Warden Protocol kicks off its TGE on January 22nd, and the narrative here is pretty compelling. We're looking at $2.5M in annual revenue already flowing through the system, 17M users actively engaging with the platform, and zero venture backing—which is massive in this space.

Here's where it gets interesting: the founders bootstrapped the entire operation themselves, putting in $6.5M of their own capital to construct this AI agent infrastructure layer. The result? 50M interactions already processed through the system. That's not theoretical—it's real volume from real users.

The funding structure matters more than people realize. Because there are no VC investors sitting on token bags, you don't get the inevitable dump that happens at TGE when early backers take profits. This is an infrastructure play in the agent space, and the token mechanics reflect that different risk profile.
