Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】Recently, I came across a project called HeyElsa that focuses on creating an AI Agent for crypto. They have published the economic design of the ELSA token, and the data is quite clear. The total supply is 1 billion tokens, with the following distribution: 7% to the team, 34.49% to the foundation, 40% to the community (including airdrops and incentives), 10.51% to investors, and 8% to liquidity. Interestingly, how the community’s 40% will be released—20% (equivalent to 8% of the total supply) will be unlocked directly at TGE, and the remaining part will be linearly released over 48 months. This design is quite balanced.

There has also been progress in fundraising. By June 2025, they completed a $3 million financing round led by M31 Capital, with follow-on investments from Coinbase Ventures, MH Ventures, Absoluta Digital, Levitate Labs, and others. What is the project mainly doing? Building a crypto AI stack, with the core ability to convert natural language instructions into on-chain operations—this direction indeed has room for imagination and is one of the main exploration directions of AI + Web3 at present.

Community 40% directly unlocked 8%, this approach is okay, just worried that subsequent linear releases will lead to a dump.

Community 40% directly unlocked 8%, the remaining 48 months gradually released? This approach is indeed a bit particular, not as eager to dump as some projects. The 3 million funding is okay, but with Coinbase Ventures backing, it feels a bit hasty. Let's wait and see.

40% of the community directly unlocks 8%, what about that? The remaining 32% need to wait 48 months? This pace is a bit relaxed, feels like a long wait.

Community 40% directly unlocked at TGE, releasing 8%? I like this release pace, unlike some projects that hold back just to dump the market.

The community's 40% release mechanism is indeed well-designed, but Coinbase Ventures coming in makes it a bit interesting. This indicates that mainstream major institutions are starting to seriously look at the AI Agent track...

Community 40% unlocks directly at 8%, with the remaining spread over 48 months... This guy's thinking is quite thorough, but we'll have to see if it can actually run in the future.
