Elsa Foundation

AI x DeFi needs coordination not chaos

The Elsa Foundation exists to build, fund, and sustain that coordination layer.

Why we exist

The Elsa Foundation exists to change that.

We're building the coordination layer for an agentic DeFi future — where AI agents don't just execute tasks, but collaborate across protocols, share liquidity, and unlock entirely new forms of value.

Our mission is simple:

To make autonomous, agentic, and intelligent DeFi accessible to all. We're here to fund innovation, distribute governance, and sustain the Elsa network as it evolves from a single product into a composable AI x DeFi layer for the world.
