Ancient8 Welcomes Halliday to its Ecosystem: Pioneering Blockchain Gaming Commerce

We are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between Ancient8 and Halliday, bringing innovative solutions to the intersection of gaming and commerce on the blockchain. Halliday, an innovative platform, connects games to commerce through its programmable ERC-4337 Smart Accounts. This partnership aims to provide developers with advanced tools for growing, monetizing, and retaining users, fostering the development of the next breakout hits on the blockchain.

The Halliday AppChain Wallet

Halliday connects your Appchain to commerce. It solves the problem of the first dollar spent on your chain, offering users a seamless onboarding experience and one-click acquisition and management of any asset on any chain. Halliday is the world’s first Appchain Wallet, leveraging its proprietary Account Orchestration layer to deliver simplified blockchain interactions, fostering growth and accessibility.

Onboarding

Revolutionizing user experiences, Halliday's Smart Accounts, built on the Account Abstraction standard (ERC-4337), introduce a novel approach. By allowing users on EVM chains to utilize smart contracts as wallets, the traditional need for External Owned Accounts (EOAs) is eliminated. This shift brings forth a new era of flexibility, security, and functionality to blockchain wallets.

Monetization

Halliday streamlines asset monetization through its Anychain Onramp and Direct NFT Checkout. Users can seamlessly acquire on-chain assets, facilitating the exchange between fungible and non-fungible tokens. The integration of these features directly within Halliday's Smart Accounts offers developers a hassle-free process to enhance their applications.
