I was woken up by my phone again. It wasn't my ex-girlfriend calling me to get back together, but rather some "smart trading bot" reminding me: Dude, get up and confirm quickly, or the order won't go through.

To be honest, this is the real situation of most so-called "AI assistants" now:
They say it's fully automated, but in the end, the crucial step still requires you to manually confirm, enter the password, and sign.
Many still have to entrust the keys to the platform, either trusting the team or trusting the risk control, which is not much different in essence from those "quantitative custody platforms" a few years ago.

Later, I saw @wardenprotocol and felt that the thinking was completely different.
In simple terms, it's not about "creating a smarter Bots," but rather changing the underlying rules first:
Let AI truly "grow up" by itself.
In the Warden system, AI agents are not tools, but independent digital individuals.
Having the key oneself, being able to transfer across chains oneself, being able to verify logic oneself, and being able to collaborate with other machines.
The entire process does not require human intervention from start to finish, with no "trust the team" or "trust the platform" in between, only cryptography ensuring security.
You can think of it as:
In the past, the Bots were like housemaids working at your home, having to get your approval for everything;
Warden this set directly helps the Bots obtain business licenses, bank accounts, and contract permissions, allowing them to go out and take on work, settle accounts, and reconcile.
And we humans only need to set the rules and observe the results, no longer being woken up every day by "Please confirm again."

In the industry, many projects are actually working on smart wallets, multi-signature, and custody solutions.
Some focus on "more user-friendly MPC wallets", while others work on "script automation + risk control approval".
These are still mainly human-driven, with machine assistance, essentially reducing the operation from 10 steps to 3 steps.
But @wardenprotocol was not thinking this way from the beginning; it directly asked a more intense question:
If the future of finance is collaboration between machines, with humans only responsible for setting boundaries, what should the underlying network look like?
At this point, if you look back at @wallchain and then at Warden, you will notice the difference:
Others are adding some "smart features" to the current system,
Warden simply rebuilt a territory for the "agents," allowing them to have native identities and permissions on the chain.
For someone like me who is constantly tinkering with strategies, the most intuitive point is:
In the past, to execute cross-chain strategies and complex multi-step executions, one had to either write a bunch of scripts or rely on a certain custodial service.
The permissions are too few, and the Bots can't complete the work; if the permissions are too many, there is concern about malicious actions.

In Warden's logic, you can think of these AI agents as "programmable little companies":
Each small company has its own vault (key), processes (logic), and external cooperation rules (cross-chain permissions),
All actions leave traces on the chain, constrained by cryptography, rather than relying on the promise of "I swear I won't do evil."
