Halliday Brings Instant, Embedded Payments to Story, Unlocking Seamless Access to IP Tokens

Halliday, the onchain Workflow Protocol, has integrated its flagship payment solution with Story to make it easier for developers and creators to access Story’s IP token. Through this integration with Halliday Payments, users can now purchase tokens directly from the Story Foundation website using familiar payment methods like credit or debit cards, without the need for additional crypto wallets, bridges, or token swaps.

Traditionally, web3 protocol onboarding requires users to manage multiple steps, including going offsite, navigating fiat onramps, bridging assets across networks, and swapping tokens. This complexity often leads to delays and user drop-off, especially for those unfamiliar with blockchain tools.

Halliday Payments reduces the lengthy onboarding process to just seconds by streamlining these processes within the Story Foundation’s gateway. The system orchestrates payment routing, asset bridging, and gas fee management, enabling users to acquire tokens in a single, integrated flow while maintaining non-custodial control. For Story themselves, Halliday Payments will save months of development time onboarding additional onramps and bridges — the IP token will automatically be available as Halliday Payments onboards new solutions.

This integration is critical to lower the barrier to entry for creators and developers looking to participate in Story’s onchain IP ecosystem — enabling them to register, protect, and build on intellectual property in the age of AI, without the friction of traditional fragmented crypto infrastructure.

“Web3 is suffering from a usability problem,” said Griffin Dunaif, CEO of Halliday. “Creators and developers shouldn’t have to learn how to bridge or swap just to access the tools they need. Their users shouldn’t either. With this integration, Halliday Payments is helping Story make its IP ecosystem far more accessible and intuitive for the next wave of builders.”

Halliday Payments is designed to give users direct, seamless access to any crypto token from any interface, without giving up control of their assets. By embedding at the protocol layer, Halliday allows networks like Story to offer a simplified experience while preserving decentralization and user ownership.

As the demand for real-world use cases grows for seamless token utility and integration, Halliday is providing the tools developers need to build frictionless, user-friendly web3 applications.
