- W3.io has launched an agent-powered finance control platform on Avalanche, already processing more than 200,000 workflows per day.
- The Avalanche Foundation has made a strategic investment in W3.io, with additional integration partners expected in the coming weeks.
W3.io has gone live on Avalanche with a platform built for a problem enterprise finance is only starting to face properly: AI agents can now move money faster than old control systems can monitor it.
W3.io targets the control gap in automated finance
The New York-based company said its platform is already processing more than 200,000 workflows per day across five enterprise verticals. The product is designed to let companies build, automate and govern financial workflows on digital asset rails in a day, rather than spending months stitching together compliance tools, custody providers, payment systems and settlement infrastructure.
The Avalanche Foundation has made a strategic investment in W3.io to support the rollout. Terms were not disclosed.
The pitch is fairly direct. Enterprise finance is becoming more automated, with AI agents able to execute payments, rebalance positions and move capital with less direct human intervention. But most internal governance systems were built for static workflows, not software agents making financial decisions at speed. That creates a control problem. W3.io wants to sit in that gap.
“Agents are moving money faster than enterprise controls can follow,” said Porter Stowell, CEO of W3.io. He said one integration can connect a business to every financial service available on the network.
Avalanche leans into institutional rails
The choice of Avalanche is not accidental. The network has spent the past few years building a more institutional profile, with activity across enterprise, public sector and financial market infrastructure. Its ecosystem includes integrations linked to major financial names such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, Citi, KKR, Apollo and Franklin Templeton.
W3.io says its platform aggregates modular services including payments, custody, compliance and settlement into unified workflows. Partners connect once, then become available across the network.
For Avalanche Foundation Chief Investment Officer Matias Antonio, the investment reflects a bet on agent-powered finance as a coming shift in money movement. The next test is less about the concept, more about whether large institutions are ready to let automated workflows run closer to production capital.
