As blockchain has scaled, a mass proliferation of infrastructure, chains, and on-chain services has ensued.

Large acquisitions have paved the way for enterprise adoption of public blockchains.

Strong AI is a reality now, with its effects rippling through industries. The launch of reasoning models make it inevitable that AI agents will perform important actions on our behalf.

But this explosion of progress has created a wall of complexity. It’s too difficult to ship blockchain products. The thousands of chains and services coming online have burdened developers with unending plumbing work. Building smart contracts, or as we call them application-specific integrated protocols (ASIPs), for every new use case is no longer tenable — there’s a better way.

Smart contracts are obsolete

Smart contract development is slow, expensive, and dangerous. Unlike traditional software, once you deploy a contract on-chain, it’s difficult to iterate:

• 6–12+ months to add functionality.
• Expensive audits required, even for minor changes.
• Non-battle-tested contracts are susceptible to deadly exploits.

Whenever a customer requests something new, you’re stuck saying “Wait months for an audited update” — often losing deals in the process. This is the cost of building ASIPs.

Integrations never end

The current stack is overwhelming. Developers are faced with unending integration work. In building Halliday, we were tasked with integrating ninety components (DEXs, bridges, networks, customer protocols, etc.). An integration optimistically takes three weeks, adding up to five years of engineering time — time diverted from building core business logic.

Composing existing integrations is difficult

Moving data between heterogeneous protocols is hard and building the supporting infrastructure for reliable execution is even harder.

This requires a system that is fault-tolerant under failure modes. Errors like gas fee spikes, bridge outages, or arbitrary contract reverts are common when working with numerous components. Maintenance also demands constant time and effort: protocols migrate from V1 to V2, data APIs change formats, etc.

Building multi-chain adds significant complexity

In recent years, it has become essential to support alt-VMs, such as Solana, TON, and SUI. Even though there are fewer VMs than on-chain services, each new VM can add 6–12+ months of development time and a maintenance burden.

Handling hundreds of chains makes all of the above more complicated. You need deployment ops, data systems, reliable execution, and monitoring on every chain. Augmenting a system to handle this adds 12+ months. Halliday solves this automatically — no new code required.

Operationalizing AI with on-chain assets is hard

You can’t just hand over your keys and/or assets to an AI system. That is neither safe nor compliant. However, to make AI useful for blockchain apps agents need to be able to work with user assets and perform actions on-chain. You also need to be sure that the AI can’t lose funds, steal assets, or make consequential mistakes. Businesses need to have oversight and control over the scope of actions an agent can perform. For AI to be integrated into real crypto businesses, we need robust safety infrastructure for AI.

This requires a trustless agentic workflow protocol that enables users to leverage AI safely. You need to be able to define tasks and set guardrails that are enforced on-chain. This is a frontier research problem, requiring thousands of hours of R&D and engineering.

We built an agentic workflow engine once, so you never have to write smart contracts again

Everyone thinks you should write smart contracts for every on-chain application. However, most developers aim to stitch together protocols into workflows for specific use cases. Much like how most web2 developers solve problems in high-level scripting languages like JavaScript, the vast majority of web3 use cases don’t require low-level contract code. For most production needs — especially multi-chain/multi-service scenarios — this is especially true.

The cost of working in low-level code is lost customers. We were in a deal discussion and a potential customer asked if we could handle recurring payments across networks. At the time, we supported one-time payments but our smart contracts didn’t support subscriptions. In a high-level programming environment this would have been a trivial addition. Because we were stuck having to re-write smart contracts, we told them we couldn’t support the request for over 6 months. We lost the deal.

What if there was a better way? What if you could outsource most of the work of making a multi-service application? What if a zero-trust platform could integrate, compose, and automate existing protocols on your behalf obviating the need to build custom glue and reliability logic over and over again?

While others focused on liquidity optimizations, we saw that smart contracts were the core issue. Our insight was to build a workflow engine once and never write a smart contract again. An engine eliminates the need to write new smart contracts per use case by handling protocol integration, composition, and automation out of the box.

This workflow engine was the perfect foundation for agents. With it, agents could transform user intention into on-chain action, orchestrate processes, and interact with smart contracts easily. However, to trust agents with crypto assets, there needs to be a way to implement guardrails that guarantee safe task completion.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce the first agentic workflow protocol: a platform that lets you define tasks with immutable guardrails that enables autonomous systems, such as agents or software, to do work for you.

ASIP vs Agentic Workflows side-by-side

The first agentic workflow protocol

An agentic workflow is a task with immutable guardrails that lets autonomous systems, such as agents or software, do work for you.

The agentic workflow protocol saves you 10+ years of engineering time. No need to perform countless integrations. No need to build reliable execution logic. No need to manage complex data systems. Simply put, avoid building over a decade of plumbing infrastructure.

