HAL (HAL.XYZ), a digital asset management platform designed to simplify blockchain data querying and automation, announced the completion of a $3 million seed funding round. The round was co-led by CoinFund, Eden Block, and Animoca Brands, with participation from billionaire hedge fund manager Alan Howard's Piquet Ventures, Hashkey Capital, imToken Ventures, SkyVision, Wintermute, Bitcoin.com, and crypto angels including GMoney and Darren Lau.
What is HAL? Simplifying Blockchain Data Automation
HAL is a US-based digital asset management tool that helps developers, protocols, and companies query, trigger, monitor, and automate blockchain data. The platform features over 40 pre-built DeFi “recipes” that allow users to listen to on-chain data—such as gas fees and blockchain transactions on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche—and convert it into actionable insights. To date, HAL has served more than 7,000 crypto individuals and professionals.
The company's mission is to bridge centralized and decentralized platforms by enabling anyone—not just developers—to automate and query blockchain data. Use cases range from real-time gas fee tracking and transaction monitoring to triggering cross-platform notifications on Twitter, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more.
Investor Perspectives: Driving DeFi and GameFi Infrastructure
“We are thrilled to support HAL and their innovative vision to simplify and democratize blockchain accessibility and workflow integration,” said Evan Feng, Director of Research at CoinFund. “By building a platform that services both TradFi and DeFi users across varying levels of distributed ledger familiarity, HAL is executing towards their clear concept for the converging future of these two worlds.”
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented: “Playing games has evolved from a leisure activity to a lifestyle, and now it is transforming into a means to earn an income, particularly for players in developing economies. As the GameFi space continues to grow, the solutions provided by HAL become increasingly important.”
Lior Messika, founder of Eden Block, added: “As DeFi and Web3 applications continue to explode in value and utility, the space as a whole is converging around automation, efficiency, and built-in composability. HAL is substantiating itself as a true enabler of multiple evolving use cases, by offering core infrastructural services to DeFi, Web3, and many other up-and-coming disruptive use cases.”
Future Plans: Expanding Team and Entering Finance & Gaming
“We make it easy for individuals and organizations to transform multichain data into actionable data. DeFi was our genesis, and we are excited to expand our solutions to the finance and gaming industries,” said Marco De Rossi, President and co-founder of HAL. “By providing an easy-to-use and friendly experience, our goal is to remove blockchain data access friction for all individuals and organizations so they can access trillions of dollars of digital value over the next decade and beyond.”
HAL will use the proceeds to expand its team to 30 people, launch new industry solutions for finance and gaming, and secure additional partnerships. The platform aims to address the lack of digital asset management solutions in DeFi and blockchain gaming, particularly for trading, compliance, and governance workflows.
