As Bytenova officially launches its point reward system in April 2025, this innovative project integrating edge AI and blockchain technology has once again attracted market attention. The system encourages community participation through social interactions and on-chain behaviors, providing users with points that can be exchanged for tokens, becoming the core driving force of the project's ecosystem. This Odaily article will comprehensively analyze Bytenova's project highlights, participation methods, and airdrop opportunities.
Project Overview: Reconstructing the Future of AI and Decentralized Computing
Bytenova's core vision is to innovate "local computing" for AI inference tasks in a decentralized manner. Traditional cloud computing relies on centralized servers, facing bottlenecks such as high latency, privacy risks, and concentrated computing resources. Bytenova utilizes GPU acceleration and containerized architecture to deploy AI models to edge nodes and even mobile devices, significantly improving response speed and enhancing data privacy protection. This technical architecture not only optimizes computing efficiency but also provides users with more flexible computing resource allocation.
Looking deeper, Bytenova is more than just an AI project; it is attempting to reconstruct the relationship between "computing resource allocation" and "user incentives" in a decentralized way. Through blockchain technology, Bytenova connects computing power contributors and demanders, building a fair and efficient ecosystem that incentivizes users to earn token rewards through computing power, data, or community participation. This model provides a new paradigm for distributed AI computing in the Web3 era.
Formerly known as Clustro AI, Bytenova's ecosystem revolves around its native token $CTOAI, initially deployed on the Solana chain to leverage its high-performance advantages. In April 2025, the project completed a token migration to Binance Smart Chain (BSC), aiming to enhance token cross-chain compatibility and liquidity, and provide a more stable on-chain infrastructure for interactive mechanisms such as the points system.
The token bridging window is from April 2nd to 4th, during which holders need to send $CTOAI (SOL) to a designated development wallet, after which the team will redeploy the liquidity pool on the BNB chain. After bridging, users will receive airdropped tokens based on BSC. This cross-chain move not only optimizes the technical architecture but also marks a key step for Bytenova in integrating DeFi and Web3 ecosystems.
Funding and Endorsement: NVIDIA's Support, CMC Incubator Recognition
Bytenova's growth benefits from its strong technological and capital background. Early seed round investment from NVIDIA provided solid underlying support for GPU computing power optimization. Subsequently, Bytenova completed a $12 million Series A funding round led by Forum Ventures, with MetaBlast and Metaverse Group's joining further strengthening its resource linkage in the Web3 circle. The project's total funding has now reached $15 million.
At the end of March 2025, Bytenova was selected for the CoinMarketCap Labs incubator, receiving product promotion, technical support, and recognition of its development potential from mainstream platforms. These endorsements not only highlight Bytenova's technical strength but also provide more possibilities for its ecosystem expansion.
How Can Ordinary Users Participate?
Bytenova provides a clear participation path for ordinary users, mainly including Galxe platform tasks and the official points reward system. Here's a detailed guide:
Galxe Tasks: Time-Limited Interaction, Quick Start
Bytenova periodically releases tasks on the Galxe platform, covering social media interactions, on-chain operations, and community activities. These tasks are usually linked to project milestones, with short cycles, requiring close attention.
On April 19th, Bytenova launched a new task on Galxe, with a deadline of April 29th, task link: https://app.galxe.com/quest/ByteNova/GCCkztmtaM
The main purpose of this task is to distinguish real users from bots. The task is divided into two parts, and users only need to complete one:
Galxe Subscribed Users: Directly participate in certification with Humanity Score level ≥ 2.
Non-subscribed Users: Need to complete Bytenova's social media task (quiz answer is D) and ensure a USDC transaction record on the Base chain, with an on-chain balance greater than 10 USDC. Snapshot time is April 26th, those who haven't completed can join as soon as possible.
It is recommended to closely follow Bytenova's Galxe page (app.galxe.com) to avoid missing subsequent tasks.
Points Reward System: Daily Check-In, Accumulate Rewards
Through the Bytenova official website (bytenova.ai), click the "Rewards" tab to enter the points system page, and link an EVM wallet (such as Metamask or OKX).
1. Social Media Tasks
After entering the page, you can edit "Profile", select an avatar, and connect Discord and Twitter accounts, which are part of the social media tasks. Click "Quest" to see the task list; tasks like liking and replying only require clicking the link, without actually performing the action.
2. Daily Check-In
Visit the Bytenova official website's points system page daily and click the "Check-In" button to complete the check-in. Note that check-in requires using the BNB chain, with gas fees around 0.1 ~ 0.3 USDT. Consistent daily check-ins can unlock point bonuses, helping to exchange more rewards.
Points can be used to exchange $CTOAI tokens in the future and are an important pathway for participating in airdrops. Users are advised to check in daily and follow official announcements to maximize reward accumulation.
