Silencio AI

Silencio AI is a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) platform founded in 2022 by Thomas Messerer (CEO), Eric Stotz (CDO), and Theo Messerer (COO), headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware with origins in Munich, Germany. The platform transforms smartphones into data collection tools, crowdsourcing noise pollution data and voice recordings from over 1.1 million users across 235 countries, generating more than 37 billion data points. Silencio trains AI models to understand diverse accents, languages, and real-world environmental sounds, with applications spanning robot danger detection, self-driving car navigation, and endangered language preservation from 185 countries. The AI voice training platform (ai.silencio.store) allows users to record voice samples that help train speech recognition and language models. Built on the Peaq blockchain, the platform ensures transparency and GDPR compliance, rewarding contributors with $SLC tokens through monthly raffles and airdrops. Noise data accuracy has been verified within ±3 decibels of professional equipment.

No specialized skills are required to participate. Contributors need a smartphone or computer with a microphone and internet access. For noise data collection, the Silencio app records anonymized decibel data (no actual audio or personal data is stored). For AI voice training tasks, users record their voice for approximately 30 seconds to help train language and dialect recognition models. Being multilingual is an advantage for earning potential. Users must be at least 18 years old and create a profile on the platform. Earnings come through the $SLC crypto token via monthly raffles, in-app "Noise Coins" earned from data collection serve as raffle tickets. Contributors can boost earnings through streak multipliers (up to 250% after 100 days), referral bonuses (200 coins each plus 20% of referred user's measurement earnings), venue check-ins, and completing quests. The platform is fully remote and available globally.
