They are building the future of DePIN by decentralizing the data layer. It’s incredibly simple: install the Beacon App, stay connected, and start earning rewards.
Why I’m bullish on Teneo:
✅ Seamless setup (no expensive hardware needed) ✅ High-value data utility
✅ Strong community-driven incentives
The data revolution is here, and you shouldn’t leave money on the table. Join the movement, contribute to the network, and start mining today! 🚀

The Teneo CLI setup guide for Hermes is live.
Hermes is @NousResearch's AI Agent
They recently released their desktop app.
You either need a Nous Portal subscription or an API key: OpenRouter, Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic or similar.
From there it's four steps:
1) Create a local folder
2) Paste the folder path into Hermes
3) send the one-line install prompt
4) Hermes runs the CLI and confirms when it's installed.
The exact command is in the tutorial.
Once installed, you can list and query 50+ Teneo agents in plain English: scrape social data, swap and bridge tokens, and pull on-chain data.
Some agents are free; paid queries settle per call in USDC via x402.
You can also connect Hermes to Telegram, Discord, or Slack and run those agents straight from chat.

Season 1 rewards have been distributed!
The full $2,000 pool went out to every Season 1 winner in addition to all the fragments you earn for running the Beacon!
Community Vote:
We also put it to a community vote: keep continuous rewards for node runners, or not.
You voted to keep them.
So they stay.
Beacon runners keep earning, and we want to keep it that way!
Three things worth doing now:
1) Keep your Beacon running. It earns the whole time it's on.
2) The referral campaign is still live: you earn 8% of every direct referral's Fragments and 2% from their referrals.
3) Make sure to try the ever evolving array of agent infra that the team at Teneo Protocol are building!
Season 2 is already underway with another $2,000 pool.
New on the Teneo blog: the next in our series on how individual Teneo agents actually work.
This one: the Instagram agent.
Most tools that pull public Instagram data charge a flat monthly fee.
The Teneo Instagram agent charges per returned item.
Five operational commands: profile, posts, post, comments, and hashtag. Public profiles, recent posts, single-post metadata, comments, and hashtag feeds, returned as structured output you can route into the next step of a workflow.
It's online, and every command settles through x402. The catalog lists a $0.01 base price, with item-priced commands billed per returned item, and the signed total comes from a live quote before anything runs.
Two ways in:
1) Install the Teneo CLI in one command through Claude Code, Codex, or any AI coding agent. The exact npx command is in the blog post.
2) Or find the agent directly on the Agent Console at https://t.co/jqacFFCe6j.
The full post covers all five commands, the public-data limits (no private accounts, DMs, or login-walled content), and a CLI gotcha worth knowing before your first call:

The Teneo CLI now installs from inside VS Code.
No AI coding agent required. Just the integrated terminal.
Open a folder as a workspace.
Run the command!
What you get: 50+ Teneo agents callable from the terminal. Free agents respond immediately. Paid ones settle per query in USDC over x402. No API key. No monthly plan.
Same one-command install already works through Claude Code, Codex, and Anti Gravity.

What are you using the CLI with?
Teneo runs on more feeds than this one.
Announcements, demos, and the shorter visual stuff land in different places depending on the format.
Follow whichever ones you'll actually open:

We left X off. You're here already 🫡
Season 1 winners have been drawn!
$2K in USDC rewards is now moving to distribution.
Rewards will be sent to the EVM wallet connected to your Teneo app or Expedition Hub account.
Before payouts go out, open the app or Expedition Hub and confirm your wallet is connected and correct.
Rewards are scheduled to be sent latest next week .
Teneo Beacon v0.4.6 is rolling out.
If your node was going offline overnight on Android 15+ and you couldn't figure out why, this one is for you.
That crash is patched.
Three fixes in this build:
- Android 15+ relay crash fixed. The one that was taking the node offline daily without warning.
- Send Feedback now works before your first connect. Report issues from first launch, no live session needed.
- Background reliability improved across the board.
Rollout is automatic. Desktop gets it within ~30 minutes. Android rolls out through Play Store over 1–7 days. iOS via TestFlight.
Keep your Beacon running!
Season 1 prize pool: the community gets to choose.
Not the team.
Teneo paid out $2,000 in Season 0.
Season 1 has another $2,000 pool.
Three ways to split it, same total in every option, only the split changes:
1) Same as Season 0. 346 winners, $500 top prize
2) Flat ladder. 348 winners, $100 top, $5 floor
3) Broadest reach. 706 winners, $100 top, widest spread
Pick the option you think looks best. Closes in 24 hours. Whatever the community picks, ships.
Vote!: https://t.co/9br5WMFrWx
Just over 2 hours left in Season 1 of Phase One!
💎How many Fragments did you collect?
The prize draw happens soon after close. We'll notify you in the Teneo Beacon app.
🔖Quick reminders:
> Always keep your Beacon running
>Make sure your EVM wallet is connected.

Quick note to anyone running a Beacon.
Uptime is the whole game!
Not bandwidth, not hardware, not which region you're in. Just whether your node is on when an agent asks.
Every 8 hours the Boost Cycle resolves. Miss it, you don't just lose that window. You lose the streak that pushes your Beacon Power from 1.00x toward 3.00x.
The operators sitting at 2.5x+ didn't get there by running hot weeks and cold weeks. They got there by not stopping.
It's the most boring rule in DePIN: the node that runs is the node that earns.
Leave it on, claim every 8 hours. That's the job.
Check your Beacon today.
If it's been idle, restart it before the next cycle.
Make sure to tune in to this spaces later with @leagueoftraders and our own Head of Marketing @Sarut0biSasuke
Happening at 2pm UTC
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
