Our Mission
Olas is the platform that enables true co-ownership of AI. Launched in 2021 as one of the first Crypto x AI projects, today, Olas powers the largest AI agent economies with millions of transactions. Learn more at olas.network.
Products
With Olas’ Pearl, the first “AI Agent App Store”, any consumer with a laptop can use AI agents they truly own. With Olas’ Mech Marketplace, the “AI Agent Bazaar”, businesses can put their AI agent up for hire to earn crypto and tap into other AI agents’ services. Today, Olas’ AI Agents serve diverse use cases - from prediction markets and asset management to influencer agents - autonomously creating valuable outcomes. The OLAS utility token provides access to the platform’s benefits and coordinates agent interactions in entire AI Agent economies.
Team
Valory is the team you’d be joining, working on Olas (the open-source technology governed by the Olas DAO). Valory is VC-backed team of engineers, researchers and commercial executors that raised its own successful Seed round and co-created Olas, executing a successful public token launch and subsequent $13.8m raise for the Olas DAO. We believe Artificial General Intelligence will likely be agentic and must be co-owned. Read more about our values.
