From Golden Beginnings to Silver Scale: Teneo Protocol Opens Testnet Access
Teneo Protocol, a decentralized AI agent network, has officially opened access to its testnet through the new Silver Ticket program. This marks a transition from the limited early-access phase (the Golden Ticket) to a broader, open enrollment. The Silver Ticket now serves as the gateway for anyone to participate in Teneo’s decentralized intelligence network.
Golden Ticket Phase: Early Access Foundations
Earlier this year, the Golden Ticket system bootstrapped the testnet with a controlled group of early adopters. Each Golden Ticket was an NFT invite that granted entry to the AI Agent Testnet, helping establish a foundation of active testers and trusted participants. While effective for initial testing, the closed nature of Golden Tickets meant broader access demand from the wider community remained unmet.
Silver Ticket Launch: Open and Fair Access
With the testnet maturing, the Silver Ticket has launched as the next chapter. Silver Tickets are free-to-mint NFTs (gas fees only), non-transferable, and limited to one per wallet. Unlike the scarce Golden Tickets, Silver Tickets have no supply cap, opening the doors for unlimited new participants. This shift ensures a level playing field with no gatekeeping or resale — every participant can claim their place by minting their own Silver Ticket.
Golden Ticket holders remain fully eligible; their early access passes are still honored. But going forward, new entrants will come through Silver, expanding the network from a golden start-up phase to a silver scale-up phase.
Joining the Testnet: How It Works
Obtaining a Silver Ticket and joining the Teneo testnet is designed to be straightforward. Participants must complete a checklist of onboarding steps:
- Connect a wallet to manage credentials
- Verify X (Twitter) and Discord accounts
- Create a unique Machine ID
- Subscribe to Teneo updates
- Mint the Silver Ticket NFT
Once the checklist is complete and the Silver Ticket NFT is in your wallet, your account is whitelisted for testnet access. At this point, your browser node is activated, and you can begin contributing to the decentralized data swarm.
Inside the Decentralized Intelligence Network
Opening the testnet to everyone is about more than just numbers. Each participant’s browser runs an AI Agent that performs continuous real-time data processing tasks. These agents conduct autonomous information retrieval, structuring the open web and delivering real-time signals. Data is processed at the edge (in your browser) and synced to the network, with no centralized servers involved. The result is a living mesh of edge-based cognition powering a new kind of distributed AI infrastructure.
Community-Driven Growth and Rewards
The move from Golden to Silver reflects a philosophy of community-driven growth. Every Silver Ticket minted represents an empowered community member contributing to the network. Participants earn Teneo Points for keeping their node active, processing data, and inviting others. These points are a precursor to future value in the network and give contributors a head start in the ecosystem.

What’s Next for Teneo?
The Silver phase is just the beginning of scale. With new campaigns, more diverse data types, and expanded rewards planned, Teneo’s roadmap points toward a fully decentralized intelligence protocol. By opening the testnet, the project is harnessing the power of the community to build a globally distributed AI network where knowledge is sourced from the many and rewards flow back to contributors.
