【Crypto World】AI agent infrastructure track has new developments. Warden, a protocol focused on agent capabilities, recently completed a $4 million strategic financing round, valuing the project at $200 million. Several well-known industry institutions participated in this round, including 0G, Messari, Venice.AI, and others.

It is understood that Warden mainly targets three areas to expand its agent capabilities. First, trading scenarios, using AI agents to help users optimize trading decisions; second, automation execution, enabling agents to autonomously complete a series of complex operations; third, programmable wealth management, providing users with more flexible asset allocation and management tools.

The newly raised funds will be used in two core directions: one to accelerate product development, and the other to deepen the expansion of agent capabilities within the three application scenarios mentioned above. From the lineup of investors, infrastructure projects like this are attracting increasing attention, and the integration of AI and Web3 seems to be becoming the next hot trend.

Good morning, yet another story of an AI agent harvesting, with a $200 million valuation but only raising $4 million. How is this price difference calculated? Robots help you trade, operate, and manage your money—sounds like a robot paradise, but in reality, it's just a new shell for sandwich attacks. With such rapid valuation inflation, I just want to see who will be the last to take the bait. Oh, wait, it's us. We will. Investing $4 million into development, so where does the remaining valuation come from? Is it just this? If agents can operate autonomously, will the gas wars turn directly into slaughterhouses within the arbitrage range? By the way, I didn't see some top-tier funds on the financing list. Which way is the wind blowing?

Another project with a $200 million valuation, this fundraising speed is indeed a bit outrageous. Huh? AI agents are starting to do wealth management too. If they can really automatically help me trade cryptocurrencies, that would be incredible. Wait, and @E5@ are both investing? That’s getting interesting. This track is definitely heating up. By the way, are these automated trading tools really reliable? Or just another hype concept. Warden? Never heard of it. All these projects have such generic names. Hmm, all three directions seem a bit ambitious, but can the products really come out? This fundraising amount is smaller than I imagined, but with a valuation of $200 million, the funding ratio is quite high. Feels like there’s new AI agent infrastructure funding every week. Is this a bubble or genuine demand? I’m exhausted. Yet another project claiming to change the world. Let’s see how long it can last.

Another valuation of 200 million, is this story true? Feels like recent funding news are all so outrageous AI agents are really popular, just worried about rug pulls What can $4 million in funding do? This valuation sounds suspicious I haven't heard of Warden, another project relying on hype to raise money? Programmable wealth management sounds good, but I wonder if it can actually be implemented 0G's institutional investors need to be looked at; they usually know how to make money Is this real? This round of funding seems a bit fishy Agent capabilities have been hyped for so long, finally a project is raising funds I'm optimistic about automation execution, but the difficulty of implementation is truly incredible

AI agency in this track does have some potential, but a $200 million valuation feels a bit inflated. --- Messari and other institutions are involved, indicating that some people are indeed optimistic about this direction. --- Automation execution is the most critical part; otherwise, it's easy to have setbacks. --- Both infrastructure and AI—everyone is now deploying this combo. --- Relying on AI for wealth management? I still have my doubts. Who will bear the risks? --- The funding amount isn't particularly large; it seems like the burn rate will be quite fast. --- Can this kind of agency agreement really be used, or is it just another paper concept? --- Both 0G and Venice have invested, which makes this combo interesting. --- What sounds good is product development, but it's really just more money burning and trial-and-error. --- Where is the ceiling of agency capability? Can someone explain?

Another project with a $200 million valuation, but this time Warden's logic is quite clear. AI agent management of assets is truly a necessity. The AI agent track is so competitive, Warden has received investments from 0G and Messari, it feels promising. Automated trading + wealth management, sounds good in theory, but can it really be implemented? Or is it just another PPT project? A $4 million funding round valuing the project at $200 million, this dilution... feels a bit risky for future funding rounds. Among Warden's three directions, the trading scenario seems the most reliable; the other two feel a bit superficial. The funds are genuinely used for product development, but can this type of protocol really be realized? It's both infrastructure and agent capability—when will we see a truly operational application? Everyone is working on AI Agents now, so what makes Warden stand out? This lineup is indeed impressive; 0G and Venice have also entered the scene, it feels worth tracking.
