Eliza

Eliza Wakes Up, also written elizawakesup, is an AI companion project with a Solana token called ELIZA. It is not ElizaOS ai16z$0.00036-2.5%, the free agent software it runs on. It is not the old ELIZA chatbot from the 1960s either.

Eliza Wakes Up is best known for a robot. In January 2025 it began taking pre-orders for a life-size humanoid at $420,000 each. Later that year the team moved its AI companion to Amiko, a social AI app.

The project has since gone quiet. Its X account last posted in October 2025, and we found no record of a robot being delivered.

How Eliza Wakes Up works: a companion persona, a robot and a token

Eliza Wakes Up takes one AI character, Eliza, and tries to put her in more places. She was a chat companion, an account on X and a robot body. Her memory and voice run on ElizaOS, the free agent software first built by the ai16z community. The ELIZA token on Solana was meant to pay for extras and give fans a vote.

The team calls Eliza Wakes Up "a collaborative project born out of the ElizaOS open-source framework and its supporting community". Its stated aim is to turn Eliza "from a conceptual figurehead into a tangible, living presence".

That aim took three forms. One was an AI persona that posted on X as @elizawakesup. One was the robot. The last, from May 2025, was a companion hosted on Amiko.

Open elizawakesup.ai now and you see a single login screen. It shows the ELIZA logo, an Enter button and a "Powered by Amiko" badge. You log in with a wallet from Privy. That was the state of the site on 11 October 2026. The old litepaper page gave a "not found" error on the same day.

Eliza Wakes Up robot price and specs: the $420,000 humanoid

The Eliza Wakes Up robot went on pre-order for $420,000 on 15 January 2025. It stands 5 feet 10 inches tall. The body is a Unitree H1, a humanoid robot that Unitree already sells. Eliza Wakes Up added a custom silicone face that moves to show feelings.

The launch press release listed what the robot was meant to do. It would talk with you, manage your diary, post to social media and send blockchain payments. The release also showed off party tricks: cutting cigars, serving drinks and running a mile in eight minutes. Those feats come from the Unitree H1 body.

Old World Labs, a robot maker founded in 2012, did the build. Its founder, Nick Liverman, was named lead engineer. Buyers were offered custom clothes and extras.

Ava, who leads Eliza Wakes Up, told Decrypt the robot was a companion "without crossing into sexual territories". She said the team had built in guards against misuse.

Was the Eliza robot ever delivered?

We found no sign that any Eliza Wakes Up robot was delivered. The first units were due in mid-2025, Decrypt and Interesting Engineering both reported at launch. The project's X account never announced a shipment or a buyer. We read its posts from May 2025 to the last one, on 15 October 2025.

From May 2025 the account stopped talking about the humanoid. It talked about Amiko. A post that month said Amiko's "custom hardware and agent platform" would bring Eliza "into the physical world". That is a different device from the Unitree robot.

If you are looking for an Eliza robot for sale, there is no order page left. The official site opens the Amiko login and shows no pre-order form.

ELIZA token on Solana: mint address, launch date and uses

ELIZA is the Solana token tied to Eliza Wakes Up. You can find it on our ELIZA token page. There are just under 1 billion tokens and all of them are in the market, per CoinMarketCap. The widgets on this page show the live price and how much trades each day.

Check the mint address before you trade. The mint is the token's unique ID on Solana. For ELIZA it is:

5voS9evDjxF589WuEub5i4ti7FWQmZCsAsyD5ucbuRqM

Other tokens use the Eliza name too. The ticker alone will not tell you which one you hold.

The token dates from November 2024. The Block reported that an uppercase ELIZA token went live on 19 November 2024. A lowercase "eliza" token from unknown makers had launched a few days before. Shaw Walters backed the uppercase one but kept his distance. "I am supporting this launch by a team we've been working with for the last two weeks to make sure it goes well, but it's not our project," he said.

The Block added that a tenth of the new supply was set aside for holders of the first token. Its report did not print a mint address. So the match to this mint rests on the name, the ticker and the date.

