Introduction to Warden
Warden Protocol
Warden Protocol is a full-stack purpose-built L1 blockchain designed for developers to build Intelligent Applications.
Warden creates a verifiable, AI-native blockchain where models are accessible to anyone and anywhere, their outputs directly powering smart applications.
These are our design principles:
Anything: Build without limits—our Intelligent Applications run seamlessly onchain and operate offchain, or vice versa.
Anyone: Developers on Cosmos, Ethereum, or Solana can build with Warden.
Anywhere: Warden is chain-agnostic and accessible everywhere.
Protocol layers
Warden is an AI-ready protocol with three layers:
Blockchain layer Warden lets users access responses from AVR Plugins onchain. AVRs are a universal and standard way for smart contracts to access any resource or operate offchain systems. Users can also build, publish, and monetize their AVRs. The blockchain level acts as a coordination, messaging, and provenance layer AVR creators.
Application layer Warden's developer platform features two smart contract platforms: EVM and CosmWasm. Application builders can create AVRs and use them to build the logic of their applications. Warden also provides custom infrastructure for AI-specific needs and interoperability tools allowing users to access AVRs from anywhere.
Intelligent Applications
An Intelligent Application is a smart contract integrating AI or any offchain logic. Unlike traditional contracts bound by static logic, Intelligent Apps unlock more dynamic user experiences: they are able to reason, adapt, and interact across onchain and offchain environments.
Warden allows integrating Intelligent Apps with AI, which will simplify front-ends, interpret complex data sets, adapt to environments, and reach intelligent decisions. At the same time, blockchain-enabled backends ensure high integrity data, decentralization, and automated execution.
Currently, we're focused on the following Intelligent Applications:
Smart Agents Warden Agents are smart contracts managed onchain. This makes them defensibly sovereign, autonomous, and non-custodial. In H2 2025, we'll launch Warden Buffett—a reference trading agent made with our own Agent Kit. It'll be the first truly autonomous, profit-generating entity that lives onchain.
Intelligent custody We believe that machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation will fundamentally reshape custody. AI will enable personalization, intelligent portfolio optimizations, and dynamic risk management systems. To build out this vision.
Warden AI Agents
Within Warden, AI is integrated on the verification and execution layers. Our verification layer uses blockchain, cryptography, and consensus to verify AI results are correct. On the execution layer, you can easily integrate AI with your application, protocols, and smart contracts, automating their execution across any chain.
Warden allows inference endpoints to create cryptographic proofs that verify that an AI model produced a specific output. These proofs are then verified on Warden's blockchain through a new consensus mechanism, ensuring AI outputs are not just delivered, but can be trusted.
Build with Warden
Here is what you can do with Warden:
Build an Intelligent Application Wardens are smart contracts integrating AI or any offchain logic. You can deploy EVM-compatible Intelligent Apps with Solidity or Rust & CosmWas
