Teneo March Recap

News & Updates

April 7, 2025

March 2025 was a month of engagement, security enhancements, and ecosystem expansion for Teneo. From community-driven initiatives to technical improvements, we’re thrilled to share the latest progress with you.

Teneo Content Challenge: Community Voices in Action

Throughout March, the Teneo Content Challenge encouraged users to share their unique perspectives on the future of decentralized data. With over 1,500 participants across 𝕏, Medium and YouTube, the initiative sparked powerful storytelling around data ownership, network participation, and real-world applications of the Teneo Protocol.

The top entries stood out for their depth and creativity—one explored how individuals unknowingly generate value online while corporations reap the benefits, another broke down the network mechanics in a sharp, visual thread, and a third walked viewers through Teneo’s mission with a dynamic video explainer.

While selecting winners wasn’t easy, what stood out most was the community’s ability to translate complex ideas into clear, empowering narratives. Take a look at the top-winning entry.

Teneo Ambassador Program: Growing the Ecosystem

We launched the Teneo Ambassador Application, giving passionate users the opportunity to advocate for decentralized data ownership and educate new users about Teneo. This program will play a crucial role in expanding our reach and fostering an informed, engaged community.

Teneo Academy: New Chapters Unveiled

After a successful launch in February, we have expanded our learning initiative, Teneo Academy, with the release of two new chapters:

Chapter 3: A deep dive into the Teneo ecosystem and decentralized data.
Chapter 4: A focus on real-world use cases of the Teneo Protocol, showcasing its growing impact across industries.

But the Academy is more than just reading material—it’s an interactive way to level up your understanding and contribution to the network.

How to participate:

Read each chapter on Discord to learn key concepts.
Take the quiz at the end to test your knowledge.
Earn a special Teneo Academy role in Discord and showcase your expertise to the community.

Whether you're new to Teneo or looking to deepen your knowledge, the Academy is your gateway to becoming an active contributor in the AI Agent Network.

Machine ID: Strengthening Security & Enabling Decentralized Identity

Security and transparency are at the core of Teneo, and in March, we took a major step forward with the introduction of the Machine ID creation—an advanced verification layer that enhances network integrity while reinforcing user sovereignty.

By linking your device directly to the Teneo network, Machine ID goes beyond traditional security measures. It aligns with broader Decentralized Identity (DID) principles, enabling users to establish a self-sovereign identity within the ecosystem. This means:

No centralized intermediaries—your verification is tied to your device, not a third party.
Greater control over participation—your Node proves activity directly on-chain.
A transparent way to boost rewards—your contributions are verifiable and recognized automatically.

This feature isn’t just about securing the network—it’s about empowering users to participate on their terms, reinforcing Teneo’s mission of decentralizing data ownership. Creating a Machine ID sets the foundation for a more open, transparent, and trustless system—one where you own your identity, activity, and rewards.

A Machine ID is more than just a unique identifier—it’s your extension’s passport into a trustless ecosystem. Backed by peaq’s decentralized identity (DID) framework, it ensures your node is recognized, verified, and able to interact with the broader network securely and autonomously.

Here’s how to activate yours:

Connect your wallet and ensure your node is actively running via the Teneo Dashboard.
Create a Smart Account – this links your digital identity on-chain.
Wait for the Smart Account to initialize – this usually takes a few seconds.
Create your Machine ID – this step will mint your unique identifier directly on the peaq network.
Done. You can now view and manage your Machine ID in your Teneo Dashboard.

No forms. No manual claims. Just automatic, seamless on-chain verification.

Teneo Docs: Your Guide to the Ecosystem

On March 13, we launched Teneo Docs, a comprehensive knowledge base designed to help users understand the Teneo ecosystem, data ownership, and network participation. Whether you're new to Teneo or an experienced contributor, this resource serves as a valuable reference point—and it's only the beginning.

Teneo Docs lays the foundation for our broader vision, providing essential insights into:

The power of decentralizing data access and why it matters.
The core principles driving Teneo and the impact we aim to make.
How the Teneo Community Node operates and reshapes industries.
The team and mission behind Teneo’s growing ecosystem.

But knowledge shouldn't be static. Teneo Docs will continue to evolve, with updates, deeper dives, and new contributions from both our team and the community. As we push forward, we invite you to be part of this process and help shape the knowledge base.

Stay tuned for more updates, insights, and ways to contribute.

Celebration of our 2-year collaboration with peaq

To celebrate our 2-year collaboration, peaq - the Layer 1 for the Machine Economy - decided that users who created a new Machine ID in the Teneo Dashboard receive 2 $PEAQ tokens—automatically and instantly. No forms, no claims—just seamless rewards for taking part in decentralizing real-time data access.

This is just the beginning. We’re committed to bringing more value to both new and existing users, ensuring that everyone benefits from their participation in the Teneo. With GetReal Season 2 on the horizon, $PEAQ tokens will play a bigger role in upcoming incentives and engagement opportunities. Stay tuned—there’s more to come.

Teneo Dashboard: Performance & Feature Upgrades

The Teneo Dashboard saw significant refinements this month, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive user experience. Key improvements include:

Enhanced Performance – Faster response times and improved dashboard navigation.
Refined Connectivity Streak Widget – Optimized tracking for users maintaining consistent node uptime.
Referral System Upgrades – A more transparent and rewarding referral structure.

Looking Ahead

As we move into April, expect more ecosystem expansions, feature enhancements, and engagement opportunities:

Teneo Ambassador Program Growth – Onboarding the first batch of ambassadors.
More Teneo Academy Content – New chapters and interactive learning experiences.
Technical Optimizations – Further performance improvements and security reinforcements.

We appreciate our incredible community for driving Teneo’s mission forward. We do not take you for granted.

Let’s keep building together!
