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.
Season 2 winners are in!
706 winners, all verified accounts, each with a winner card.
Every winner confirms their payout wallet right on the card, at the moment they win. So the address is always current when the payout goes out, not one you set months ago and forgot.
Once it's confirmed, the payout is queued and lands within 72 hours.
Season 2 ran on the broadest-reach split the community voted for: more winners, wider spread, all the way down to the $2 floor.
If your Beacon was running through the season, this is what it was running for.
Keep it running.
Season 3 is already in progress!
Season 2 has ended. The $2,000 pool is locked, same as Season 1.
Winners are drawn from everyone who ran a Beacon through the season.
We're finalizing the draw now and will announce winners here shortly. Nothing more to do to be eligible: if your node was running, you're in.
One thing that doesn't stop: your Beacon keeps earning Fragments the whole time it's on, season or no season.
So leave it running.
Winners soon.
Keep your Beacon running!
Update your Teneo Beacon App!
A lot of you are still running an older build of the Beacon app.
If you haven't updated in a while, do it now!
Newer builds carry the Community Node 2.0 fixes and sync improvements. An out-of-date Beacon connects less reliably, which means it spends more time not earning.
Updating is the difference between a node that runs clean and one that quietly drops off.
Update from your app store or the native installer. Reopen it and check it's back online.
Keep your Beacon running!
What Teneo shipped in June, with the numbers:
- Beacon passed 300,000 registered users.
- Season 1's full $2,000 pool paid out to every winner.
- The community voted to keep continuous rewards for node runners, and Season 2 is live with another $2,000.
- $AGENTIC announced: your Points, Fragments, Discord roles, and NFTs consolidate into one permanent, non-transferable on-chain allocation, claimed to your wallet.
- The 2026 roadmap went live: B2B onboarding, a more powerful CLI, exchange and market-maker prep, TGE from Q4.
- Community Node 2.0 landed. Beacon is now a native app on Android, iOS (TestFlight), Windows, macOS, and Linux, not a browser extension.
- The Expedition Hub is now one click from every page on https://t.co/fXL5njpt78.
- More setup guides for installing the Teneo CLI: Cursor, VS Code, Manus, Antigravity, Hermes, Claude Code and Codex.
Next up Season 2 rewards to be announced!
What else will July bring?
Keep your Beacon running!
The narrowest agent on Teneo returns more in one call than most agents do in five.
The @MessariCrypto agent has one command and supports two coins. But details BTC hands back the full readout in a single request: price, market cap, dominance, 24h OHLC, ROI across 24h / 7d / 30d / 1y / YTD, supply, and the all-time high down to the cycle low. More than 20 fields, about 310ms, straight from Messari.
The label says $0.0025 a query. We ran it and watched the wallet: $0.0035 actually left, the base price plus the x402 facilitator fee. The CLI quotes you the real total before you sign anything.
One honest catch: BTC and ETH only. Ask for a third coin and you get an error you still paid for. Validate the symbol before you spend.
Full teardown on the blog: what one call returns, what it really costs, and four agents worth stacking it with.

You can now open the Expedition Hub from anywhere on our website!
We added an Expedition Hub button to the top menu, on every page.
The Expedition Hub is the one place to manage everything you do on Teneo:
- Check your nodes
- Finish quests
- Invite friends and earn an 8% bonus
- See your rewards in real time
- Use the same login as your Beacon app.
We are also moving the old Dashboard into the Hub, step by step.
Once everything is in one place, the Dashboard will close.
You will not need two separate sites anymore.

PopLab Alpha Test Notes 002🤖
This week, we continued refining the core trading experience across chart visibility, position management, and workspace customization.
These updates are part of our ongoing effort to make PopDEX smoother, more intuitive, and better aligned with the needs of active traders.
As we move toward the next phase of testing, we’re focused on improving every detail that matters before mainnet access opens up.
Smoother flows. Better control. Building and popping with traders.
Teneo Beacon just passed 300,000 registered users!
It crossed 100,000 node runners on 26 May. The base has kept climbing since.
AI agents are only as good as the data they can reach.
Most run on stale, centralized, paywalled feeds.
Teneo's data layer is the opposite: 6.5M community nodes feeding 760+ agents that have processed 1.5M+ paid queries via x402.
No API keys.
No rate limits.
No gatekeeper deciding what AI gets to see.
If you're one of the 300K, keep your Beacon running!
If not, start one or deploy an agent → https://t.co/NApnrUn5Y4
Your weekly reminder: keep your Beacon running.
It earns Fragments every hour it's on, but the part that compounds is Beacon Power.
Boost on schedule and your multiplier climbs toward the 3.00x cap. Miss a window and it drops 10% on the spot.
That's the whole game: a couple of skipped days can undo a week of progress, so consistency beats catching up.
A Beacon is the supply side of Teneo Protocol. It turns your unused bandwidth into the data layer our AI Agent framework runs on.
Check yours is still on.
Keep your Beacon running!
