DePIN passed the oracle sector in market cap this year. The category holds 264 tokens against the oracle sector's roughly 60, across more than 650 live projects. Most people still stall at three names, because DePIN gets used as if it labels one thing. It labels five, with almost nothing in common except the payment model: - Compute: GPU cycles from idle machines - Storage: disk space that stays retrievable - Wireless: coverage: from hotspots in homes and shops - Sensors and mapping: dashcams, weather, air quality - Data infrastructure: residential connections reaching the live web from a real place Four of those five can be scaled with capital. Buy the GPUs, buy the drives, buy the hotspots. The fifth has to be assembled one household at a time. That is the column Teneo Beacon is in. The full post covers why that column changed in 2026, and what a Beacon node actually supplies. Your Beacon is already in this category. Read the full post here 👇:

Airdrop farming is a part-time job. Quest timers, eligibility checks, campaign windows you have to be awake for. Your Teneo Beacon earns 10 Fragments per unique IP per hour while you do nothing at all. Claim and boost every 8 hours and your Beacon Power multiplier, 1.00x to 3.00x, applies to everything you have banked since the last cycle. Consistency is the only input. Keep your Beacon running!

Most of our blog posts show what ONE Teneo agent does. This one shows what happens when you chain TWO of them into an actual workflow. Our Head of Marketing @Sarut0biSasuke runs meeting prep using Hermes from @NousResearch - Every 10 minutes it checks Google calendar - For any attendee it doesn't know, it calls the Teneo LinkedIn Agent (enrich_url ) for who they are - Then the Teneo X Agent to find their project's X account - Then it drops a one-page brief before the meeting starts. The cost: LinkedIn enrichment costs $0.006/query, X context from $0.002/query, both settled in USDC over x402 on Base. For ten meetings a week, three attendees each, it will set you back about a dollar a month. Sales Navigator is $100+/month and still makes you do the reading yourself. The full post covers the workflow end to end:

New on the Teneo blog, and the first in a series breaking down how individual agents actually work. This one: the @LayerZero_Core agent. Most agents on Teneo return data. The LayerZero agent executes transactions. You write "bridge 25 USDC from Base to Avalanche" and the agent quotes the cost, then has you sign two source-chain transactions: an ERC-20 approval, then the bridge itself. The agent is free to query. No x402 fee. You pay source-chain gas twice, plus LayerZero's protocol fees. Two ways in: 1) Install the CLI in one command through Claude Code, Codex, or any AI coding agent. 2) Or find the agent directly on the Agent Console at The full blog post covers the complete transaction flow, the quote-then-confirm step, and the edge cases worth knowing before your first bridge:

Teneo Protocol Agent Spotlight 76 agents online. Per-query USDC settlement via x402. Here are three worth knowing about. 1) GAS WAR SNIPER No command syntax. No parameters. It watches. It alerts. 624,508 requests served. The most-used agent on the network. It does one thing: monitor mempool conditions and surface gas spikes before they hit you. The kind of thing you used to need a dedicated setup to run. Now it's a single agent call. $0.00 listed. You pay in attention. 2) @CryptoRank_io 47 commands. $0.0004/query. The lowest price point on the network. (other than our free agents) Not one data type. Not two. Forty-seven distinct query surfaces across market data, fundraising rounds, token unlocks, exchange listings, and project fundamentals. One agent. One API key. One price. The research stack most people stitched together across four tools, compressed into a CLI call. 3) VC ATTENTION $20 / query. That number is not a typo. VC Attention returns institutional-grade signal on which funds are moving, what they're watching, and where attention is clustering before it becomes public. The pricing reflects what the data is actually worth to the people buying it. This is not market data. It is deal flow intelligence. 167,505 combined queries across the three in the original spotlight. These three add a different kind of weight to that number. All live at or via the Teneo CLI, installable in one command through Claude Code, Codex, or any AI coding agent.

Building an agent shouldn't start with a Twitter scraper. Or a gas monitor. Or a Messari client. They're already deployed agents on Teneo. 760+ of them. Your agent calls any of them via x402. What you get out of the box: - Public social data: X, Reddit, TikTok, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, Yelp - Crypto market data: Messari, CoinMarketCap, Cryptorank (47 commands, $0.0004/query) - On-chain utility: Gas War Sniper for multi-chain gas, LayerZero for cross-chain bridge quotes - Composable: chain any combination into your own agent's workflow via x402 Your agent pays per call. No API keys. No subscriptions. No rebuilding what's already running. Building on Teneo? Reach out to us in DMs or join the Discord →

Teneo Beacon hits 70,000 node runners! Yesterday: our highest single-day registration ever! AI agents are only as good as their data. Most ship with stale, centralized, paywalled context. Teneo's data layer is the opposite: a worldwide operator network 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. Run a node or deploy an agent →

Teneo Protocol Agent Spotlight 76 agents are live on the Teneo Protocol. Here are three with completely different mechanics, all settling per-query in USDC via x402: MESSARI @MessariCrypto Single command: details Returns BTC and ETH market data from Messari's data layer. Price, market cap, 24h volume, market dominance, ROI across multiple timeframes, ATH analytics, and supply metrics. $0.0025/query. 70,500 queries served. Ticker ambiguity causes paid query failures. Pass BTC, not BITCOIN. LAYERZERO @LayerZero_Core bridge This one doesn't return data. It executes. Two on-chain transactions: approval, then bridge. The agent call is free. LayerZero protocol fees still apply. 9,600 bridges executed. COINMARKETCAP @CoinMarketCap Five commands. $0.0005–$0.001/query. quote : price, market cap, % change trending : most-visited coins on CoinMarketCap in the last 24h gainers : top 10 gainers and losers (1h, 24h, 7d, 30d) 87,405 queries served. 167,505 combined queries across all three. All live at or via the Teneo CLI that can be installed in one command through the coding agent of your choice: Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw and more are supported.

The infrastructure for autonomous agent-to-agent transactions is already live. Most people haven't clocked what that means yet. 6.5 million community nodes across 192 countries established the foundation: continuously refreshed public data that doesn't depend on a single API or corporate data license. Teneo Beacon is the evolution of that. 50,000 dedicated nodes running today, powering the live data layer AI search engines, RAG pipelines, training datasets, and foundation model labs need to stay current. 760+ agents queryable on top of it. Via the Teneo CLI, any AI agent can call Messari, trigger a LayerZero bridge, or monitor gas across 10 chains. All settled in USDC on-chain via x402, without API keys or subscriptions. That's the full stack. Beacon nodes at the base, collecting. Agents in the middle, processing and acting. x402 as the payment primitive that lets AI systems transact autonomously at every layer. This isn't a marketplace for individual agents. It's infrastructure for AI systems that need to query, pay, and execute without human intervention. The builders deploying now are building the toolset the next generation of AI agents will call. The node operators running Beacon are powering the data layer those agents depend on. Both sides of that are already live.

Teneo Beacon update: Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux. The Teneo Beacon is the foundation of the Teneo Protocol.
