David Minarsch, CEO of Valory and Founding Member of Olas, speaking about Pearl with Ethereum founder, Vitalik Buterin, in attendance.
Olas, the market leader in autonomous AI agent technology, is changing how people interact with artificial intelligence through Pearl. Pearl is a user-friendly desktop application that enables anyone to run their own AI agents with just a single click, requiring no technical expertise. The platform, developed by Olas core-contributor Valory, has established itself as the most active AI agent system in crypto, with a clear focus on accessibility and practical application.
Not only that, Pearl is already attracting interest from key figures. At Devcon Bangkok, Pearl drew attention from key industry figures, including Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, who attended the presentation. This industry recognition underscores Pearl’s role in advancing autonomous AI agent technology.
Breaking Down Technical Barriers
Pearl eliminates traditional obstacles to running AI agents. Users need only a laptop to get started – no coding skills or technical background required. The process is straightforward: download the app, stake OLAS tokens, and run your agent in one click of a button.
David Minarsch, CEO of Valory and Founding Member of Olas, explains: “Pearl is easy to run and understand. It aims to provide a straightforward, beneficial experience powered by crypto without requiring users to grasp all the technical details.”
Platform Updates and Growth
Pearl’s recent updates have significantly enhanced user engagement. The platform now features a streak tracking system that rewards consistent participation, allowing users to monitor their daily engagement – a feature designed to incentivize users to keep their agents running daily. Additionally, the new agent activity dashboard provides detailed insights into agent performance and transactions, giving users clear visibility into their agents’ operations.
A key new addition is the simplified withdrawal feature, accessible through a single button under the “See breakdown” menu. If you’ve been waiting to try Pearl but wanted an easy way to withdraw first, this update makes it more straightforward than ever, complete with helpful information to guide you through the process.
The numbers validate Pearl’s approach. With over 2 million transactions completed on the Gnosis chain, Pearl’s agents demonstrate consistent real-world utility. These agents don’t just interact with blockchain protocols – they can also transact with each other. With over 1 million agent-to-agent transactions completed in a single year, Pearl has proven its leadership in the autonomous agent space, demonstrating a mature and well-established ecosystem.
Looking Forward
Next month, Pearl will introduce new agent options, expanding the platform’s functionality. These updates complement the existing Olas Predict system, where agents handle market predictions and data analysis tasks autonomously.
Pearl’s easy approach to running AI agents opens new possibilities for individuals who previously found AI technology out of reach. The platform maintains a balance between sophisticated technology and true autonomy – once launched, these agents work independently without requiring any human supervision, making AI agent ownership accessible to everyone.
For those who want to run their own AI agents, you can get started simply by downloading the Pearl app here: olas.network/operate.
About Olas
Olas is the platform for co-owning AI. Olas enables everyone to own a share of AI, specifically autonomous agents. One of the first Crypto x AI projects, founded in 2021, Olas offers the composable Olas Stack for developing autonomous AI agents, and the Olas Protocol for incentivizing their creation and co-ownership. Olas’ mission is to incentivize and coordinate different parties to launch autonomous agents that form entire AI economies serving all humans. Olas is giving rise to agent economies across major blockchains with over 2 million transactions to date. In Olas Predict, AI agents predict the future, using state-of-the-art AI models, then apply their predictions to on-chain markets. Learn more at olas.network.
