Warden Protocol's Halo product is a peer-to-peer marketplace where participants run AI inference requests for onchain agents and are paid in USDC — a decentralized, BitTorrent-like model for compute rather than a fixed-endpoint gateway. Public materials cite early public-alpha volume figures for Halo. No independent check of throughput, participant count, or payment flows has run for this seed batch.
