Valory makes AI software that groups of people or organizations can control together. This creates new opportunities in web3, science, and enterprise ventures, and means powerful AI systems can be owned by everyone. We co-created Olas, the platform for co-owning AI, specifically autonomous AI agents, coordinated by the OLAS token. It's made up of the Olas Stack, an open-source framework for building the agents and the Olas Protocol, a blockchain protocol for incentivizing the agents.
