British Virgin Islands, Tortola, January 22, 2026, Chainwire

Warden’s valuation reaches $200 million, fully committed to building the next-generation wallet for the intelligent internet.

As an infrastructure and application layer for intelligent agents, Warden announced today the completion of a $4 million strategic financing round, valuing the company at $200 million.

Unlike traditional VC-led funding, this round’s capital comes from a select group of strategic supporters actively involved in protocol development, including 0G, Messari, Venice.AI, and other core infrastructure providers and ecosystem contributors. This round of financing reflects Warden’s consistent stance: a persistent network requires deep collaboration with operators and users, rather than purely relying on capital-driven growth.

“The significance of this funding round lies in the background of the investors,” said Josh Goodbody, CEO of Warden. “We are not raising funds just for the sake of fundraising. These investors are long-term partners who understand the problems we are solving and agree with our long-term development strategy.”

The funds will be used to accelerate product development and support Warden in continuously expanding its intelligent agent capabilities in scenarios such as trading, automation, and programmable wealth management.

Li Diran, CTO of Messari, stated, “Warden has been a core user of our Messari AI toolkit since its release, and has recently started using our Signals product. We are pleased to continue supporting their team in developing new features and expanding their business alongside their rapidly growing user base.”

Warden is demonstrating early but significant product-market fit. The platform currently serves approximately 20 million users, with 250,000 daily active users, over 60 million intelligent tasks executed, and cross-product total transaction volume surpassing $100 million. The current annual revenue is about $2.5 million.

Eric Voss, CEO of Venice AI, said, “As early adopters of Venice AI, we are pleased to support them. Witnessing Warden’s scaling development is a vivid example of ‘the right product at the right time.’”

Warden reiterates that this funding round does not signify a shift to an early-stage VC-dominated funding model. The company remains focused on long-term product quality, open ecosystem participation, and building community-driven infrastructure—enabling developers and users to deploy intelligent agents safely and efficiently in the Web3 space.

Michael Heinrich, CEO of 0G, stated, “Warden is building the long-missing consumer and distribution layer of the agent economy. Relying on the 0G platform, Warden has gained a scalable orchestration and data layer designed specifically for agents, while 0G has secured flagship wallets and hubs, directly bringing hundreds of thousands of users into the ecosystem. Both parties are working together to lay the foundation for the largest agent economy in the crypto space.”
