This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features David Pinger from Warden Protocol

David Pinger envisions a future where AI and blockchain merge to enable trust-minimized, autonomous systems. Known for saying “blockchain isn’t for humans,” he challenges conventional thinking with a bold, machine-first perspective.

Warden Protocol is a Layer-1 blockchain designed for secure, verifiable AI integration with smart contracts and autonomous agents. It enables AI-driven applications to operate across multiple chains in a trust-minimized way.

We spoke to David Pinger about Warden Protocol and:
  • Decentralized trust minimized financial system
  • Converging of blockchain and AI
  • The shoes of the founder
  • Majority of startups fail
  • Blockchain as a panacea
  • Blockchain isn't for humans
  • Blockchain and AI can't naturally talk to each other
  • A wave of a new generation of applications
  • Exercise or go crazy
