What happens when a quiet beta phase starts shaping the future of AI and crypto at the same time?As Perle Labs Beta phase is moving towards a closure, the project is stepping into a new chapter that could define 2026 for contributors and the wider Web3 AI space. Founded on Solana, what began in 2025 is a simple yet profoundly ambitious concept: human knowledge is valuable, and it should be rewarded as such.
The beta launch took place on October 28, 2025, and it aimed to test practical workflows in expert-led data annotation validation. Instead of anonymous crowds, verified professionals completed high-quality tasks, with every action recorded on-chain.

The recent announcement confirms that the access and tasks will close by year-end, probably on Dec. 31, 2025. All pending points will be distributed, and earned points will stay visible as a permanent record. This marks a clean transition rather than an abrupt stop, signaling that the testing phase has delivered enough insight to move forward.
With the wrapping up, attention shifts to 2026. The roadmap points toward a mainnet rollout, expanded task systems, and broader participation. The platform’s link to Solana blockchain places it firmly in the crypto narrative, where on-chain reputation and transparent rewards matter as much as speed.
While there is no confirmed date, expectations around a Perle Labs mainnet launch are growing, especially as contributor demand and enterprise interest continue to align.
Confidence around the next phase is backed by capital. The team has raised $17.5 million in total, including a $9 million seed round led by Framework Ventures. This Perle Labs funding milestone supports scaling human-verified AI rather than hype-driven growth.

As for a token, none has launched yet. Still, as a Web3-native platform, discussion around a future token and even a PERLE token airdrop remains active. Any such move would likely follow mainnet readiness, not precede it.
The end of Perle Labs beta is not an ending, but a major turning point for the project. With strong funding, a clear human-first vision, and 2026 in sight, it now moves into its next phase with steady confidence rather than loud hype. As far as the contributors are concerned, the release portfolio proves engagement at an earlier level, with 2026 offering possibilities of utility, reward, and an advanced ecosystem.
