Teneo has raised $3 million in seed funding, led by RockawayX and Borderless, with Generative Ventures among other investors, further accelerating the development of its decentralized data ecosystem.

3. Start Earning Points: Keep the extension online to accumulate points automatically once your node is connected.

Monad

Monad is a high-performance EVM-compatible public blockchain that improves transaction speed and reduces costs while maintaining Ethereum’s security and decentralization features. Its testnet provides developers and users an experimental environment to interact with the Monad ecosystem’s DApps.

Sonus Exchange

Sonus Exchange is the core liquidity hub of the Soneium ecosystem, built on advanced Automated Market Maker (AMM) technology. The platform is designed to provide a secure and validated trading environment, combining the strengths of Uniswap to offer efficient liquidity services. As the first decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Soneium blockchain to adopt the native ve(3,3) model, Sonus aims to incentivize users to hold tokens long-term and participate in governance, enhancing the platform’s stability and activity.

The Sonus Exchange airdrop includes 200 million SONUS tokens, distributed as veSONUS (voting escrowed SONUS) tokens, with a maximum lock-up period of 2 years. The airdrop has two phases: testnet and mainnet, with a phase-based rewards system. The completed testnet phase accounts for 30% of the point distribution, while the active mainnet phase accounts for 70%[5].
