EarnOS has announced $18.5 million in strategic funding and its official launch out of beta across the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The app launches with more than $30 million in annualized committed reward missions from brands spanning rideshare, retail, streaming, and consumer finance.

The funding includes a $6 million Pre-Series A round led by 1kx, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, and Social Graph Ventures, and a four-year, $12.5 million non-dilutive strategic investment from Verona. EarnOS launched ero as the internet's engagement signals become harder to trust. Bots, fake traffic, and AI-generated content are flooding digital channels with more than 50% of the internet now identified as bot-driven, while industry estimates suggest that up to 25% of performance advertising spend is lost to bots and invalid traffic. EarnOS gives brands a new model by letting them pay people for verified online actions rather than impressions, clicks, or engagement signals that are inflated, automated, or fake.

EarnOS is the technology company powering ero, the internet's reward program, enabling faster, cheaper, and more genuine connections between brands, creators, and real people. The platform helps brands verify human activity, reduce bot-driven ad waste, and reward authentic digital behavior with real, spendable value. Built using privacy-preserving technologies such as zkTLS and powered by Verona's infrastructure, EarnOS is creating a more trustworthy internet, one verified action at a time.
