Infrastructure and Application Layer Protocol for Intelligent Agents Warden today announced the completion of a $4 million strategic financing round, with a post-investment valuation of $200 million.
Unlike traditional venture capital-led financing, this round of funding for Warden is aimed at a select few strategic partners, all of whom are actively building products based on the protocol or in parallel with it, including 0G, Messari, Venice.AI, as well as core infrastructure providers and ecosystem contributors. This financing round reflects Warden's long-standing position: the construction of a sustainable network stems from deep collaboration with operators and users, rather than solely relying on capital-driven growth.
“For us, the significance of this financing round lies in who the investors are,” said Warden CEO Josh Goodbody. “We are not raising funds for the sake of raising funds. These are individuals and teams we are already collaborating with — they understand the problems we are solving and believe in the long-term path we are taking.”
The funds will be used to accelerate product development and support Warden's continued expansion of its agent capabilities in scenarios such as trading, automation, and programmable wealth management.
“Since the launch of the Messari AI Toolkit, Warden has been a heavy user of our platform and has recently started using our Signals product. We are excited to continue supporting the team in developing new features and expanding alongside their rapidly growing user base,” said Messari CTO Diran Li.
Warden has demonstrated early but clear signals of product-market fit. The platform currently supports approximately 20 million users, with daily active users reaching 250,000, having executed over 60 million agent tasks, and accumulating a total transaction volume exceeding $100 million. The annualized revenue is currently around $2.5 million.
“As an early adopter of Venice.AI, we are pleased to support them,” said Venice.AI CEO Erik Vorhees. “Warden's growth is a testament to their launch of the right product at the right time.”
Warden reiterates that this round of financing does not signify a shift towards an early venture capital-led financing model. The company will continue to focus on long-term product quality, open ecosystem participation, and building infrastructure that allows developers and users to securely and efficiently deploy agents in Web3, with the entire process being community-driven.
“Warden is building the consumption and distribution layer that the agent economy has been missing,” said 0G CEO Michael Heinrich. “By building on 0G, Warden gains a scalable orchestration and data layer designed specifically for agents, while 0G gains a flagship wallet and hub that brings hundreds of thousands of users directly into the ecosystem. Together, we are laying the foundation for the core agent economy in the crypto space.”
