Olas Launches Pearl v1, a Decentralized App Store for User-Owned AI Agents

The desktop marketplace blends Web2-style logins with on-chain transparency to shift control to users.

Overview

  • Pearl v1 is live as a desktop app that lets individuals fund, deploy, and manage autonomous agents under self-custody.
  • Olas says every agent action is verifiable on-chain, aiming to provide transparency and user control absent from centralized AI platforms.
  • Onboarding supports Google or Apple logins and fiat funding via partners like Web3Auth and Transak, with wallets powered by Safe smart accounts.
  • The launch lineup features Optimus, an adaptive portfolio manager, and a Prediction Agent that trades on decentralized forecasting markets.
  • Olas announced a $1 million Accelerator to grow the agent catalog after an 18‑month beta it says logged millions of on-chain transactions and a DeFi agent with about 150% ROI.
