Odaily News Olas, an autonomous AI agent platform in cryptocurrency, has closed $13.8 million in funding to support the launch of its “agent app store” called Pearl.

This round of financing was led by 1kx, followed by Tioga Capital, Sigil Fund, Zee Prime Capital, Borderless, Keyrock and other institutions.

The team at Olas, also known as Autonolas, said the funding will be used to support its agent app store, which aims to democratize access to user-owned AI agents.

The app store will let users own and control their AI agents directly on-chain for a variety of use cases such as autonomous social media accounts or DeFi transactions.
