Else Ventures Studio
We prototype at the pace of AI. Each experiment shapes what we build next.
AI x Blockchain financial primitive
We explored a core question: can an AI agent hold funds and transact safely? As ElizaOS and Coinbase’s CDP AgentKit emerged, the stack matured with Coinbase/Google’s x402 and Google’s AP2/UCP. We’re experimenting with this new stack and mapping what a safe, agent-native transaction layer could look like.
AI Safety x Crypto
We studied AI alignment in a future where multiple AGI-scale models coexist. Building on Omohundro’s ideas, we drafted a preprint on decentralized, token-based governance for a “society of minds,” submitted to the Bluedot Impact course in August 2024.
Elsie v.0.1
We began exploring whether an AI agent could help decide what ventures to build and how. With GPT-4, Elsie could write and communicate with a more human voice, hinting at a future where agents become indistinguishable from humans—able to listen, form opinions, and support decisions. Early days, but foundational.
