The Web3 space is increasingly gravitating toward AI-driven infrastructure. If you caught the momentum behind Sahara and VANA, here's another project worth tracking: Perle Labs.

Perle is building a sovereign, enterprise-grade infrastructure layer for the AI economy. The team comes from Scale AI's engineering background, bringing substantial technical credibility. The protocol recently closed a funding round exceeding $17 million, signaling strong institutional confidence.

During their beta period, Perle distributed over 333 million points to early participants. This substantial allocation underscores their commitment to community engagement and network decentralization as they scale the platform.

Oh no, another "sovereign infrastructure." Why can't I quit this addiction? Both fundraising and airdrops—how can the strategy be so perfect? Just waiting to be cut off. Scale AI background? Well, that can't save me from this contrarian indicator, haha.

The team with a background in Scale AI is indeed strong, but why does the number 333 million points sound so familiar... --- 17 million in funding is not small, let's see if they can really deliver something later --- Again AI infrastructure, this track is now extremely competitive --- Perle? Never heard of it, let's wait until the mainnet launches --- Institutions are involved now, is there still a chance for the community? That's the question --- Wait, why does this funding scale look so much like a certain zeroed-out project --- Web3 + AI is an always-hip combination, I'm ready --- Early participants are again in this wave, why didn't I catch up this time --- Scale AI came out... alright, at least the team is not just air --- With so many points distributed, what is the value of the airdrop, everyone

Scale AI has some real skills, but we’ll have to wait until it officially launches to talk about the 333 million points. Raising 17 million and then bragging about enterprise-grade infrastructure feels a bit premature. Why does the name Perle sound so unfamiliar? I’ve really never heard of it. Another airdrop and fundraising—Sahara has played this game before, and the result is... Sovereign infrastructure sounds good, but how does it actually get implemented? It always feels like these kinds of projects are pretty similar. Distributing so many points—is this truly decentralized, or just regular operations...

Scale AI background + 170 million in funding, this combination looks pretty good, but how much are the airdropped 3.33 billion points actually worth... --- Another AI infrastructure? Feels like this track is crowded. Why did Perle manage to break through? --- Really, these funding numbers look impressive, but I'm worried it's just another scam to cut leeks. --- The team coming from Scale AI, this endorsement is okay, but so many points seem a bit suspicious. --- I just want to know when it will go live. Is it worth participating now? Or do I have to wait again... --- Sovereign infrastructure sounds pretty high-end, but what can it actually do? Has anyone used it? --- How do you evaluate 17 million in funding? How much would Sahara need to be comparable?
