Introduction to Warden

The Warden Protocol​

The Warden Protocol is a L1 blockchain bringing AI to Web3 and enabling any application, protocol, or smart contract to integrate safe AI.

Mass adoption of Web3 requires the creation of safe and seamless AI experiences, and Warden empowers developers to achieve this goal.

AI Blockchain Interface​

Warden supports AIBI – Artificial Intelligence Blockchain Interface

AIBI brings AI on-chain with an intuitive interface for developers to integrate AI into their applications. Inspired by proof-of-computation and computational pipelines, AIBI allows inference endpoints to create cryptographic proofs that verify that an AI model produced a specific prediction. These proofs are then verified on Wardens’ blockchain through a new consensus mechanism, ensuring AI outputs are not just delivered, but can be trusted.

Within Warden, AI is integrated on two layers:

  • Verification layer
    Warden is designed to bring AIs on-chain safely. Our verification layer uses blockchain, cryptography, and consensus to verify AI results are correct.

  • Execution layer
    Easily integrate AI with your application, protocols, and smart contracts. Automate their execution across any chain.

Key protocol features​

Warden's key features allow creating a truly open AI experience:

  • AI-ready
    Warden allows you to easily integrate AI in your application and enjoy novel AI-driven Web3 experiences.

  • Simplified cryptography
    With Warden, you can easily develop Web3 applications with intent-driven key management.

  • Abstracted interoperability
    Build applications that allow aggregating multiple accounts for different chains and signing transactions at any destination chain.

Build with Warden​

Warden provides operator sets and integrations with leading wallets, explorers, bridges, oracles, and more, so developers can focus on what matters most: building products.

Here is what you can do with Warden:

  • Build an application
    You can build EVM-compatible Omnichain Applications (OApps) with CosmWasm. OApps are smart contracts that allow signing transactions at any chain. An example of an OApp is SpaceWard – our application functioning as the front-end interface for the protocol.

  • Operate a Keychain
    Keychains are custodians that generate and store keys and sign transactions. Since Keychains can sign transactions on virtually any chain, they help avoid manual cross-chain coordination.

  • Run a validator node
    You can run a validator node and earn rewards while securing Warden’s network.

  • Bring AI to your app
    Warden allows you to unleash new user experiences by integrating AI into your application, protocol, or smart contract.
