what's Perle Labs?

Perle Labs is a Web3-powered AI platform designed to enhance AI model training by leveraging blockchain technology for data attribution and cryptoeconomic incentives. It focuses on sourcing high-quality human feedback to improve AI datasets, addressing challenges in traditional AI training where data quality and contributor compensation are often overlooked. By integrating decentralized mechanisms, Perle enables contributors to earn rewards for providing accurate annotations and validations, ensuring transparency and fairness in the data pipeline. The platform operates as the "Human Layer" for AI, connecting human expertise with machine learning processes through on-chain verification. Users participate in tasks like labeling, moderation, and quality assurance, with blockchain ensuring immutable records of contributions. This approach not only democratizes AI development but also mitigates biases by incentivizing diverse, verified inputs from a global community. Perle Labs emphasizes community building, with features like quests, AMAs, and Discord engagement to onboard contributors. Backed by investors like Framework Ventures, it aims to scale as a foundational infrastructure for open-source AGI initiatives, blending AI advancements with Web3 principles for sustainable data ecosystems.

Perle Labs' Season 1 point program launches this week (Jan 19-25, 2026).
