The gap between ambitious marketing ideas and available budgets has held back agencies for too long.

With Nitrogen, that gap becomes a bridge—connecting clients with investor-driven support so campaigns can run at full potential.

A smarter, more collaborative future for performance marketing is taking shape.

[Leo Benakis @BenakiLeo]

Your audience is your strongest asset — now they can help move your brand forward. Nitrogen creates the bridge to fund your advertising campaigns.

You expand your impact with community support.

[CNO @Cno_dapp]

Nitrogen introduces a new market model where communities can support SMEs by funding their advertising efforts, transparently and securely.

It’s a shift from passive engagement to meaningful contribution — from “likes” to real alignment and shared upside.

This is how growth becomes collaborative.

This is how brands and communities move forward, together.

Feels great to see CNO getting recognized.
Small steps, big energy. 🔥

CNO Ranked #8 Among the Top 13 Fintech Companies in Greece — Why This Matters for the Future of SME Finance

CNO has been ranked #8 among the top 13 fintech companies in Greece in November 2025 by F6S, one of the global leading platforms for startups, accelerators, and innovation ecosystems.

For a company still in the pre-seed stage and building a dual dApp ecosystem on @hedera for SME financing and tokenization, this recognition is a validation that the market is paying attention.

Being listed among the top performers signals that:

CNO’s mission resonates: supporting SMEs with compliant RWA tokenization (Oxygen) and decentralized ad-funding (Nitrogen) addresses real, global pain points.

Our technology stands out: Hedera @hashgraph infrastructure, File Service + off-chain storage, and proof-based campaign performance create a unique competitive moat.

Our impact is visible early: even before openTestnet, the ecosystem sees CNO as a strong emerging player.

Just read an article about an illegal business operating in Greece and “crypto payments” was used by the journalist as an extra element to emphasise how illegal that business was. 😆 Greek crypto- influencers need to step up their influencing i guess 🙄

[Leo Benakis @BenakiLeo]

Crowdsourced funding + blockchain transparency = businesses and communities scaling together.

The future of finance is collaborative — and it’s just getting started.

[CNO @Cno_dapp]

Digital agencies deliver impact — but too often, clients’ limited budgets hold great ideas back.

Nitrogen changes that dynamic.

By enabling investors to support and fund SMB ad campaigns, Nitrogen helps your clients unlock the budgets they need to run larger, smarter, and more effective campaigns.

You focus on what you do best: creative strategy, performance, and measurable outcomes. Investors handle the funding.

Welcome to a new era where agencies scale without financial friction — and clients grow faster than ever.

"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free" is one of the most intriguing ideas about human existence. The question remains: does the “final form” of an abstract concept already exist somewhere, simply waiting for someone's "eureka" moment?

[Leo Benakis @BenakiLeo]

Nitrogen is not just a product. is a new technological paradigm where advertising meets blockchain and becomes an investable asset class.

This model could never exist in a Web2 environment.

[CNO @Cno_dapp]

Nitrogen introduces way for anyone to participate in a shop’s upcoming marketing campaign.

Investors contribute directly into a campaign vault and earn a share of profits when the campaign performs. Built on @hedera for verifiable, tamper-proof reporting.

living in a small village helps staying humble. Yesterday an old lady came by my house, knocked on the door and kindly asked if i could "fix her phone" because she heard that "I'm working in tech" and wanted to give me 10 euro. i said "it's on the house" and she left smiling

[Leo Benakis @BenakiLeo]

@hedera One of the best tools and one of the main reasons we chose Hedera for building @Cno_dapp products

Update: The CNO Platform has advanced to closed-testnet on the Hedera network, initiating onboarding for digital agencies, SMEs, and legal partners across global pilot programs focused on compliant digital capital flows.

[CNO @Cno_dapp]

For the past few months, we’ve been making progress on both the business and development fronts.

This week, we visited Amsterdam where we had the chance to engage in some very promising conversations.

Also, our fundraising round has already kicked off with positive momentum.
