Olas Launches Pearl v1, a User-Owned AI Agent Marketplace

The desktop marketplace pairs familiar logins with self-custodial smart accounts so agent actions are verifiable on-chain.

Overview

  • Pearl v1 debuts as a decentralized marketplace where individuals deploy autonomous agents they fully own and control.
  • Users can sign in with Google or Apple and fund via cards, while assets reside in Safe-based self-custodial wallets with recovery via self-hosted backups or linked logins, using Web3Auth and Transak.
  • Olas says every agent action is recorded on-chain for public verification, and it cites an open-source, audited codebase for inspection.
  • The store launches with flagship agents including Optimus for adaptive portfolio management and a Prediction Agent for trading on decentralized forecasting platforms, spanning finance, social, and creative use cases.
  • Olas is backing ecosystem growth with a $1 million accelerator and reports beta results that include a Modius DeFi agent returning about 150% in roughly 150 days.
