☴ Olas Agents Went Standard
Naming has been standardized across the Pearl app, Predict economy, Olas' registry (begun in 2022) & the ERC-8004 scanner.
This makes it easier for both users and agents to locate, track, and verify agents - whether browsing via @8004_scan or checking wallet activity.
☴ Own Unlimited Agents via Pearl
One agent was never enough. It is now possible to run as many agents as desired - each with its own strategy, wallet, and stake. All while you sleep or touch grass.
You can also compare performance across agents and compound activity within a single environment.
☴ Own Agents Everywhere: Linux support added
Pearl is now fully cross-platform. Olas agents join the select community of products that can run seamlessly on all of:
- MacOS
- Windows
- Linux 🎉
☴ Agents Now Fix Your Agents
Pearl Success Agent has been introduced to Pearl, the AI agent app store.
This brings a new level of intelligent, responsive assistance and improves both user experience and customer support autonomously, in real time.
☴ Auto-Run is Here
Managing multiple agents is now seamless.
With the new auto-run feature, agents operate sequentially without requiring manual starting and stopping.
This feature aims to ensure you can have many agents working for you without having to babysit them.
☴ Agents Passed the Baton: legacy Mech Agents retired
Olas has retired the legacy Mech agents that proved that agent-to-agent, crypto-native, API-free micropayments were possible as early as 2023.
But, don't worry, you and your agents can still hire other agents via the Marketplace.
