Warden · Invisible Protection
The world's highest precision invisible protection.
A GPS, cellular, and WiFi-connected intelligence module — and the platform that runs it — sealed invisibly within the assets you value most. You control it from your phone. Your data belongs to you, by encryption, not by promise.
Today, every digital asset worth protecting has a password. Tomorrow, every physical asset worth protecting will have Warden.
A stolen gun becomes a crime gun. Warden interrupts the pipeline.
Over 1,000 firearms cross from legal to illegal hands every day — and the theft-to-crime pipeline is essentially invisible to law enforcement. Warden is opt-in, owner-controlled, and voluntary: a private way for 80M+ owners to protect what's theirs, prove compliance, and cut liability.
Deter & secure
A protected firearm is a harder target — and secure tracking begins the moment it's set.
Recover
A years-long disappearance collapses to minutes — recovered before it's trafficked, sold, or used to cause harm.
Prove & assist
A continuous, exportable record for the owner; an opt-in live location for police instead of a cold serial trace.
One module. Every form factor.
Two provisional patents filed for firearms in Q2 2026 — PCT and utility filings before year-end. The hardware explicitly does not affect the function of any firearm it's embedded within.
| Timeline | Form factor |
|---|---|
| Now | Stock & AR-15 grip Fits rifle stocks and AR platforms today — America's most-owned rifle. Shock-resistance testing in progress. |
| Sept 2026 | Handgun Seamlessly integrated into the grip. Covers two-thirds of stolen weapons and opens entry to municipal & law-enforcement channels. |
| Q1 2027 | Full miniaturization Effectively invisible — small enough for any firearm form factor. Unlocks every use case. |
Warden began with a stolen watch.
At sixteen, our founder was robbed at gunpoint for the watch on his wrist. The watch was never recovered — and it offered a lesson far larger than the watch. Anything you value can vanish for good.
The same intelligence module, engineered to disappear inside the pieces you'd never risk — with zero effect on the function of the asset it protects.
Eleven years in the luxury watch industry, $20M+ in luxury assets sold, trusted by collectors, auction houses, and conglomerate-owned brands and retailers.
Firearms first — where the market and the risk are greatest. Watches follow as miniaturization compounds across the roadmap. Join the list to be first in.
From concept to production-ready.
Every layer validated in sequence. The foundational architecture is proven — the work now is the field beta and the path to scale. First production unit Q3 2026 · FCC/CE submission and platform live Q4 2026 · first units shipped Q1 2027.
Mil-spec build
Aerospace-grade tolerance. Miniaturized electronics with an embedded antenna, engineered for invisible integration at military-grade power.
Yours to command
Software you control from your phone, on an encrypted cloud platform. Data that belongs to you — by encryption, not by promise.
Zero interference
Hardware that explicitly does not affect the function of any device it's embedded within.
Protected ground
Provisional & PCT patents filed, with protection running through end of 2027. Utility filings before year-end.
