Published & Updated: February 2026 | Tapbit DePIN & Physical AI Data Desk
ZenO has launched its Public Beta on Story Protocol — allowing anyone with a smartphone or smart glasses to earn dual rewards by simply recording everyday first-person activities (cooking, driving, cleaning, assembly tasks, etc.) and uploading the footage. The project is building a decentralized marketplace for high-quality, egocentric video datasets that robotics & embodied AI companies desperately need for training.
Rewards come in two forms:
- XP points → convert to $ZNO tokens at the Q2 2026 Token Generation Event (TGE) snapshot
- 60–70% revenue share in USDC/USDT — paid out whenever your anonymized clips are licensed and sold to AI/robotics firms
Joining is completely free (no hardware purchase required), and the beta runs for 6–8 weeks (through late March / early April 2026). This guide covers setup, reward maximization, privacy & compliance features, realistic earnings potential, risks, and how Tapbit users can prepare wallets for the TGE launch.
What is ZenO & How Does It Work with Story Protocol?
ZenO solves one of the biggest bottlenecks in physical AI & robotics development: the shortage of diverse, real-world first-person video data. Collecting this data professionally costs $50–200 per hour; ZenO crowdsources it from everyday users at a fraction of the price while protecting privacy through AI anonymization and Story Protocol’s on-chain IP registration.
Core workflow:
- User records egocentric (first-person POV) videos of daily tasks
- Upload to ZenO app → AI pipeline automatically anonymizes faces, text, license plates, personal objects
- Cleaned dataset registered as IP on Story Protocol Layer-1 blockchain
- Robotics/AI companies license clips via marketplace
- Contributor receives 60–70% of sale revenue in stablecoins + XP points
Story Protocol integration ensures:
- Immutable ownership & licensing records
- Automated royalty splits via smart contracts
- Programmable licensing terms (e.g. one-time use vs perpetual)
Step-by-Step: How to Join ZenO Public Beta & Start Earning
- Visit the official app
Go to app.zen-o.xyz → connect an EVM-compatible wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow, etc.) to the Story network. - Record your first video
Use your smartphone or smart glasses to record everyday tasks (e.g. making coffee, driving, folding laundry, assembling furniture). Avoid capturing financial information, private conversations, or third-person views. - Upload & process
Upload directly in-app → AI pipeline anonymizes sensitive elements (faces, text, objects) → video is registered on Story Protocol → you instantly receive XP points. - Complete missions & referrals
Dashboard shows daily/weekly missions (e.g. “upload 5 cooking videos”, “refer 3 friends”) — each mission gives bonus XP. Share your referral link for 10–20% ongoing commission on referees’ earnings. - Track earnings & prepare for TGE
Dashboard shows real-time XP balance, estimated $ZNO allocation, and stablecoin revenue (paid as data sells). Link your Tapbit EVM wallet now to be ready for $ZNO spot/futures trading at launch.
Tapbit prep tip: Deposit USDT via P2P or bank transfer ahead of TGE — zero maker fees on spot buys + deep liquidity expected post-launch.
How to Maximize XP & Stablecoin Revenue
XP allocation at TGE is proportional to your share of total network points. Current rough estimate: 0.001–0.003% network share per active user (higher if early & consistent). Maximize with these strategies:
- Uptime & volume
Upload 5–10 high-quality clips per day (cooking, cleaning, driving, repairs). Longer, clearer videos score higher XP multipliers. - Referral farming
Share referral link in crypto communities, Telegram groups, Twitter (tag Tapbit users for cross-promotion) — earn 10–20% of referees’ XP + 5–10% of their stablecoin revenue. - Missions & badges
Complete all daily/weekly missions (upload quotas, categories, social tasks) — each badge can add 10–60% to final allocation. - Device rotation
Use multiple phones/glasses under one account (allowed) — rotate to keep one charging while another records.
Revenue share (60–70% in USDC/USDT) is paid automatically as data sells — expect first payouts 3–6 months after upload (licensing cycle).
Privacy, Anonymization & Compliance Features
ZenO emphasizes user privacy and regulatory compliance:
- AI pipeline automatically blurs faces, removes text (license plates, screens), obscures identifiable objects
- No audio is collected or required (video-only)
- All personal metadata stripped before registration on Story Protocol
- Users retain IP ownership — can set licensing terms (one-time vs perpetual)
- Story Protocol smart contracts enforce royalty splits & usage rights
Data is never sold raw — only after anonymization & IP registration. ZenO explicitly states it never asks for seed phrases, private keys or wallet funds.
Tokenomics & $ZNO Outlook After TGE
Estimated allocation (subject to final whitepaper):
- 30–40% community mining rewards (XP-based conversion)
- Staking APY est. 8–15% (early projection)
- Governance voting + fee discounts
- Network usage fees paid in $ZNO
Tapbit is expected to list $ZNO/USDT spot and perpetuals shortly after TGE — zero maker fees + deep liquidity make it ideal for both short-term flips and long-term holding.
Risks & Best Practices for ZenO Participants
- Sybil resistance — Galxe + social verification flags multi-account farming; stick to one high-uptime identity
- TGE uncertainty — Mining window ~6–8 weeks; snapshot date not finalized — participate consistently now
- Data sales timeline — First stablecoin payouts likely 3–6 months after upload (licensing cycle)
- Project risk — Early-stage DePIN; do your own research on team, code audits and tokenomics reveal
Tapbit safety note: platform holds 95%+ cold storage, $50M insurance fund covers exchange-side incidents (not user mining errors). Never share seed phrases or private keys — ZenO app never asks for them.
Tapbit Post-TGE Trading Plays
- Spot launch — Zero-fee $ZNO/USDT buys at TGE; set limit orders below initial hype price
- Futures volatility — 125x perps for short-term swings; use grid bots to capture range-bound moves post-launch
- Earn staking — Stake $ZNO for yields if listed; flexible redemption for cycle timing
- Alerts & prep — Tapbit app notifications for TGE; pre-position USDT via P2P fiat ramps (no KYC needed for spot)
FAQs – ZenO Story Protocol Beta (2026)
Will $ZNO be listed on Tapbit?
Very likely — Tapbit has a strong track record listing promising DePIN & data-marketplace tokens early. Prep an EVM wallet + USDT balance now for zero-fee spot/futures access post-TGE.
How many XP points can one realistically earn?
With consistent uploads (5–10 clips/day), referrals + Galxe quests: competitive users report 20–60% allocation boost vs basic participation. Exact conversion rate depends on final network share at snapshot.
Is ZenO data upload safe & private?
AI anonymizes faces/text/objects before registration. No audio collected. Users retain IP ownership & set licensing terms. Story Protocol ensures immutable royalty splits. Never share seed phrases or wallet funds.
When is $ZNO TGE?
Expected April–June 2026 (post-beta snapshot). Beta runs through late March / early April — mine consistently now to maximize XP share.
