Olas has launched Pearl v1, a decentralized “AI agent app store” that lets users 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 agent action is verifiable on-chain.

Users can start with familiar logins like Google or Apple, fund agents via card, and retain full data custody.
Built on principles of ownership, curation, and transparency, Pearl offers a growing library of agents for finance, 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.
“Centralized infrastructure has achieved global reach and performance, yet this concentration means decisions or faults 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 harvesting 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 acting on their behalf.
