• Partnerships: Wallchain, Coinbase Developer Platform, Base ecosystem

Project Idea

HeyElsa aims to remove technical barriers in crypto and DeFi. Today, users must navigate multiple platforms, calculate gas fees, compare liquidity pools, and manually manage risks to perform swaps, bridges, staking, or NFT purchases. With HeyElsa, users simply state their goal in natural language (e.g., “Buy a Pudgy Penguin under 25 ETH,” “Stake my SOL to the highest-yield protocol,” or “Create an equal basket of 5 trending memecoins with stop-loss”), and AI agents handle the rest.

How It Works

HeyElsa operates with AI Automata, an intent-based architecture. Natural language commands (e.g., “Stake ETH on Base”) are interpreted by the Intent Agent into actionable plans. The Chain Analyzer identifies optimal routes and liquidity, the Risk Management Engine ensures safety, and the Execution Layer completes transactions across chains in seconds.

Four-layer user experience:

• Natural Language Interface: Execute commands like “Buy SOL” or “Create memecoin basket.”

• AI Agents: Intent- and script-based execution, risk management, and data-driven recommendations.

• On-Chain Analysis: Monitor chains and alert on trends and opportunities.

• Execution Layer: Manage and optimize transactions.

Elsa AI Automata Layers

• DAO Monitor: Approves community contributions and automations.

• User Profile Agent: Manages user preferences and risk profiles.

• Chain Analyzer: Processes blockchain data and identifies opportunities.

• Intent Agent: Analyzes user goals and directs optimal execution.

• Risk Management: Tracks portfolio risk and implements safeguards.

• Execution Layer: Executes transactions across multiple chains.

• External Data & AI Layer: Supports AI with data from Chainlink, Pyth, Dune, Nansen, Twitter, Discord, etc.

Governance & Roadmap

2025 marked the maturation of Elsa’s agent-based systems, processing over $300M in on-chain volume. With x402, agents can manage their own economic activity, and ERC8004 enables verifiable execution. The TGE in Jan 2026 will launch token distribution, followed by Trading Arena, Base Arena, and an expanded AI agent ecosystem.

Roadmap summary:

• Planned: Elsa DAO for community governance

• ELSA Token Staking: Participation and governance

• Completed: Copilot phase (intent-based execution)

• Ongoing: Advanced agents, fiat integration, Trading Arena

• Near Future: Jan 2026 TGE, reward system, Base Arena expansion, AI agent ecosystem

Extra Note: As of Jan 7, 2026, Coinbase added ELSA to its official listing roadmap, signaling potential broader listing and platform access.

Last month, there was a noticeable increase in activities in the NFT market, with a significant portion of the rising transaction volume taking place on the Blur platform.

You can visit the Blur website by clicking here.

According to some data provided to users, Ethereum-based NFT transactions exceeded $605 million in November. This figure represents an almost 100% increase compared to the monthly transaction volume of $306 million in October.

With four days remaining in December, the NFT transaction volume for the month has already reached nearly $90 million, with approximately $70 million of that coming from transactions on the Blur platform. This striking increase demonstrates Blur’s impact and popularity in the industry.

The market share of the previously leading OpenSea has dropped to around 16%. Blur has surpassed OpenSea since February, taking control of the majority of the Ethereum-based NFT market.

While other marketplaces such as LooksRare and X2Y2 exist, they seem to have only a small share in the monthly transaction volume of the market, especially when compared to the significant influence of Blur and OpenSea in transactions.
