A $4.0M seed round has landed for Birdai Labs, Inc., a New York and San Francisco-based startup working on market infrastructure that aims to rethink how value is discovered, priced, and distributed in real time.
The round was backed by Castle Island Ventures, Metalayer Ventures, and The Venture Dept. Birdai is focused on a new category for MEV distribution-the value that can be captured in blockchain transaction ordering-merging economic efficiency with emerging regulatory frameworks. The company describes its mission as bringing structure and transparency to systems where value is currently fragmented and unevenly captured, operating at the intersection of distributed systems, market structure, and applied cryptography.
