Elata's model aims to serve all contributors

For investors

It is no secret that drug development is a pricey endeavor, and it is no surprise that private markets are generally uninterested in investing in projects with low upside potential. Elata fixes this by providing high upside potential and ROI through issuing an allocation of royalty streams and cashflows stemming from drug sales and licensing agreements amongst tokenholders.

For researchers

Elata is forming a psychiatric innovation unit to advance novel compound research, inviting pioneering researchers to steer early-stage drug development.

Elata aims to unify the psychiatric research community, enhancing collaboration and aligning incentives through a community-focused approach.

For patients

Developing an open community that patients can use is the key and most important part of Elata.

We prioritize patient outcomes by fostering an open community, ensuring that scientific advancements and funding interests align closely with the needs of patients.

Frequently asked questions

Reach out to us if you have questions that aren't answered here.
How does Elata work?
Elata is an open innovation effort broadly focused on early-stage drug development in neuropsychiatry, operating within an area known as decentralized science (DeSci). The DeSci movement aims to use blockchain networks to create an open ecosystem around scientific research, ranging from many distinct therapeutic areas - and more specifically - to align incentives for all stakeholders, something that has traditionally been very difficult in open-source communities. Our goal is to create more effective spinouts than those at traditional institutions by implementing a modular organizational structure in which the hub is an open, transparent, and decentralized information exchange.
What is the advantage of Elata?
Elata is pooling expertise and financial capital to create an all-encompassing constituency and organizational innovation unit supporting early-stage drug development in psychiatry. Our solution aims to operate at the crossroads of various disciplines, and we orient ourselves to push a diversified portfolio of medicines forward to maximize impact for investors, external partners, contributors, and ultimately patients.
How can I get involved?
At some point in the near future, you will be able to obtain an Elata token which will allow you to stake and therefore cast a vote pertaining to initiatives we engage in. Besides that, communications will be streamed primarily through our Discord Server, where members can engage in information sharing, vote tracking, project screening, and news updates. Besides Discord, we regularly update our social media accounts as a way of communicating with those who wish to partially engage with our community. We primarily use X/Twitter and LinkedIn for these purposes.
