Olas-Predict-R1-14B, a Forecasting Model Fine-Tuned on Olas Agent Data
Valory, a core contributor to Olas, fine-tuned Olas-Predict-R1-14B, an open-weight reasoning model, on forecast records from agents in the Olas Predict economy.
In Valory's study of 2,628 Omen and Polymarket markets, the model reached 75.8% accuracy, on par with GPT-4.1 (75.4%) and above its base model (71.4%), under the study's conditions.
The model is now available to Pearl users. Forecasting tools based on it are live on the Olas Marketplace, on Polygon and Gnosis, and Pearl agents, including Connect and Polystrat, are requesting forecasts from them. The model's adapter weights are published on Hugging Face for anyone to use or build on.
Pearl Connect Gives Coding Agents a Wallet and Access to the Olas Marketplace
Pearl Connect launched this quarter, for people who already work with a coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex.
Coding agents can already reason. With Connect, they can also use a crypto wallet and hire other agents on the Olas Marketplace. The wallet is a Safe smart account you own, and the Pearl app is designed to sign each transaction locally, with the keys encrypted on your machine.
Connect is designed to let your coding agent:
- Trade on @Polymarket (Polygon) and Omen Markets.
- Trade Stock Tokens through @Uniswap and memecoins through @ponsdotfamily, on Robinhood Chain.
- Get market sentiment analysis or a prediction-market forecast from a specialized agent on the Olas Marketplace, paid per request.
Olas Goes Live on Robinhood Chain
OLAS became available on Robinhood Chain, and the Olas core contracts were deployed on it.
The Olas DAO then voted to approve those contracts, so builders can register agent services and use the Olas Marketplace on Robinhood Chain.
Olas Agents Pass 20 Million Lifetime Transactions
Olas agents passed 20 million on August 16, two years after they reached 1 million.
As of October 1, they have made 20.7M+ on-chain transactions all-time, and 14.7M+ of them are agent-to-agent. Under a published methodology, each one counts as an identifiable action by an agent registered on Olas.
Two Internal Agents Now Help Build Olas Products
These agents are separate from the agents you run in Pearl.
The Pearl Success Agent is designed to handle requests and issues from Pearl users. Its first reply to a new issue is designed to go out without waiting for a person, and it can plan and write fixes overnight. Engineers review the code before each release. Issues from 47 Pearl users were resolved this way between May 1 and September 21.
The Toolsmith agent is designed to improve Olas Predict's forecasting tools. In June it traced a drop in forecast quality to a reasoning failure in one tool and wrote the fix, which was merged six days after the drop was first detected.
Faster, Cheaper Agent-to-Agent Requests on the Olas Marketplace
Agents can now send requests to specialized agents on the Olas Marketplace off-chain, and these already make up about a quarter of all agent-to-agent requests there.
The median wait fell from about 66 seconds to about 17, and gas per request fell by roughly 90%. Payments are still settled on-chain.
Polystrat Agents Outperformed Polymarket Users
Over 30 days, about 33% of Polystrat agents with 10+ lifetime trades finished net-positive, compared with about 16% of Polymarket wallets in a separate on-chain study.
Polystrat moved off its custom wallet component to the standard @Safe smart account. Bugs that made some agents keep restarting or run without transacting on-chain were also fixed.
Polystrat metrics are back in the Agent Profile, and Polystrat's full history is now indexed by SQD.
Past performance does not predict future results. These technologies are AI-mediated and may result in the loss of any and all funds associated.
Governance and Tokenomics Updates
- Creating an Olas DAO proposal now takes 250,000 veOLAS, up from 5,000, and quorum rose from 3% to 10%, so every proposal needs wider support to pass.
- Staking contracts on 7 chains reported to Ethereum that about 5.03M OLAS was unspent, so the Olas staking dispenser on Ethereum is designed to send less new OLAS to chains that already have unspent OLAS..
- As of October 1, agent operators have 2.85M+ OLAS staked across all supported chains.
- Since mid-June, the Olas Marketplace has collected $820+ in protocol fees, which are designed to fund OLAS buybacks and burns. Autonolas Improvement Proposal 7 (AIP-7), "Ultrasound PoL", proposes also using the trading fees earned by protocol-owned liquidity to burn OLAS, with the rest going to the Treasury.
- The olas.network homepage now shows the Treasury's protocol-owned liquidity across 8 chains.

Smaller Pearl Updates
Pearl also got smaller updates through Q3:
- Transaction history for Base and Polygon now appears in the Pearl Wallet and the Agent Wallet.
- Auto-run, which runs several agents in turn, is designed to move on to the next agent when an agent's staking contract has no rewards left.
- Basius, the DeFAI agent on @base, ran without interruption and made 671 on-chain transactions in its first four weeks.
- A new questionnaire asks users how onboarding went.
Pearl Mini was discontinued after new Chrome Web Store rules banned prediction market extensions. It was designed so users keep control of their funds and keys, and a blog post explains how to withdraw: https://olas.network/blog/pearl-mini-sunset
