# Perle (PRL) Token Passes Security Audit with Halborn

The Perle (PRL) token has completed its security audit with Halborn, confirming that the token's smart contract architecture meets the highest standards of safety and transparency on Solana. We're proud to share the results with our community.

### A Token Built for Trust

Perle (PRL) is an SPL Token-2022 token deployed on Solana with 8 decimals and a fixed total supply of 1,000,000,000 PRL. As part of our commitment to building transparent, crypto-native infrastructure for AI data training, we designed PRL with security as a foundational principle from day one.

### What the Audit Confirmed

The security review verified the following critical safeguards:

Mint Authority: Revoked. No new PRL tokens can ever be created. The supply of 1 billion PRL is permanently capped, giving holders certainty that dilution is impossible.

Freeze Authority: Null. No entity, including the Perle team, can freeze any token account. Your PRL remains fully in your control at all times.

On-Chain Metadata. PRL's token metadata is stored directly on-chain using the Token-2022 metadata extension, with the metadata URI hosted on Arweave for permanent, decentralized storage. The update authority is held by 6pJjJFA69U4YFvwu1wajkLBrP4BoP2ULncBBjKwidLRG.

PRL uses Solana's Token-2022 program, which extends the original SPL Token with enhanced security features and native extension support. This standard has itself been audited by leading firms like Halborn.

### Why This Matters

At Perle Labs, we're building decentralized infrastructure where contributors worldwide earn rewards for providing expert-quality AI training data, with every contribution logged immutably on Solana. The PRL token is at the center of this ecosystem, powering transparent payments, on-chain attribution, and verifiable work histories. A clean security audit ensures that the token underpinning this system is as robust as the mission it serves.

### What's Next

With the audit behind us, the team is focused on scaling the Perle Labs contributor network and expanding task domains across healthcare, legal, robotics, and more. Backed by $17.5M in funding from Framework Ventures, CoinFund, and others, Perle is well-positioned to lead the intersection of AI data quality and on-chain verification.

We believe the best AI is built on the best data—and the best data ecosystems are built on trust. This audit is one more step toward that vision.

Welcome to the sovereign intelligence era for AI.
