Birdai Labs Secures $4 Million Seed Round for Onchain Trading Infrastructure
Birdai Labs has raised a $4 million seed round led by Castle Island Ventures to develop infrastructure that measures and improves on-chain trade execution. The company aims to create transparent, neutral market tools designed to return value to traders rather than extract it from them. As high-performance blockchains adopt multi-proposer architectures, the need for better transaction ordering becomes more critical. The funding will support senior engineering hires and expand Birdai Labs' infrastructure at the base of blockchain networks. The company was founded by Kevin Farrelly and Greg Scanlon, who previously worked in traditional finance and fintech ventures. They aim to apply data-driven insights from their experience into improving on-chain execution quality. Birdai’s approach is rooted in analyzing raw transaction data rather than relying solely on public APIs. By operating at the base layer of blockchains, Birdai can verify improvements directly against chain records, ensuring transparency and fairness for all participants.