Halliday features a unified programming model, allowing you to write agentic workflows as code. Define agentic workflows in your favorite language and deploy them to Halliday Protocol for guaranteed execution. You only need to learn one protocol, instead of navigating multiple project docs and manually stitching together rigid ASIPs, which is time consuming and error prone.

The protocol is zero-trust which uniquely enables the safe delegation of partial or entire workflows to agents. Guardrails and task objectives are immutable and enforced on-chain. No party, not even Halliday or AI, can circumvent guardrails placed on a task. This is an essential unlock for blockchain businesses who have been eager to integrate AI into their applications.

For the vast majority of work, you’ll never have to write a smart contract again. Agentic workflows can handle a wide variety of tasks, including advanced scheduled and event based actions. Furthermore, Halliday is a general-purpose platform, allowing you to define any flow you’d like.

Define the following with ease:

• A one-time contract call.
• A cross-chain swap.
• A multi-chain recurring payment with smart routing and up-to-date price information.

The magic of all of this is that each workflow, irrespective of the complexity, requires no infrastructure from you.

Agentic workflows are forward-composable. As new protocols, VMs, and chains launch, you do not need to perform integration and infrastructure work to use them. The platform will handle all this work for you. No changes to your code base. No re-architecture. No lost months. Co-evolve with the market.

Build breakthrough apps in hours, not years

Halliday lets you build breakthrough apps in hours not years. Matter of fact, we invite you to re-create many of the core features of our first party product, Halliday Payments, in hours not the years it took us.

Rest easy knowing the technology is already battle-tested. We’ve used a proprietary version of our workflow engine in production for over a year to power payments flows for ApeChain, Avalanche’s Core Wallet, Shrapnel, DeFi Kingdoms, Metis, and more. And, we have upcoming launches with Frax, Lens, Story Protocol, and more leading projects.

With Halliday, there are many use cases that would take years to build as an ASIP that you can now build in hours as an agentic workflow. Build the following in hours, not years:

• Recurring payments
• Liquidity & bridge aggregator
• Event-based or scheduled solver rebalancing
• Cross-chain NFT checkout
• Treasury management
• Yield optimizer

Furthermore, agentic workflows empower you to safely integrate AI into your blockchain business for the first time, enabling agents to perform actions tailored to your app. With Halliday Protocol, maintain full control, observability, and ship agentic blockchain products.

The era of agentic blockchain is now

The blockchain industry has been relatively isolated from AI, until now. It is readily apparent that agents will power the next evolution of software products irrespective of the technology vertical, be it big data, cloud computing, or blockchain.

Don’t stay stuck in two year development cycles as the agentic era dawns. Those who adopt AI in a safe, compliant, and efficient manner will offer superior experiences to their users. The rest of tech has gotten the message and has whole-heartedly embraced AI. Before we know it, the most used products will all be AI-powered or disrupted by AI-native businesses. It’s about time blockchain catches up. Halliday is here to assist, providing the guardrails and protocol needed for a safe and easy integration of AI on blockchain.

Backed by a16z and #Hashed, we have partnered with prominent developers such as ApeChain, Story Protocol and DeFi Kingdoms. Our team comes from Stanford, Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon, and has years of experience at the most recognized Web2 and Web3 brands in the world, including Alphabet, Meta, Netflix, Stripe, Compound and more.

As a technology, it is transforming transactions, enhancing security, and introducing new standards for transparency. Yet, when it comes to commerce, user experience and scalability challenges persist. This is where automation can enable blockchain to continue to scale while also delivering a unified user experience.

The Role of Blockchain Automation

Automation is key to streamlining blockchain commerce. We need a unified platform that handles token swaps, bridges, and onramps where users don’t need to worry about gas fees, juggling wallets, or managing balances across many chains. Automation takes care of these complexities, allowing users to focus on what matters: using blockchain applications.

Automating the blockchain experience eliminates unnecessary steps and reduces friction, simplifying user interactions with blockchain-based applications and facilitating increased commerce.

Why We Can’t Scale Without Automation

As of H1–2024, there are only 617 million cryptocurrency users globally, or only 7.5% of the world’s population. If we want blockchain to handle the next billion users, automation is key. Manual processes won’t hold up for the millions of new users who wish to interact with decentralized applications (dApps). The large number of manual workflows required to interact with blockchain experiences will result in bottlenecks, higher costs, and a frustrating user experience, resulting in user churn.

