Elsa is an AI-powered DeFi copilot platform designed to help users discover opportunities, execute trades, and manage crypto portfolios through a conversational interface across multiple blockchains. It aims to simplify complex DeFi actions—such as swapping, bridging, portfolio rebalancing, and yield optimisation—by translating natural-language instructions into on-chain actions using a custom-trained large language model and a multi-model AI architecture.
Elsa connects to on-chain and off-chain data sources and abstracts chain-specific complexity behind a unified chat-based interface. Users provide instructions in natural language, and Elsa interprets intent, plans the required steps, and executes actions through integrated DeFi protocols and cross-chain infrastructure.
Its approach is described as multi-model: a custom-trained LLM handles language understanding and task orchestration, while additional specialised models support trading workflows, portfolio analysis, market insights, and education. Elsa also includes internal routing and optimisation logic intended to find efficient paths for swaps, bridges, and yield allocation across 8 supported chains, while adding safeguards aimed at reducing common transaction errors and failures.
Elsa is positioned for several DeFi and portfolio management workflows, including:
