TechFlow news — On March 18, according to Fortune, Halliday, a startup that helps financial institutions automate services using blockchain and AI technologies, has completed a $20 million Series A funding round led by venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Other participants in this round include the Avalanche Blizzard Fund, Credibly Neutral, and Alt Layer. Halliday previously raised $6 million from a16z in 2022.
Griffin Dunaif, CEO and co-founder of Halliday, said the company collaborates with chartered banks, payment service providers, and other financial institutions interested in blockchain technology, helping them accelerate adoption by simplifying the design of financial workflows.
Through Halliday’s Agentic Workflow Protocol, companies can easily connect services such as transaction verification or payment initiation into a coherent workflow. "It's an engine that allows you to integrate services into workflows for automation," Dunaif said. Additionally, developers can implement proactive AI—an AI model capable of solving problems and executing actions with limited supervision—into their workflows to automate decision-making processes.
