain.live (block explorer) and Pearl Wallet

Last updated: 2026-05-29

1. Summary
   pearlchain.live is a community-built block explorer for the Pearl network. Pearl Wallet is its self-custodial companion, available as an Android app a Chrome and Firefox browser extension. All three are built on the premise that your data should stay on your device.

We don't require an account. We don't run analytics. We don't place advertising or third-party trackers. We never see or store your seed phrase, password or private keys.

1. What the explorer collects
   When you load pages on pearlchain.live, our servers receive the standard information that any HTTPS connection produces:

your IP address and User-Agent (used only to serve the request and to discard abusive traffic),
the URL you requested,
the time of the request.
We don't place cookies. We don't store query logs beyond what our hosting provider keeps for operational safety (rotating window, typically a few days). We don't share these records with anyone.

1. What the wallet collects
   Pearl Wallet — all the Android app and the Chrome +Firefox extension — runs entirely on your device. We do not operate any servers that "the wallet" talks to under that name. When you use either:

Your 12-word recovery phrase is generated on-device using the platform's cryptographically secure RNG. It is encrypted with the password you choose using AES-256-GCM (PBKDF2-derived key). The phrase and password never leave your device.
Where the encrypted vault is stored: on Android, in the operating-system keychain (Android Keystore). In the Chrome extension, in the extension's sandboxed chrome.storage.local, which is isolated from web pages; the unlocked session is held only in memory and is cleared by the auto-lock timer.
For balance, transaction history, fee suggestions and broadcasting, the wallet makes HTTPS requests to the explorer URL configured in Settings (defaults to pearlchain.live). Only your public address and signed transactions are sent. You can point this at any compatible deployment (e.g. a Blockbook v2 indexer).
The Chrome extension requests only the storage and alarms permissions, plus network access to your chosen explorer host. It injects no scripts into web pages, reads no browsing history, and accesses no other site data.
We don't use analytics SDKs. There is no telemetry, no crash reporting phoning home, no event tracking, no advertising identifiers.
4. Public blockchain data
Pearl transactions are recorded on a public blockchain. Once you broadcast a transaction, it is visible to anyone running a node, including amounts, sender and recipient addresses. This is a property of the network, not something we publish.

1. Children
   The explorer and wallet are not directed to people under the age of digital consent in their jurisdiction. We don't knowingly collect data from children — since we collect essentially nothing in the first place, there is nothing for us to remove.
2. Your rights
   Since we don't maintain accounts or personal-data records, there's nothing to request access to, correct, or delete. If you believe we hold data about you that you'd like clarified, contact us at the address below.
3. Changes
   We'll update this page if the data we handle changes. The version below reflects the last revision.
