Warden, as the infrastructure and application layer for agents, today announced the completion of a $4 million strategic financing round, with a valuation of $200 million.

Unlike traditional venture capital-led funding rounds, Warden's financing comes from a small group of strategic supporters who are actively building or collaborating with the protocol, including 0G, Messari, and Venice.AI, as well as core infrastructure providers and ecosystem contributors. This round of financing reflects Warden's long-term stance: enduring networks are built through deep coordination with operators and users, rather than merely relying on capital-driven growth.

Warden CEO Josh Goodbody stated, "This round of financing is significant for us because it comes from a specific group. We are not raising funds for the sake of raising funds. These individuals/teams are partners we have been working with for a long time—they are builders who understand the problems we are solving and believe in the long-term approach we are taking."

The funds will be used to accelerate product development and support the ongoing expansion of Warden's agent capabilities in trading, automation, and programmable wealth use cases.

Messari CTO Diran Li remarked, "Since its launch, Warden has been a heavyweight user of the Messari AI toolkit and has recently started using our Signals product. We are excited to continue supporting the team as they build new features and scale within their rapidly growing user base."

Warden is showing early but meaningful signs of product-market fit. The platform currently supports approximately 20 million users, with 250,000 daily active users, has executed over 60 million agent tasks, and has processed over $100 million in cumulative transaction volume across various products. Current annualized revenue is approximately $2.5 million.

Venice.AI CEO Erik Vorhees stated, "As an early adopter of Venice.AI, we are excited to support them. Witnessing Warden's expansion is a clear example of 'launching 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 funding model. The company will continue to focus on long-term product quality, open ecosystem participation, and building infrastructure that enables developers and users to deploy agents securely and effectively in Web3, fully driven by the community.

0G CEO Michael Heinrich stated, "Warden is building the consumer and distribution layer that has been missing in the agent economy. 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 largest agent economy in the crypto space."
