In order to remove the requirement for writing smart contracts, Halliday introduced the first Agentic Workflow Protocol, a new platform that enables AI bots to securely communicate with blockchain applications. This protocol is the first to provide high-level, flexible programmable workflows for smart contracts that AI agents may carry out on their own while adhering to rigid, immutable guardrails.
Conventional smart contracts are inflexible, costly, and sluggish. To accommodate new features, they need to undergo months of audits and modifications. These limitations are eliminated by Halliday’s protocol, which lets developers create blockchain apps without writing new smart contracts for each use case. The Agentic Workflow Protocol simplifies development by offering a single programming paradigm, which drastically lowers the amount of backend infrastructure development.
Developers must integrate decentralized apps across an increasing variety of protocols, chains, and services as blockchain adoption grows. Developers are burdened by the intricacy of blockchain ecosystems, spending years on infrastructure and integration work instead of developing core products. By enabling developers to specify on-chain operations in a high-level programming paradigm, Halliday’s Agentic Workflow Protocol solves inefficiencies and drastically lowers development timelines and operational costs.
Agentic workflows, which are tasks with immutable guardrails that enable AI autonomous systems, agents, and software to carry out activities on behalf of users while maintaining safety and compliance, are introduced by Halliday’s approach. This makes it possible for developers to easily automate on-chain operations across smart contracts. Zero-trust AI delegation ensures security and compliance by allowing AI agents to securely complete blockchain transactions within predetermined parameters. Instead of using low-level contract code, developers may specify processes in well-known high-level languages thanks to a unified programming architecture. Additionally, Halliday manages the execution logic across several services and chains, and pre-built integrations eliminate the need for new infrastructure.
Griffin Dunaif, CEO of Halliday stated:
“In shifting the paradigm from smart contract development to agentic workflows, we are bring blockchain in the agentic era. This is a major step forward for businesses looking to integrate AI and blockchain, allowing developers to build applications in hours not years.”
In order to make development quicker, safer, and more scalable, Halliday’s protocol was built to be forward-composable and future-proof. This means that processes automatically adjust to new protocols and virtual machines without the need for expensive updates.
The agentic workflow protocol is being pushed out during Q2 and is now in early access. The Q2 early access program is open to developers that want to use agentic workflows.
The first Agentic Workflow protocol, Halliday, enables developers to delegate work to software or agents that operate independently. With Halliday, one can develop ground-breaking apps in a matter of minutes rather than years. The first-party application developed on top of the protocol, Halliday Payments, provides a comprehensive payments experience that allows users to move from fiat to cryptocurrency, crypto to cryptocurrency, and crypto to fiat—the whole money cycle on a new network. They have collaborated with well-known projects including ApeChain, Story Protocol, and DeFi Kingdoms, and are backed by a16z and #Hashed.