Automation is the solution. It is the key to overcoming user experience challenges in a multi-chain world. By automatically managing interactions across different blockchains, automation eliminates the need for users to manually route transactions, schedule operations, or figure out how to bridge and swap assets between chains. This not only reduces complexity and time-consuming processes but also enables businesses to handle more users seamlessly without increasing operational burdens. Automation ensures that users no longer have to manage their balances across multiple chains, providing a smoother and more accessible blockchain experience.

Cutting Through the Complexity with Halliday

Fragmentation is one of the most significant challenges in blockchain today. Assets and liquidity are scattered across multiple chains, creating silos that hinder user experience. A typical scenario might involve a user holding a custom token on an L3 chain, needing to bridge to the L2, swap to USDC, bridge to another L2, swap to another custom token, and bridge to an L3 — all while paying separate fees at each step.

This friction is a barrier to blockchain adoption, and Halliday aims to eliminate it. Our platform allows users to bring their existing balances — whether Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other token — and make seamless transactions. Halliday’s Commerce Automation Network handles the complexities of bridging, swapping, and fees behind the scenes in one click.

With Halliday, users can also effortlessly convert fiat into any cryptocurrency, whether interacting with appchains, custom blockchains, or any other platform. This simple user experience drives blockchain commerce, enabling chains to scale and onboard users without friction.

The Path Forward: Simplifying Blockchain for Everyone

Blockchain commerce is at a pivotal moment. The technology is ready to scale, but without simplifying the user experience, it will never achieve widespread adoption. Automation is the key to unlocking blockchain’s full potential.

That’s why at Halliday, we believe blockchain commerce should be as simple as using a debit card. By automating everything from token swaps to cross-chain transactions, we’re creating a future where blockchain becomes a standard part of everyday life, not a niche technology for enthusiasts.

The Future of Blockchain Commerce Is Simplicity

Blockchain commerce is evolving, and the next big leap will come from automation. As the space matures, it’s becoming clear that users don’t want to wrestle with the technology — they just want it to work. Automation is how we make that happen. Whether it’s reducing friction, solving fragmentation, or scaling up for mass adoption, automated solutions like Halliday are leading the way.

By making it easy for users to spend their first dollar on your chain, Halliday improves the experience and empowers the next generation of blockchain ecosystems to thrive.

About ApeChain

ApeCoin is an ERC-20 governance and utility token used within the APE ecosystem to empower a decentralized community building at the forefront of web3.

Halliday is building the Commerce Automation Network to enable any developer to connect their modular chain to commerce. Halliday saves you thousands of engineering hours with a unified interface and architecture and grows your volume by empowering users to spend, manage, and transact with ease.

Halliday makes powerful user journeys on modular chains possible:

• Day one access to on and off-ramps, enabling users to purchase native tokens without the friction of myriad bridge and DEX interactions.
• Swap from any chain to any token, allowing users to bring their existing balances to your modular chain.
• Purchase an NFT with one or more balances that may reside on different networks with a simple, one-click modal to power seamless mints.

These are just a few of many commerce workflows that the Halliday network provides.

Blockchain Commerce is Incomplete

Blockchain commerce, as we define it, refers to the exchange of goods or services facilitated by transactions on blockchain networks. One-click purchases on the blockchain — as we know them in Web2 — do not exist. As hundreds of new blockchains launch, each of them needs to be plugged into payment rails. The vast majority of these blockchains don’t support native onramps or have tokens traded on centralized exchanges, and many blockchains have unique gas tokens which must be acquired before transacting.

As blockchains have grown in popularity, execution has been fragmented to keep up with demand. Bridges enable data transfer between chains, but don’t address the cumbersome user experience of commerce: users have to handle gas, bridging, swapping, and retries all by themselves. Composability is unwieldy, resulting in multiple steps that leads to churned users and lost economic activity.

Commerce on the Blockchain is too Complex

If it is too complex for users to transact with applications, the ecosystem won’t grow. Yet currently, for the average user, it is prohibitively difficult to:

• Spend one dollar on a new modular chain. To spend a single dollar on a new DeFi protocol or an onchain game, users must overcome critical churn points such as acquiring gas tokens across networks, using a DEX, discovering and interacting with a bridge, etc.
• Spend balances across two or more chains to buy an NFT on a new chain. There exists a range of path-dependent options and steps required to make this happen. Each token a user wants to spend as part of the purchase potentially requires a unique set of bridges, DEXs, network interactions, and gas fee tokens.
• Spend on a recurring basis. Recurring payments demand that users repeatedly manage conversions, reserves, and routes as they move across chains. This is all manual work that need not be surfaced to users.

On top of the fundamental user challenges, the tooling and servicing around blockchain commerce simply does not support developers. Instead of working on their businesses, developers build integrations for countless services and protocols. This results in thousands of lost hours that could have been spent on their core product.

