Overcoming Complexities while Building the AI Agent App Store
Aleksandr Kuperman

As Crypto + AI converges, Pearl provides the means for users to own their AI agents. Serving projects focused on DeFi, influencers, prediction markets, agents are rewarded for hitting on-chain KPIs, via Olas’ staking mechanism, Proof of Active Agent (PoAA). With web2-like UX, Pearl abstracts complexities of crypto like bridging, wallet management and on-ramping whilst maintaining self-custody.
