Core Concepts
- OLAS Staking and Rewards
To run an agent, you need to stake a pre-defined amount of OLAS. When the AI agent achieves its KPI for the epoch (e.g. ~24 hours), it earns staking rewards in OLAS. This process allows for regular reward accumulation for each AI agent. - Staking contract
Each AI agent needs OLAS staked to run. The staking contract sets how much OLAS is needed and what rewards the agent gets for hitting its goals. - Agent Activity
Through Pearl (AI Agent App Store) and Quickstart, you can monitor your AI agent's real-time actions. - AgentUI
The Pearl AgentUI allows you to monitor your agent's performance and activity. You can also engage with your agent via a chat interface to guide its strategy and direction (not universally available for all AI agents).
Similarly, on Quickstart, you can monitor your agent's performance and configure it through the Quickstart scripts.

Why does my agent require funds?
Your agent requires funds for two main purposes:
Your agent requires funds for two main purposes:
- Staking OLAS tokens: These tokens are required to stake and run the agent.
- Covering task-specific costs: This includes funds for the agent's unique goals and activities. For example, a Prediction agent would need xDAI to place bets in prediction markets and pay for gas.
Can I run an AI agent without using the Pearl app?
