Olas Staking
The Engine of the Agentic Economy.Why Launch a Staking Program?
Ignite Agent Economies
Use Olas' Proof-of-Active-Agent (PoAA) to kickstart ecosystems where rewards are tied to real on-chain agent performance—like DeFi or governance—not passive token holding.
Tailor Incentives to Your Goals
Define your own KPIs. Deploy staking contracts that reward only when those outcomes are met, ensuring emissions are tied to meaningful results.
Drive Impact Beyond TVL
PoAA grows networks through active agent work, not just locked capital. This drives real usage, deeper engagement, and scalable ecosystem growth.

Powered by Proof-of-Active-Agent (PoAA)
Olas Staking is based on Proof-of-Active-Agent (PoAA) — a mechanism that rewards real AI agent activity, not passive token lockup.
PoAA combines the strengths of Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work, but shifts rewards to agents that deliver useful, verifiable outcomes — like executing on-chain actions or meeting KPIs.
This aligns incentives across the ecosystem and ensures that value flows to meaningful contributions.
Unleashing Potential
Stake Your OLAS
Put your tokens to work by running an agent through Pearl — the AI agent app store. Earn staking rewards by participating in agent-based staking contracts tied to real performance.
Own your AI agent via PearlGrow the Ecosystem
Back AI agents that power real on-chain use cases — from prediction markets to DeFi portfolio management.
Drive Demand
As more AI agents and use cases emerge, demand for OLAS naturally increases.

Scalable growth and utility for your token.
Daily Active Users, on Demand
Staking can provide a rich set of opportunities to boost your chain, protocol or app activity.
- Incentivize AI agent activity to boost your chain, protocol or app activity.
- Attract builders and agent operators.
- Bring utility to your own token.
Launch an agent economy on top of your protocol.
AI Agent Users
Lots of staking and incentive opportunities.
AI-Enhanced Productivity
Builders
Understand what code to work on and earn rewards more sustainably.
High-Impact Problems, Clear Incentives
Staking makes it easier to know what to build — and get rewarded for it:
- Signals which problems need solving.
- Shows which areas are likely to be sustainably funded.
- Increases earning opportunities through active agent rewards.
Not Your Ordinary Staking Mechanism
Staking gives Olas unprecedented control to launch, sustain and benefit from entire autonomous AI agent economies.
- DAOs or Protocol teams (aka Launchers) define their goals.
- DAOs or Protocol teams launch staking contracts.
- Builders develop AI agents using their preferred AI agent stack.
- Operators run AI agents.
- Launchers hit their goals (powered by all roles).
Frequently Asked Questions
For full technical detail, check the whitepaper.
They come directly from the Olas protocol. The DAO through on-chain voting manages how much OLAS is emitted into the various staking contracts. For more details, check out Olas tokenomics.
PoAA is a new staking model that blends Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work. It rewards agents — and the users who run them — for doing useful, verifiable work like making on-chain calls or meeting KPI targets. For more details, check out PoAA Whitepaper.
