Investing in Silencio

PIONEERING DECENTRALIZED NOISE POLLUTION SOLUTIONS
As urbanization accelerates, noise pollution has emerged as a notable environmental and public health challenge. Despite its pervasive nature, this issue has often been overlooked, leaving a gap in effective mitigation solutions. Silencio is stepping in to address this gap by leveraging decentralized technology to build the world's largest noise level databank.
WHY WE INVESTED IN SILENCIO
Silencio is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that empowers users to report and record record noise data in their regions via a mobile app, supporting various data types such as noise levels, location data, hearing test results, and venue check-ins. Since the network launch in March 2023, Silencio has deployed 300k sensors across 180 countries and recorded over 6 million venue check-ins globally. This data is then aggregated to form a comprehensive global noise level databank that can be commercialized across various industries, including real estate, hospitality, urban planning, and academic research. The dataset (https://map.silencio.store/) is expanding at a pace equivalent to mapping the entire city of Paris every day.
One of the unique value propositions of Silencio is its reward mechanism, where users can earn incentives for contributing noise data and potentially monetize their data when it is sold. This not only encourages widespread participation but also democratizes access to the benefits of the platform.
Silencio’s integration with the Peaq blockchain ensures that the data collected is secure, scalable, and interoperable. The use of blockchain technology also allows for transparent data management, making it a trustworthy source for industries looking to leverage noise level data for various applications.
