With the recent rise in popularity of @peaq ppl are taking more n more notice of its eco and tbh one of the best protocols in that eco is $SLC ( @silencioNetwork) with building "the world’s ears for AI & Robotics"

Started as noise pollution mapping solution but has evolved into AI and Robotics. Turning everyday smartphones into a global decentralized audio intelligence layer for AI, robotics & autonomous systems.

🔷Phase 1 (Live Today)
🔹1.1M+ users across 180+ countries
🔹37B+ verified data points collected
🔹Phones measure ambient dB levels (no conversations, fully anonymous)
🔹Revenue already from smart cities, real estate & hospitality

➠

🔷 What’s Next (Phases 2–4)
1⃣ Voice AI training datasets → powering assistants, cars, robots
2⃣ Spatial audio → critical for AR/VR & immersive worlds
3⃣ Robot navigation → real-time sound awareness for autonomous systems

🔷 The Stack
🔹Built on @peaq first DePIN to fully migrate on-chain
🔹DID system for secure device verification
🔹100K+ daily on-chain txns already
🔹Zero hardware cost → scales instantly via smartphones ppl already own

➠

🔷 Token Model $SLC
🔹Enterprises must pay in $SLC for API/data access
🔹Revenue-funded token burns → real demand loop, not speculative hype
🔹Current revenue: environmental data → Future: AI & robotics dataset

➠

🔷 Market Backdrop
🔹Noise monitoring → $1.3B by 2030
🔹Voice AI → $100B+ by 2030
🔹AI training data → $8-17B by 2032
🔹Embodied AI → potentially economy-defining

➠

🔷 The Team
This isn’t anon devs farming a meta. Core team has spent years in sound/environmental science & blockchain infra.

🔹Prof. Enda Murphy (UCD) → 5,300+ academic citations, expert in noise policy
🔹Prof. Eoin King (Galway) → Director of Sound Lab, VP at Intl. Institute of Noise Control Engineering
Both co-authors of “Environmental Noise Pollution” the reference book in the field.

So while most DePINs are still trying to spin up physical infra, Silencio already has a million-strong live network, credible scientific backbone, and a token model tied directly to enterprise demand.
