Elata is a neurotechnology protocol that turns next-gen brain tech into products and businesses. Our approach standardizes EEG and biosensor data across devices, preserves user privacy, and layers in an economic system to coordinate apps, users, developers, devices, and capital. Builders use Elata to ship neuro-apps faster, with shared infra for data, incentives, tournaments, and funding.
-
Standardized Data/Device Layer: Unifies EEG, eye-tracking, and other biosignals into shared formats and SDKs so any device or app can plug into the same rails. Allows any compatible EEG headset, webcam, or wearable to connect, so hardware makers gain an immediate app marketplace and demand surface.
-
Machine Learning: Uses on-device/federated learning and edge models so brain data stays local whenever possible while still powering personalized experiences.
-
Token Design: Embeds staking, non-transferable Points, and per-app tokens to coordinate funding, access, rewards, and long-term alignment between participants. Provides primitives for app-level tokens, NFT items, and auction-style tournament buy-ins with automatic prize pools and payouts.
-
Developer Experience & Tooling: Gives builders open-source contracts, SDKs, and APIs to launch neuro-apps without rebuilding wallets, tokenomics, data pipelines, or infra.
-
User Ownership, Safety, and Agency: Ensures users control how their brain data is used, benefit from better tools instead of data checks, and gain voice in how the ecosystem evolves.
As an open-source project, Elata welcomes contributions from engineers, researchers, and designers. See our Contributing Guide to get started.
The highest value-adds for the time being include:
- Rust developers for embedded and signal processing.
- TypeScript/Next.js devs for frontend and dashboard tooling.
- ML researchers with EEG, neuroimaging, or psychiatric modeling experience.
- Biohackers, citizen scientists, and neurotech tinkerers.
