Perle

Perle Labs did not start by selling compute. It framed doctors, linguists, engineers and reviewers as the scarce layer behind dependable AI, then built tasks for labeling, evaluation and validation.

The marketplace pitch joined enterprise demand to a qualified contributor network. Accuracy, consistency and specialization were meant to matter more than raw task volume.

That is a product claim, not proof that every advertised enterprise category is a live customer. The litepaper explicitly withholds client names and describes categories as illustrative.

Beta contributors earned points, badges and leaderboard status. The glossary still defines points as a platform reward unit and a signal for future claim eligibility, distinct from PRL.

Older official pages said points would later convert into on-chain rewards. Season 1 then announced live on-chain reputation, but no public formula turns one point into a fixed amount of PRL.

Launch material said every contribution would be logged on-chain with immutable provenance. The official glossary is more restrained: Solana records key activity metadata without exposing personal information, and reputation is only partially verifiable on-chain.

Those descriptions can coexist only if a contribution receipt is distinguished from raw annotation content. Perle has not published the account schema, program addresses or independent data-reconstruction method needed to test the broadest version.

The ambiguity narrows at the token. PRL is the Solana Token-2022 mint PERLEQKUNUp1dgFZ8EvyXHdN9d6ZQqfGxALDvfs6pDs with eight decimals.

Its mint and freeze authorities are null. No key can use those standard authorities to inflate or freeze balances under the present configuration.

A metadata authority remains, however. It can update token metadata fields; fixed monetary supply does not make every descriptive field immutable.

The litepaper divides one billion PRL among team 17%, investors 27.66%, ecosystem 17.84% and community 37.5%. Team and investor tokens begin after a twelve-month cliff and finish at month 48.

Under the published plan, ecosystem and community allocations account for the proposed 17.5% day-one circulation. Their remaining releases are scheduled over 48 and 36 months respectively. This schedule does not establish that transfers occurred: later sellable supply still depends on custody and distribution arrangements that the mint account alone does not reveal.

Live outstanding supply may sit slightly below the original billion because tokens can be burned. A null mint authority fixes the ceiling; it does not force the balance back to the genesis number.

Halborn spent March 11–12, 2026 reviewing the Token-2022 mint configuration and reported no findings. That supports the authority and extension map.

It does not audit the contributor application, scoring algorithm, enterprise datasets, vesting custody, reward conversion, privacy controls or a staking system. Calling the entire network audited would erase the report's own scope.

The litepaper uses 'may' for access, priority and future features. No reviewed source supplies a PRL staking contract, holder-voting contract, proposal archive or automatic revenue distribution.

Perle Labs can qualify workers, accept or reject submissions, set campaigns and change product plans. Its disclaimer reserves broad discretion, yet the public documents do not name an incorporated issuer or jurisdiction.

PRL therefore coordinates an intended marketplace without granting title to Perle Labs, Perle.ai, enterprise data or revenue. The clearest on-chain fact is the token; the most consequential work rules remain social, contractual and operational.
