What is Perle?
Perle Labs runs a contributor platform where people complete structured onboarding and domain‑specific training before working on tasks that involve reviewing, labeling and evaluating multimodal data (text, images, video, audio, code). Consistent accuracy unlocks specialized, higher‑value tasks, and contributions are logged on‑chain with transparent rewards.
Mission & values
Bring human wisdom to AI models for companies of all sizes — Web3-powered AI training-data platform connecting 15,000+ vetted domain experts (doctors, lawyers, linguists, engineers, scientists) across 70+ countries with foundation-model labs.
Qualifications
Participants must complete the onboarding modules. Accuracy, reliability and domain knowledge (where applicable) are valued.
