Tortola, British Virgin Islands, January 22nd, 2026, Chainwire
Valuation set at $200 million as Warden builds its Next Generation Wallet for the agentic internet.
<a href="https://wardenprotocol.org" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Warden</a>, the infrastructure and application layer for agents, today announced the close of a $4 million strategic round at a $200 million valuation.
Unlike traditional venture-led rounds, Warden’s financing was raised from a small group of strategic backers actively building with or alongside the protocol, including <a href="https://0g.ai" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">0G</a>, <a href="https://messari.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Messari</a>, and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Venice.AI</a>, as well as core infrastructure providers and ecosystem contributors. The round reflects Warden’s long-standing position that durable networks are built through deep alignment with operators and users, rather than capital-driven growth alone.
<blockquote>
 “This round is meaningful to us because of who it came from,” said Josh Goodbody, Warden CEO. “We didn’t set out to raise capital for its own sake. These are people and teams we already work with - builders who understand the problems we’re tackling and believe in the long-term approach we’re taking.”
</blockquote>
The funding will be used to accelerate product development, and support the continued scaling of Warden’s agentic capabilities across trading, automation, and programmable wealth use cases.
<blockquote>
 “Warden has been a power user of Messari’s AI Toolkit since launch, and more recently of our Signals product. We’re excited to continue supporting the team as they build new features and scale alongside a rapidly growing user base” said Diran Li, CTO, Messari.
</blockquote>
Warden is showing early but meaningful signs of product-market fit. The platform now supports approximately 20 million users, with 250,000 daily active users, has executed over 60 million agentic tasks, and has processed more than $100 million in cumulative trading volume across products. Annualised revenue currently stands at approximately $2.5 million.
<blockquote>
 “As an early adopter of<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Venice.AI</a>, we were excited to support them.” said Erik Vorhees, CEO of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Venice.AI</a>, “Watching Warden scale has been a clear example of right product at the right time.”
</blockquote>
Warden reiterated that the round does not represent a shift toward an early stage venture-led funding model. The company remains focused on long-term product quality, open ecosystem participation, and building infrastructure that enables developers and users to deploy agents safely and effectively across Web3, fully community driven.
<blockquote>
 “Warden is building the consumer and distribution layer the agent economy has been missing,” said Michael Heinrich, CEO of 0G. “By building on 0G, Warden gains a scalable orchestration and data layer purpose-built for agents, while 0G gains a flagship wallet and hub that brings hundreds of thousands of users directly into the ecosystem. Together, we’re laying the foundation for the largest agentic economy in crypto.”
