We've raised $18.5M to make the internet more verifiable and rewarding: a $6M Pre-Series A led by @1kxnetwork with participation from @cbventures, @EV3ventures, @circle_ventures, @FinalityCap, and @socialgraphvc โ plus a $12.5M non-dilutive strategic investment from @verona_dev.
The internet has an authenticity problem. Brands pay for clicks that may not be real, while real people create value they rarely get paid for.
We've built a different model โ one where what's real gets rewarded, and the people who power the internet finally earn from it.
Technical, identity, regulatory, and institutional innovations are all part of the tokenization movement on display at @TokenizeThisNYC.
Opacity is proud to sponsor and open the gates for more access to strong assets across global public networks.
With ero being public just over a week we'd love to hear your thoughts!
How are you liking the ero app? How much in rewards have you made so far?
There are many more missions, features, regions and updates to come in the future, we look forward to bringing them to everyone.
The Internet's Reward Program is just getting started.

No friction.
Just a seamless experience.
"In the 90s, ETFs emerged as a superior instrument that essentially ate mutual funds. Tokenized funds are just better instruments than ETFs and will do the same to ETFs as ETFs did to mutual funds.
That's when we'll know we've found PMF."

Congrats to the @earnOS team on the launch of ero!
Proud to power EarnOS with the wallet infrastructure necessary to make onchain rewards accessible to millions of users.
A new way for brands to engage verified users and reward real online actions, secured by Turnkey.
The internet is more than 50% bots. Verified data is increasingly scarce.
@verona_dev (formerly $XION) just raised $18.5M and launched @earnos_io to flip the model: get paid when brands use YOUR data.