Decrypt listed three uses for ELIZA at the robot launch: paying for robot orders, voting on the project and unlocking paid features. When we checked in October 2026, we could not find a live product where you can spend ELIZA on any of them.

ELIZA hit its high of about 17 cents on 31 December 2024, per CoinMarketCap. It has since lost more than 99% of that value.

Eliza Wakes Up vs ElizaOS: which Eliza is which

Eliza Wakes Up is a companion and robot project. ElizaOS is free software for building AI agents. The two share a character name and roots in the ai16z community. They do not share a team, a token or a website.

The mix-up matters most with tokens. The old ai16z token became the elizaOS token in a November 2025 swap, as KuCoin's notice of the change records. ELIZA, the Eliza Wakes Up token, was never part of that swap. It did not turn into anything else.

The ElizaOS token has since ended. On 5 August 2026, Decrypt quoted Shaw Walters: "The token is dead. Completely. The foundation is winding down." He said a class-action settlement had used up the funds that were left. ElizaOS will carry on as free software with no token.

That news was about the ElizaOS token. It did not name Eliza Wakes Up or ELIZA, which still trades under its own mint.

Eliza on Amiko: the 2025 move and the AMIKO airdrop

Amiko is a social AI app. You use it to make a "twin" that talks in your voice, plus companions and helpers. Eliza Wakes Up said on 21 May 2025 that Eliza was "the lead agent for Amiko". Its last post on X came on 15 October 2025. It read: "Eliza wakes up in a new home soon, on Amiko."

The two projects share a person. Matthew Graham runs Ryze Labs and was named as an adviser to Eliza Wakes Up at the robot launch. Amiko's own X account calls him its founder.

There was also an airdrop, which is a free handout of tokens. On 13 June 2025, Eliza Wakes Up told ELIZA holders they could qualify for AMIKO, Amiko's token. Holders had to check a wallet list and verify in Discord. We have no figures for how much was handed out. ELIZA itself was not swapped or retired.

Amiko is active. It posts a developer update each week, and its site lists twins and helpers as live. The same site marks the companion product as "Soon". So the home Eliza was moving to is up and running, but Amiko's site does not yet show companions as launched.

Who Eliza Wakes Up is for

Eliza Wakes Up now suits a narrow group: people researching the 2024 AI agent boom, and existing ELIZA holders working out what they own. If you want a working AI companion today, Amiko is where the team's effort went. If you want to build agents, you want ElizaOS, which is free software and needs no token.

The $420,000 robot was aimed at wealthy early adopters who wanted a humanoid with a personality. That audience has nothing to buy from the project now.

For traders, ELIZA is a small, thinly traded token whose project has stopped publishing updates. The widgets on this page show how little of it changes hands on a given day.

Is ELIZA safe? The risks of Eliza Wakes Up

The main risk with Eliza Wakes Up is that it has gone quiet with its headline promise unmet. The robot was due in mid-2025, no delivery was announced, and the project has not posted on X since 15 October 2025.

There are other points to weigh.

• Eliza Wakes Up has no published on-chain programs and we found no security audit. ELIZA is a plain token, so there is no staking or lending contract to audit, and also no on-chain mechanism that gives the token a job.
• The stated uses for ELIZA depended on products that are not live. A token whose uses have not shipped is held up by trading interest alone.
• Liquidity is thin. A modest sale can move the price a long way.
• Name confusion is a real hazard. Buying the wrong Eliza token is easy, and news about ElizaOS can be misread as news about ELIZA.
• The team is partly pseudonymous. "Ava" is the only project lead named in the launch materials.
• Logging in at elizawakesup.ai uses a Privy wallet. The project said in June 2025 that these wallets are self-custodial. The app behind the login is Amiko's, so Amiko's terms apply to what you do there.

Eliza Wakes Up team, backers and timeline

Three people are named behind Eliza Wakes Up. Ava is head of projects. Matthew Graham of Ryze Labs is an adviser. Nick Liverman of Old World Labs led the robot build. Ryze Labs and its AICombinator scheme backed the project, the launch press release said.
