WARD Staking Is Live: Power the Network. Earn Rewards. Shape the Future.

Feb 13, 2026

Warden is building the foundation for the agentic internet, and $WARD is at the center of that foundation.

Today, staking is live.

This isn’t just about earning rewards. It’s about aligning with the long-term growth of the protocol, reinforcing network security, and participating in the evolution of Warden from day one.

What $WARD Represents

$WARD is the native utility token of the Warden ecosystem. It powers governance, supports staking, and functions as the gas abstraction layer inside the network.

If Warden is the infrastructure for agents and intelligent applications, $WARD is what makes that infrastructure sustainable.

Staking transforms $WARD from a passive asset into active participation.

Turn Conviction Into Alignment

When you stake $WARD, you delegate it to a validator, a network participant responsible for validating blocks and processing transactions. Validators keep the network secure and operational. In return, staking generates rewards as blocks are produced.

You remain in control of your rewards at all times. They accumulate continuously and can be claimed whenever you choose - fully or partially - with no minimums or hidden fees.

It’s simple. Transparent. Built for long-term participation.

If you ever choose to exit your position, you can unstake. After initiating an unstake request, your tokens enter a 14-day unbonding period before becoming liquid again. During that time, they no longer earn rewards, a mechanism designed to protect network stability.

Staking is flexible. But it’s also intentional.

  • Staked WARD now counts toward Launchpad Power, qualifying you for Agent Token Launchpad airdrops and allocations.

Staking as a Signal

Staking is more than yield.

  • It’s a commitment to network security.

  • It’s participation in governance.

  • It’s alignment with long-term ecosystem growth.

WARD staking strengthens the economic layer of Warden at a time when thoughtful structure matters more than short-term momentum.

The early phase of any protocol is about resilience. The choices made now shape what becomes possible later.

Reminder: Update on WARP & OG Stage 1: see article

  • Participants will receive a 10% bonus on their allocations when available, currently will not be able to stake, but still be counted for the Agent Launchpad Power.

Build With Us

The agentic internet won’t be powered by speculation alone.

It will be powered by aligned participants who secure infrastructure, support governance, and believe in the long-term vision.

WARD staking is live. Secure the network. Align with the future.
