Brief Analysis of the Cause of Anomaly

- WardenApp and BasedAI integration announcement (released at 03:01 on May 14, 23 hours ago): Warden's founder and Venice AI ($VVV) co-founder jointly established BasedAI, driving a 500% surge in WARD on BSC chain and trading volume reaching $12.7 million.

- News of partnership with Venice (11 hours ago): Strengthening the narrative of AI agents and cross-chain applications.

- HALO P2P Computing Marketplace launch (5 hours ago): Building a P2P market for AI inference, charging a 3.3% fee on each payment, which is used for WARD burning. 3.7 million tokens have been burned. Growing demand may intensify deflationary pressure.

Market Views and Outlook

The mainstream sentiment in the community is positive. On platform X, WARD is seen as the “alpha of the week” and identified as a top AI infrastructure gainer. The 24-hour price increase exceeded 569%, with founder collaboration and the burn mechanism receiving praise. The future outlook favors burn and growth driven by usage rate, but analysts caution that the low market cap and low liquidity amplify volatility, resulting in profit-taking pullbacks after the surge (with over 20% drop in the last 24 hours). It is advised to pay attention to the progress of Halo alpha going live on the Base chain.
