The list visually reinforces the post's critique that most AI is gated by corporate accounts and API keys, aligning with Warden Protocol's HALO whitepaper goal of building an open market beneath intelligence rather than just a token on top of it. > > "The HALO whitepaper just dropped,, Most Crypto × AI projects put a token on top of a chatbot. @wardenprotocol is trying to put an open market under intelligence.... Here is the problem :: Using top AI models still depends on company accounts, API keys, supported cards and" ### Post #2 by @Hydraze420 > **Author:** Hydraze ([@Hydraze420](https://x.com/Hydraze420)) > **Metrics:** 279 likes · 5 retweets · 32 comments · 14.6K views > **Posted:** 2026-08-04T12:26:41+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/Hydraze420/status/2084617016527179842](https://x.com/Hydraze420/status/2084617016527179842) > **Video Content:** [video-unavailable: could not fetch or sample] > > "Exciting times today for everyone involved with @wardenprotocol as they launch their new hero product HALO.

The interface supports the post's claim about Halo's usage on Base, displaying token volume and model statistics that demonstrate the platform's real-world adoption. > > "I usually lose interest when an AI project starts with token economics before proving anyone needs the product. @wardenprotocol Halo caught my attention because the order is different. It has already been running on @base for months: → 7.6B+ tokens served → 261 models + 75" ### Post #4 by @0xgilllee > **Author:** Gilmo ([@0xgilllee](https://x.com/0xgilllee)) > **Metrics:** 54 likes · 6 retweets · 30 comments · 3.8K views > **Posted:** 2026-08-04T17:22:36+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/0xgilllee/status/2084691487342903728](https://x.com/0xgilllee/status/2084691487342903728) > **Video Content:** [video-unavailable: could not fetch or sample] > > "I kinda forgot how hyped I was about @wardenprotocol during the InfoFi era.

The weird part? Access to it is still controlled by a handful of companies. That's the problem @wardenprotocol is trying to solve.
