# Perle Tokenomics The PRL token is the native asset of the Perle network, designed to power the sovereign intelligence layer for enterprise AI. PRL serves as the coordination mechanism across Perle's two-sided marketplace: connecting enterprise AI teams that need high-quality, auditable training data with the domain experts who produce it. The utility of Perle centers on enabling participation in a decentralized network while reinforcing principles of data ownership. Participants can engage with network functions while retaining transparency and control over the data they generate or manage.