The Commerce Automation Network

The Halliday network is designed to coordinate and task solvers to carry out economic workflows, enabling commerce on the blockchain through enhanced user experience, developer experience, and a first-of-its-kind computing model designed for automated workloads.

Enabling Commerce through User Experience

• Streamlined user experience. The network offers users one-click commerce flows, empowering users to spend, manage, and transact easily.
• Multi-token processing. Developers can accept payments in any token from any blockchain, with settlements in the token of their choice. For example, USDC payments can be processed using Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin as input.
• Global payments. With the Halliday network, developers can accept any payment method from anywhere around the globe and convert it to a token of choice for payment of services. This includes credit cards, debit cards, ACH, and centralized exchange balances. Furthermore, partner on and off ramps are already available on the network.

Enabling Commerce through Developer Experience

• Ecosystem of automations to grow your TVL. Build knowing that an ecosystem of protocol participants are working day and night to reduce the friction of blockchain commerce to zero, raising your platform’s TVL and volume.
• Save time. Developers no longer need to keep up with the countless chains launched, establishing new routes and protocol integrations for each. In the Halliday network, experts are building solvers that integrate and automate the latest value-add services for developers and users in real-time.
• Uniform interface. Developers can write automations once and execute them on or across any number of networks, irrespective of idiosyncratic VMs, DEXs, bridges, etc. Halliday is a system designed from the ground up for the multi-chain world, alleviating the need for developers to change their code when new routes and financial services become available.

Enabling Commerce through Solver Experience

• Permissionless network participation. Halliday is a permissionless network that enables anyone to run their own solver to help users and developers connect to commerce.
• Build a scalable business. Bid for tasks and earn fees as a reward for completing work reliably and on time.

The Halliday network combines an intentional declarative programming framework with an auction system for solver task scheduling. After taking on a task, solvers are crypto-economically required to complete the intended outcome.

Solvers search for routes, construct paths, execute contract calls, and orchestrate protocol interactions on behalf of users. They stitch together multiple services, retry in the case of failure, handle gas payments, and tap into users’ balances regardless of the chain they live on.

Halliday has already built the first developer platform on top of the network: a fully-managed orchestration service, embedded checkout components, and a dashboard all of which combine to power commerce automation. The platform helps appchain developers convert users, making it easier than ever for users to spend their first dollar or token on an appchain.

A New Computing Paradigm for Programmable Commerce

Automations that run on the Halliday Proof-of-Stake network are programmed with a novel declarative computing paradigm, purpose-built to handle cross-chain and/or cross-block asynchronous execution. The system is a uniform interface for workflows across heterogeneous blockchain networks, invariant to the underlying virtual machine, bridge connectivity, or deployed smart contracts.

Halliday can be used to run many asynchronous computations, including single-chain multi-block automations, such as recurring/scheduled actions, and multi-chain, multi-block programs like a cross-chain protocol interaction that includes an intermediate swap and gas token acquisition. The ordering and the outcome of asynchronous computations are guaranteed, irrespective of whether one or one hundred networks are interacted with.

The Halliday system already powers real-world use cases and serves as a computing model for the advent of modular chains and increasingly sophisticated intelligent systems. Using Halliday, users can onramp to a new appchain, buy an NFT using five balances spread across five chains, or schedule a recurring deposit into a staking protocol based on data in an oracle event by simply submitting a declaration of the intended outcome to the network.

Powered by AI

The Commerce Automation Network functions as a programmable commerce layer, where automations can be carried out by procedural, AI, or human-in-the-loop systems.

As autonomous systems mature and the AI platform shift materializes, we believe much of modern software will be abstracted away by chat interfaces (i.e ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, etc.) and intelligent tooling featuring co-pilots (i.e. GitHub Co-Pilot, Google Gemini, etc.). The blockchain will be no different. We envision thousands of co-pilots interacting with networks, automating cumbersome tasks, and driving economic activity. Halliday provides a platform to coordinate such systems, providing a way for users to run and program trustless commerce automations.

The biggest problem Appchains face today is getting users to spend a single dollar. Despite the rapid advancements in blockchain technology and the growing interest in dApps, many potential users are still deterred by the complexity and unfamiliarity of the process. Native onramps are extremely rare, and cross-chain protocols are too complex for users to navigate easily. For those who are not crypto-native, it could take hours to get funds onto a new chain.

The Challenge: Complexity and Accessibility

One of the primary hurdles for Appchains is the onboarding process. Setting up a wallet, acquiring crypto, and transferring funds onto a new chain can be an overwhelming experience, especially for users new to the blockchain world. The absence of native onramps means that users must navigate multiple steps, including bridging and swapping assets across different chains. This convoluted process consumes time and opportunities for errors and security risks, discouraging users from taking the plunge.
