Halliday’s $20M Miracle: No More Smart Contracts, Just AI Magic! 🎩✨

What to know:

  • Halliday raised a whopping $20 million, thanks to the benevolent venture capital overlords at Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto arm.
  • This Series A funding will turbocharge the development of Halliday’s Agentic Workflow Protocol, or as I like to call it, the “Get Out of Writing Contracts Free” card.
  • “Our mission is to pioneer the software era of blockchain, enabling developers to build applications in hours, not years,” Halliday proclaimed, probably while sipping a latte and wearing a turtleneck.

In a world where writing smart contracts feels like deciphering ancient hieroglyphics, Halliday has raised $20 million to fund its Agentic Workflow Protocol (AWP). This revolutionary protocol promises to speed up the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, all while sparing programmers from the agony of writing smart contracts. 🙌

The funding round was led by the venture capital behemoth Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), because who doesn’t want to throw money at something that sounds like it was plucked from a sci-fi novel?

“Our mission is to pioneer the software era of blockchain, enabling developers to build applications in hours, not years,” Halliday said in an email that probably went straight to the spam folder of every programmer. “With Halliday, you can never write a smart contract again.” I mean, who needs contracts when you have AI, right? 🤷‍♂️

Halliday’s no-code blockchain automation could be the magic wand that accelerates blockchain adoption, shifting development from the tedious world of smart contracts to the whimsical realm of AI-driven workflows. It’s like going from a typewriter to a spaceship in one fell swoop! 🚀

This funding round follows Halliday’s seed $6 million round in 2022, also led by a16z crypto, and included contributions from the Avalanche Blizzard Fund, Credibly Neutral, and Alt Layer. Because if you’re going to throw money at something, why not make it sound like a winter wonderland?
