Season Update: Indonesia Pool 🇮🇩
$1,000 USDC from this season's reward pool is reserved exclusively for Beacon runners on Indonesian IPs.
Your share is based on uptime, so the more consistently your Beacon runs, the bigger your cut.
Eligibility is tied to genuine connections in Indonesia.
Full mechanics drop this week.
If you're in Indonesia, get your Beacon running now.

What if your Beacon bandwidth paid for your VPN?
Right now, Beacon nodes share unused residential bandwidth with the network.
That bandwidth already looks a lot like what a VPN needs: real connections, in real places, all over the world.
So we're asking ourselves: instead of paying for a VPN with a monthly bill, could you pay for it with the bandwidth you're already contributing?
Still very early. Nothing to download, no launch date.
We wanted to share it while we're building it, not after.

Live AMA with OpenX Network tomorrow, Tuesday July 28 at 15:00 UTC.
Our Head of Marketing @Sarut0biSasuke joins @AshtonH to talk decentralized AI and DePIN from the operator side: what it takes to run a network with hundreds of agents live in production, community nodes supplying the data, and every query settled in USDC over x402.
Bring questions about running a Beacon, building on the Go SDK, or where the agent economy goes next.
We'll take them live.
Most of our blog posts show what ONE Teneo agent does.
This one shows what happens when you chain TWO of them into an actual workflow.
Our Head of Marketing @Sarut0biSasuke runs meeting prep using Hermes from @NousResearch
- Every 10 minutes it checks Google calendar
- For any attendee it doesn't know, it calls the Teneo LinkedIn Agent (enrich_url <url>) for who they are
- Then the Teneo X Agent to find their project's X account
- Then it drops a one-page brief before the meeting starts.
The cost:
LinkedIn enrichment costs $0.006/query, X context from $0.002/query, both settled in USDC over x402 on Base.
For ten meetings a week, three attendees each, it will set you back about a dollar a month.
Sales Navigator is $100+/month and still makes you do the reading yourself.

DEXScreener Teneo Agent:
Most data agents on Teneo answer a fixed question. Ask the Messari agent for BTC, you get a BTC readout.
The @dexscreener Tokens Scraper doesn't answer a fixed question at all. It hands you a filter box.
Two commands:
1) chainname (solana, ethereum, bsc, or chain/DEX like ethereum/uniswap)
2) filterargs, which takes a DexScreener URL query string. Build any screen on https://t.co/VhoRm5kyiZ, copy everything after the ?, and pull it through the CLI as one paid call. A whole filtered screen comes back, not one coin: price, liquidity, volume, market cap, and price changes for every pair.
Base price is $0.0018/query, settled in USDC through x402. Read the live quote for the real total.
One catch worth the whole post: filterargs is free text and you're billed on dispatch. A mistyped or empty-result filter costs the same as a good one. Confirm the screen on the site before you wire it into anything.

Running a Teneo Beacon is what keeps the network online.
Agents query live data, enterprises route through real residential IPs, and both depend on nodes that stay up.
Three reads if you run one, or are thinking about it:

Keep your Beacon running!
Run Teneo Beacon on desktop or mobile.
Share unused bandwidth, keep your device online, and earn rewards for participating in Teneo’s live AI agent network.
Beacon nodes help collect public web data that agents can use to answer real queries across the network.

and of course don't forget...
Keep your Beacon running!
Two decentralized networks solving the same problem from different angles:
- The problem: agents need real data, not synthetic data.
- Teneo's Solution: The Beacon turns community devices into nodes collecting public data so builders can deploy agents that query it through x402 micropayments.
- Vangrid's Solution: Vangrid does the equivalent for 3D spatial capture.
Different data, same architecture: distributed collection, no single point of failure, no centralized data provider to shut it down.
Good pairing for anything that has to reason about the physical world!
Most people install Beacon, leave it on, and stop there. That works, but it leaves a lot on the table.
The network pays for one thing: uptime.
Everything else multiplies it.
A few tips from the new guide:
- Run it overnight while your devices charge. The node earns while you sleep, and on mobile, screensaver mode keeps it going with the screen black.
- Boost every 8 hours. Your Beacon Power climbs toward the 3.00x cap, and a missed window decays it 10%. The first 10 boosts are the cheapest gains you will get.
- Run multiple devices on different networks. Fragments are earned per IP, so a phone on cellular is a separate earner from your desktop on wifi.

Season 3 ships with real-connection verification, and it changes who can compete.
The network now sends small verification tasks to each node to confirm it's a genuine connection. That blocks fake IPs and bots people were using to inflate their scores.
Two results:
1) The network runs more stably
2) The Leaderboard reflects real nodes doing real work instead of accounts gaming the system.
Season 3 also runs for 60 days, longer than prior seasons.
More time on a cleaner field means genuine participants compete on level ground, with better odds than when exploiters were padding the board.
This is the fair-field version of the competition.
Keep your Beacon running.
