Overview
Company Does Not Provide H-1B Sponsorship
Halliday provides a buy now, pay later (BNPL) service for blockchain gaming, enabling players to acquire in-game assets like NFTs in installments. It can be integrated into games so transactions occur within the game UI, with Halliday financing purchases and earning a share of each sale. The offering is distinguished by its focus on web3 gaming and NFTs, combining fintech rails with digital asset sales inside games. Its goal is to lower barriers to entry, help developers acquire and retain players, and expand NFT adoption in blockchain games.
