✨ It’s #ChainWatchThursday, and what’s new with @wardenprotocol as it advances its vision for verifiable AI infrastructure? 🤔 🏛 Warden has entered a new phase with the launch of the Warden Foundation, with a focus fully on developing Halo and expanding the role of WARD within the protocol. The move separates protocol development from the Warden App and concentrates resources on building decentralised AI infrastructure. 🤖 At the centre of this strategy is Halo, a peer-to-peer compute marketplace designed for AI workloads. Halo aims to enable decentralised access to compute resources, with execution verified through SPEX, payments settled in USDC, and infrastructure built on Base alongside ecosystem partners. 🔥 WARD is also being positioned more directly around network activity. According to Warden, protocol fees are designed to contribute to a deflationary model where increased usage can drive greater token burn, tying token utility more closely to activity occurring across the network. 🔄 The Warden App is simultaneously moving to a new home under the BasedAI team. Warden noted that the app operates independently from both the protocol and WARD, remains fully self-custodial, and that user funds continue to stay under users' control throughout the transition. The direction is becoming clearer: Warden is narrowing its focus around decentralised AI infrastructure, with Halo, verifiable compute, and protocol-level utility forming the foundation of its next stage of growth. #WardenProtocol #ChainWatch #AIxCrypto #DecentralizedAI #Web3 #BlockchainInfrastructure #WARD
