How Alprina Built a Multi-Agent AI System on a Startup Budget with Olas
Alprina, an AI-powered prediction platform for financial markets, achieved what seemed difficult: launching a multi-agent AI system on a startup budget. Leveraging the Olas ecosystem, Alprina tapped into a thriving builder community and its’ developer rewards program, enabling them to create a cutting-edge financial prediction platform on a budget.
This is the story of how Olas helped make it all happen—connecting visionaries with skilled developers and paving the way for autonomous AI-driven innovation.

About Olas
Olas is the network for co-owning AI. Olas enables everyone to own a share of AI, specifically autonomous agents. One of the first Crypto x AI projects, founded in 2021, Olas offers the composable Olas Stack for developing autonomous AI agents, and the Olas Protocol for incentivizing their creation and co-ownership. Olas' mission is to incentivize and coordinate different parties to launch autonomous agents that form entire AI economies serving all humans. Olas is giving rise to agent economies across major blockchains. Check the Olas website to see how many hundreds of thousands of transactions have been made. Learn more at olas.network.
Challenge
Alprina’s vision was to create a financial prediction platform driven by autonomous AI agents capable of sourcing and analyzing market data, predicting outcomes, and providing actionable insights. However, turning this vision into reality posed two major challenges:
- Budget Constraints: As a startup, Alprina had limited resources to invest in high-cost development.
- Developer Shortage: Finding skilled developers familiar with building and scaling autonomous agents was a hurdle.
Solution
The Alprina team learned about the success of Olas Predict, a product from the Gnosis team with Olas, that facilitated over 800,000 transactions in its first year. Olas Predict, an agent economy powered by autonomous AI agents, achieves over 79% accuracy in predicting future events. With Olas agents being fully composable and interoperable, Olas Predict provided a strong foundation to build Alprina’s ideal product.
To bring their vision to life, Alprina needed an agent developer familiar with Olas agents and the Olas Predict agent economy. Fortunately, the growing Olas developer community offered a pool of skilled professionals, and Alprina was connected with a suitable developer.
Additionally, Olas’s Developer Rewards Program provided much-needed support. This program incentivizes contributions to the Olas protocol, such as agents or components, with Developer Rewards. Thanks to this, Alprina, working within a tight budget, was able to compensate their developer and turn their product into a reality.
Alprina successfully launched its product with the help of an Olas community builder. The developer earned Olas protocol builder incentives for their work in developing the AI agent system.
“As the founder of Alprina, an AI agent designed to predict stock movements, I chose Olas for its robust decentralized infrastructure. Olas's open-source framework and multi-chain protocol offer the flexibility and scalability essential for developing sophisticated agent economies. By leveraging Olas, we seamlessly integrate off-chain AI services with on-chain security, fostering innovation in a co-owned and decentralized environment. - Josh Wagenbach, Co-founder, Alprina”
