ELFA

Encrypted Local First Architecture

ELFA (which stands for "Encrypted Local First Architecture") is a three year research programme established in 2026, aiming to create a collaborative and decentralized open platform capable of providing private workspaces and healthy social networking.

Update 2026/08: Due to an internal reprioritisation, NLnet foundation has decided to withdraw from the ELFA consortium. Open calls are postponed until further notice, to be executed by another organisation. We apologise for any inconvenience.
