Introducing the Warden Agent Kit: Building Autonomous Smart Contract-Native AI Agents

Web3 is at a turning point. As AI capabilities expand exponentially, developers face a crucial challenge: how do we leverage the power of AI while keeping all the good of Blockchain like - decentralization and immutability? Today, we're excited to announce the Warden Agent Kit—a comprehensive toolkit that empowers developers to build, deploy, and scale onchain AI agents with unprecedented capabilities on the blockchain.

Why Build Agents on Warden?

While several platforms offer ways to connect AI with Blockchain, Warden stands apart through its groundbreaking ability to evaluate AI model outputs directly from smart contracts. This isn't just about connecting AI to blockchain—it's about making AI truly native onchain.

Smart Contract-Native AI

The most exciting breakthrough in the Warden Agent Kit is the ability to use AI model responses directly within smart contracts and trigger actions based on these outputs. This means your agents can:

  • Execute smart contract logic based on AI model outputs

  • Consolidate multiple model outputs together in a single transaction

  • Create sophisticated automated strategies using AI inferences

  • Build truly autonomous systems that make decisions onchain

  • Interact with users via simple “connect a wallet” functionality

Hybrid Agent Architecture: OnChain + OffChain Coordination

Different from any other agent infrastructure, Warden agents have a smart contract that lives, in perpetuity, onchain. This means they can be discovered, utilised and coordinated onchain. Under the hood, Warden agents leverage a hybrid model:

  • OffChain AI Processing: Uses LangChain-based orchestration for task refinement, social interactions, and community engagement. Build agents that can interact with users, participate in community discussions, and process social signals before execution

  • OnChain Execution Layer: Ensures verifiable, trustless operations

For the first time, developers can build agents that integrate AI directly into their smart contract logic, enabling entirely new categories of applications that users can interact with in a non-custodial way.

Secure Key Management with Keychains

Our innovative keychain technology provides enterprise-grade key management:

  • Keychain private keys are never exposed on environment variables

  • Secure transaction execution across all major EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Optimism)

  • Safe handling of complex multi-chain operations

`

The Agent Kit includes everything developers need to build production-ready applications:

  • Smart Contract Integration: Use AI model outputs directly in your contract logic

  • Cross-Chain Infrastructure: Native support for all major EVM chains and 100+ blockchain networks

  • Advanced Security Features: Built-in intent verification and guardrails

  • Simple and Easy to Use Developer Kit: Complete with TypeScript definitions

The Dawn of Decentralized Autonomous Agents

This release marks a crucial milestone in the journey toward truly decentralized autonomous agents. Users will be able to connect their wallets to agents that work tirelessly on their behalf, executing complex operations across multiple chains with all the security guardrails that Warden Protocol provides. Imagine having a personal AI agent that can:

  • Monitor and respond to market conditions 24/7

  • Execute sophisticated trading strategies across multiple DEXs on any EVM chain

  • Manage your DeFi positions with precision

  • Automate complex cross-chain operations

All while maintaining the highest standards of security and user-defined constraints.

The Road Ahead

The Warden Agent Kit is just the beginning. Our roadmap includes:

  • Expanded model integration capabilities: Enhancing support for a broader range of AI models to improve versatility and performance.

  • Ability to call any on-chain and off-chain data using the x/async module: Leveraging the x/async module to access and process both on-chain and off-chain data, enabling more comprehensive and informed AI-driven decisions.

  • End-user connectivity to agents to manage their assets in their wallets: Facilitating direct interaction between users and AI agents, allowing users to oversee and control their assets within their wallets seamlessly.

  • Advanced multi-agent coordination features: Implementing sophisticated coordination mechanisms among multiple AI agents to achieve complex tasks and optimize performance.

  • Enhanced cross-chain composability: Improving interoperability across various blockchain networks, allowing AI agents to operate seamlessly in a multi-chain environment.

  • Fully Decentralized Autonomous Agents: Developing agents that operate entirely autonomously on the blockchain, without centralized control, ensuring trustless and efficient execution of tasks.

In particular, the x/async module in the Warden Protocol enables asynchronous execution of off-chain computations while ensuring results are stored and validated on-chain. It allows complex AI-driven tasks to be processed off-chain, preventing blockchain congestion while maintaining security and reliability. A Future represents a computational task submitted by users, which is executed by Prophets—validator-side processes responsible for running computations and verifying submitted results. Once validated, results are stored on-chain and can be accessed by smart contracts, enabling AI-driven agents to make informed decisions. This module is particularly useful for autonomous AI agents requiring resource-intensive computations, such as price predictions, market analysis, or strategy execution.

This module significantly enhances decentralized AI applications, providing trustless, efficient, and scalable smart contract interactions.

Join the Future of Smart Contract AI Agents

The convergence of AI and blockchain isn't just about connecting two technologies—it's about making AI a native part of smart contract logic. With the Warden Agent Kit, we're providing the foundation for this future.
