Our vision is to build the world’s largest community-powered data engine, transforming everyday devices into tools that generate actionable insights on noise pollution. We aim to position Silencio as a leader in smartphone-generated data so that value flows directly to users who contribute to this ecosystem. By providing data-driven solutions for businesses, researchers, and governments, we strive to empower informed decisions that contribute to a quieter, healthier world and positively influence daily decision-making.
By rethinking data collection, Silencio transforms millions of smartphones into anonymous, secure data nodes, offering a simplified gateway to Web3 and rewarding users for participating in the world’s largest citizen project on noise pollution. Unlike other networks, no upfront investment in hardware is required—anyone with a smartphone can join for free.
Our community-powered approach generates hyper-local, noise-level data that has transformative impacts across several industries. For example, Silencio is revolutionizing property valuation by providing real estate platforms with street-level noise data, allowing users to compare locations and assess the surrounding sound environment before choosing a new home or office space. Noise level check-in data also empowers travelers to find quieter hotels on booking platforms and view the estimated noise levels of nearby restaurants. In addition, local governments gain access to real-time and historical noise complaints, supporting policy development and enhancing urban planning—and this is just the beginning of Silencio’s data-capturing potential.
At the core of Silencio is the decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) model, which enables global scalability through community-owned infrastructure. By securely and anonymously crowdsourcing data, our native token $SLC powers data exchange and access across the network.
In contrast to big tech’s centralized privacy-compromising data collection models, Silencio offers a decentralized, user-centric solution. Through blockchain technology, users fully control their data and are compensated fairly, fostering a transparent, sustainable digital economy. As stated previously, anyone with a smartphone can join the Silencio community with no hardware investment to contribute to data that informs decisions that positively affect quality of life worldwide. This whitepaper outlines Silencio’s vision, mission, and current advancements for building an inclusive data ecosystem.
Note: This is a technical whitepaper. A MICA-compliant whitepaper will be published in 2025.
