Olas Launches Pearl v1, the First ‘AI Agent App Store’

Olas has launched Pearl v1, a decentralized “AI agent app store” that allows users to own and operate autonomous AI agents, blending the ease of Web2 with the self-sovereignty of Web3, the company said in a press release Tuesday.

Unlike centralized AI platforms that rent access to users, Pearl gives full control and transparency: every action of the agent is verifiable on the chain.

Users can start with familiar logins like Google or Apple, fund agents via card, and maintain full data custody.

Built on the principles of ownership, curation and transparency, Pearl offers a growing library of agents for financial, creative and social use cases. The launch follows a beta success story where Modius, a decentralized finance (DeFi) trading agent, earned over 150% return on investment (ROI) in 150 days.

“The centralized infrastructure has achieved an exercise and ​​global performance, but this concentration means that decisions or defects can strip users of their data and work completely. This is why ownership is so important,” said David Minarsch, founding member of Olas in the release.

“At Olas, we’re building towards a future where your AI agents work for you, not for centralized platforms that collect your data,” he added.

Olas sees Pearl as a shift from today’s AI consumption model to one of AI ownership, where users, not corporations, control the agents that act on their behalf.
