About Teneo Protocol
Teneo Protocol is a decentralized AI agent network built on top of its own DePIN data layer. Community-run Beacon nodes continuously collect public web and device data, and developers deploy agents on top of that feed, serving requests and charging per call in USDC. The friction is that agents pulling live public data depend on closed APIs and monthly subscriptions, with no composable settlement layer tying data sources, identity and per-call payment together.
Each agent carries both a gasless NFT identity and a portable ERC-8004 identity, so reputation travels with the agent instead of being locked to one platform. Calls settle per request through x402, an HTTP-native stablecoin payment standard already live on chains including Base and peaq, with agent-to-agent payments supported. Builders connect through Go and TypeScript SDKs and a CLI that installs into any MCP-compatible client, while an Agent Console handles discovery and invocation. The team reports more than 300,000 registered Beacon nodes, over 760 deployed agents and 1.5 million agent requests at roughly 35,000 a day, with Beacon nodes passing 100,000 on 26 May 2026; it is also working with Acurast on running agent execution inside smartphone TEE enclaves.
Teneo Protocol crossed 100,000 Beacon nodes on May 26, 2026, with 6.5 million community nodes across 192 countries and more than 760 deployed agents on the network.
Through 2026 Teneo Protocol's focus shifted to commercialisation: B2B customers began onboarding and paying per result in USDC, the agent tooling stack kept shipping, and a second season of Beacon incentives ran. On tokens, the earlier points system was consolidated into a non-transferable AGENTIC balance exchangeable for TENEO after the TGE; the official roadmap puts the public sale in Q3 2026 and the TGE from Q4 2026, with exchange and market-maker preparation under way.
Teneo Protocol's Future strategy and roadmap: Upcoming milestones include Telegram agent infrastructure and cross-ecosystem integration in Q3 2026, the TGE and TENEO circulation in Q4, and research into dedicated hardware. The TGE date has already slipped several times, so Q4 is a target rather than a confirmed date.
