Birdai Labs Bags $4m to Boost Onchain Trade Execution

  • August 2, 2026
  • Crypto

Birdai Labs, a developer of neutral market infrastructure for digital assets that measures, verifies, and improves how trades execute on high-performance CRYPTO / BLOCKCHAIN, has secured $4 million in seed funding led by Castle Island Ventures, with participation from Metalayer Ventures and The Venture Dept. Founded and self-funded by Kevin Farrelly (previously of Random Forest Capital, acquired by Franklin Templeton in 2018) and Greg Scanlon (former senior quantitative trader at Citadel), the company runs its own base-layer infrastructure to capture a ground-truth picture of how transactions are timed, sequenced, and propagated, giving it the ability to verify improvements directly against the chain. The raise arrives as the fastest blockchains shift to multi-proposer architectures that splinter control over transaction ordering, pushing execution quality to the forefront of institutional DeFi competition.
