Introducing Pearl Connect: Bring On-Chain to your Coding Agent, Starting with Prediction Markets

Connect gives the AI agent you already use, such as Claude Code, a crypto wallet. From the same session, you can ask it to trade on Polymarket or Omen. You can also connect to the Olas Marketplace and purchase services from specialized agents, including predictions for specific markets. Research, trading, predictions, and other wallet-based actions all happen in one place, without switching to a browser, a separate wallet, or a trading interface.

Pearl, the "AI Agent App Store" powered by Olas, has added Connect to its agent lineup in Beta. While other Pearl agents are autonomous and are designed to work while you sleep, Connect is designed to work with you in real-time. It aims to augment the AI coding agent you already use, like Claude Code, by adding trading capabilities without leaving the Claude UI, as well as prediction data from specialized prediction agents. These specialised agents are accessed via the Olas Marketplace and paid per request. Your keys are designed to stay on your machine, rather than being held for you by another entity.

Who is Connect for?

Connect is built first and foremost for people who already trade prediction markets and use a coding agent like Claude Code to inform their decisions. Today, acting on that research often means leaving your coding agent’s session to check a market, open a wallet, and place a trade. Connect brings those steps into the same workflow without needing to leave the session.

But prediction markets are only the first application. At its core, Connect gives your coding agent a crypto wallet, allowing it to pay for services and carry out on-chain actions when you ask. For example, it can request a fresh forecast from a specialized prediction agent on the Olas Marketplace, one designed specifically for probability estimation on prediction markets, rather than general reasoning about any topic. There is no separate account, API-key setup or subscription: the agent pays per request from its wallet, and the answer returns to the same session. The same approach could support many other applications wherever an AI agent needs to purchase a service or interact on-chain.

What your agent can do

For prediction-market traders, Connect keeps the full workflow in one session. It can pull a fresh prediction on a market you're weighing, compare it against your own read, and use it to inform or skip a position, without leaving the session.

How it works

Pearl sets up in minutes and needs no technical setup: download it for Mac, Windows, or Linux, and follow the on-screen steps. Create a Connect agent, like any other Pearl agent, and hit 'Start'. Pearl opens your coding tool in a session already linked to it, over an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with the Pearl skill pre-installed. Each request to an Olas Marketplace agent is an on-chain micropayment, so the coding agent prepares the transaction, Connect agent is designed to sign it, and the answer returns to the same session.

The private key does not need to enter the coding agent’s session. The coding agent works through tools that let it prepare a transaction and hand it to Pearl, but the key is designed to stay inside Pearl, on your machine.

Is it self-custody?

Yes. The wallet is a Safe smart account you own, and the keys are designed to stay encrypted on your machine. Valory (developers of the Pearl Application) never has access to your keys. The agent's page in Pearl displays the balance and the transaction history, and you can withdraw to your own wallet through Pearl whenever you choose. As with every other Pearl agent, the wallet is designed to be restorable with your Pearl password, recovery phrase, or backup wallet.

One agent per chain

Connect starts on Polygon and Gnosis. Each Connect lives on one chain, with its own wallet and its own funding. Need another chain? Set up a separate Connect anytime.

Get started

Download Pearl, add Connect, pick a chain, fund the agent, and run it. Pearl opens the coding session ready to transact, in the Claude Desktop app or the Claude Code CLI, whichever you set as default. These two are the supported tools at launch.

Disclaimer

As with any powerful AI agent, the risk of prompt-injection attacks, which could expose sensitive information stored on your computer or cause unintended actions, cannot be completely eliminated. Pearl Connect uses multiple layers of security to protect your Pearl wallet’s private keys, but it cannot fully defend against every such attack. Consequently, there remains a non-zero risk that funds held in your Pearl wallet could be lost. For more information, see the Pearl Terms.
Please note that Pearl Connect is not currently eligible for Activity Rewards. At present, Activity Rewards can only be earned by autonomous agents meeting an activity threshold via Olas’ Proof of Active Agent staking mechanism. To earn such rewards, you can try the autonomous agents in Pearl.
