Recently, it has become evident that the number of people mentioning Warden has significantly decreased.
The market is not doing well, and it's not just the retail investors suffering; these PreTGE teams are actually in a difficult position.
In many ways, Warden can be considered a very typical AI project in the crypto space.
1/ Classic job-hopping to go solo: out of four co-founders, three have backgrounds from Binance, and the four of them invested 6.5 million dollars to go it alone.
2/ Classic concept adjustment: it initially set out to create a modular public chain but later pivoted to AI and intent; currently, it covers a wide range of sub-tracks, including on-chain identity, price prediction, and LLM agents.
3/ Classic self-funded startup: like Hyperliquid, Aster, and StandX, it has no external funding, and it is expected to distribute around 10% of tokens to the community.
As of now, the project's progress is quite smooth, excerpting the performance of the recently launched Warden mainnet.
1/ A total of 50 million Agent calls have been accumulated / 7.7 million on-chain proofs.
2/ 34 validators collectively support AI Layer1.
3/ Provides all Agents with ERC-8004 on-chain identity + programmable reputation system.
4/ Based on WardenChain, the Agent Hub is being built, and a prototype of the Agent version of the App Store has taken shape.
5/ Collaborated with Uniswap, Levva, Messari, etc., to launch usable Swap / DeFi / Research Agents.
6/ Launched incentives for developers up to 1 million dollars to encourage them to publish Agents on the Hub.
7/ The Agent Hub currently has accumulated over 12 million users.
According to the disclosed timeline, the Kaito S3 season is also nearing its end, and there is widespread speculation that the TGE will be this month or in Q1 26. It is unknown what decision the team will make.
