【Crypto World】Silencio, an AI voice infrastructure project built on the peaq network, recently launched a stablecoin incentive campaign with quite a strong push.
The core gameplay is straightforward: users contribute voice data to earn rewards. The basic tier offers $2 per hour, but if you upload high-quality AI recordings that pass review, you can earn an incentive of $10 per hour — that price difference is quite tempting. The project itself collects these real voice data to train AI models and robots, enabling them to better recognize and understand sound information.
From the project's progress, Silencio has accumulated over 720,000 recordings in just a few weeks, totaling more than 8,100 hours of spoken data. This volume of data is meaningful for AI voice training. The data uploaded by users is converted into $SLC tokens as rewards, which is the project's native token.

【Chain News】Recently, I came across a data summary showing that BNB Chain performed quite well in Q3. Its market capitalization increased by 51.6% quarter-over-quarter, now reaching $140.4 billion, ranking fifth in the entire crypto market.
The DeFi ecosystem is even more interesting—total locked value (TVL) grew by 30.7% to $7.8 billion. This growth rate has surpassed Tron, now ranking third.

But what’s more noteworthy is the performance of USDe, which surged over 10 times quarter-over-quarter to $430 million, showing strong growth momentum. Additionally, USDF is steadily expanding and has now grown to $36 million.

This is no small feat, as MiCA is the EU's first unified regulatory framework for crypto assets and one of the strictest crypto regulatory systems worldwide.
Specifically, MiCA establishes unified standards for the disclosure, issuance, and support of digital assets. In simple terms, it sets clear rules for the entire European crypto market.
IoTeX has now released a MiCA-compliant IOTX white paper, becoming one of the few blockchain infrastructure platforms to achieve regulatory clarity across the EU. What does this mean? compliant exchanges, custodians, and corporate users within the EU can now support IOTX assets and their ecosystem applications under a unified regulatory environment, significantly lowering the access threshold.
For IoTeX itself, this compliance milestone marks a major step forward.
