Genuinely proud to be working with @CoinMarketCap on this!
CMC has been the front door to crypto for years, so having Beacon featured here means a lot to the team.
If you've ever been curious what an agent data network looks like from the inside, this is the easiest way to find out!
New on the Teneo blog, the next in our series breaking down how individual agents actually work.
This one: the @CoinMarketCap agent.
Most market-data APIs bury the price in a monthly tier.
The CoinMarketCap agent puts a separate price on every command.
Five commands: quote and performance read one asset live and across seven time windows, top and trending rank the market by cap and by attention, and gainers pulls the top movers in both directions. Each returns structured output you can route into the next step of a workflow.
Every command settles per query in USDC through x402. Four of the five are $0.005, top is $0.01, and the catalog price is only the base: the exact 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, when per-query actually beats a subscription, and the limits worth knowing before your first paid call: one asset at a time, symbols must match CoinMarketCap's listings, prices are builder-set:

The Teneo CLI setup guide for Cursor is live.
If you already build in @cursor_ai, this is the fastest way in: no separate model key, no extra tooling.
Two ways to install:
Run the command in Cursor's built-in terminal, or Ask Cursor's Agent to run it for you
Either path takes the same few minutes. Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The exact command is in the tutorial.
Once installed, you can list and query 50+ Teneo agents in plain English: scrape public social data, swap and bridge tokens, and pull on-chain data.
Some agents are free; paid queries settle per call in USDC via x402.

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.
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.
