Silencio Hub: Your Complete Guide to Silencio’s DePIN Network

Silencio started as a noise-recording app that runs passively in the background while you carry your phone. That is still active. But over the past year their main focus has shifted to Voice AI, a platform where you actively record your voice or sounds and get paid in USDC when that data is purchased by clients. I've been using Silencio since 2023. I was user #967, one of the first 1,000 on the platform. There are now over a million users and Silencio has paid out over $3 million to its community. This page covers both parts of the platform and how to get the most out of each.

What is Silencio?

Silencio is a decentralized audio data platform. It started with noise pollution mapping, where the app records environmental sound passively to help cities, researchers, and AI systems understand sound environments. That side of the platform is still running and you still earn $SLC from it through the monthly raffle.

Their newer focus is Voice AI, where you actively record your voice in different languages or make specific sounds. Companies use those recordings to train AI voice models and pay for the data in USDC. Voice AI is available at ai.silencio.store and from within the Silencio app under the Train AI tab. For more background, see the introduction to Silencio.

Voice AI: Getting Paid in USDC for Your Voice

Voice AI is where Silencio is putting most of their effort right now. You pick a language or sound campaign, record yourself speaking or making a specific sound, submit it, and when a company buys that data you get paid in USDC. The base rate is $10 per hour of accepted voice data.

Not every recording pays out immediately. Payments happen when clients purchase the data. Language recordings can sit pending for weeks or months depending on demand. Sound campaigns like whistling, sniffing, throat clearing, and whispering tend to get reviewed and paid out the fastest. From my own test, sound recordings were paid within a week while English recordings were still pending months later.

How to Get the Most Out of Voice AI

• Make longer recordings. You only get paid for time you are actually speaking. After 10 to 20 recordings in a row, a captcha appears after each submission. Doing 1 to 2 minute recordings instead of 30-second ones means fewer captchas per hour of voice data. Make each recording count.
• Use code AU50JZ every campaign. Every time you enter a new language, sound, or any other campaign in the Voice AI tab, enter the code AU50JZ. It gives you 25% extra raffle tickets per successful recording. Those tickets go into the monthly raffle where additional SLC is distributed each month.
• Jump on new sound campaigns quickly. When Silencio launches new sound campaigns they tend to get reviewed and paid out fast. Participating early in those is the most reliable way to see quick results.
• Focus on audio quality. Speak clearly, keep volume steady, and minimize background noise. Avoid long pauses. If a recording did not go well, redo it instead of submitting something that might get flagged.

Earnings Boost Levels

Your hourly earnings scale with how much SLC you hold in your Silencio account. There are five tiers:

• No SLC held: $10 per hour (base rate)
• $25 worth of SLC: 25% boost, $12.50 per hour
• $75 worth of SLC: 50% boost, $15 per hour
• $150 worth of SLC: 75% boost, $17.50 per hour
• $250 worth of SLC: 100% boost, $20 per hour

Higher levels also give priority review queues and early access to new campaigns, which matters because the fastest-paying campaigns fill up quickly. You earn SLC through recordings and the monthly raffle, so the level builds up over time without needing to invest anything to start.

Getting Started with Silencio

Download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Use the referral code "nordic" when signing up for a 200-point bonus. Setup takes about 30 seconds and only needs a Google account.

Once you're in, go to your profile and add all the languages you speak. Campaigns only appear once your languages are registered. Then head to the Train AI tab to see available campaigns. You can also access Voice AI directly from a browser at ai.silencio.store.

Earning $SLC Tokens

You earn $SLC from both sides of the platform. On the noise recording side, the app earns you coins that convert to raffle tickets for the monthly prize draws. On the Voice AI side, you earn USDC directly, plus SLC and raffle tickets on top. The raffle runs monthly with prizes up to 11 million $SLC. Building up raffle tickets over time through both platforms is one of the more consistent ways to accumulate SLC, which you can then use to raise your boost level and earn more per hour.

Understanding $SLC Tokenomics

The $SLC token has a 100 billion supply and powers Silencio's economy for data purchasing, user rewards, and future governance. Over 6.5 billion tokens are distributed over 10 years via raffles, with 75% of revenue funding buybacks and 50% of those burned to reduce supply over time. For answers to the most common questions, see the Silencio FAQ.

Safety and Privacy

Noise recording is passive and captures decibel levels only, not audio content. Voice AI recordings are entirely opt-in. Silencio is GDPR and CCPA compliant. The Peaq blockchain tracks consent and data usage transparently.

Silencio's Growth

I joined as user #967 in May 2023 when there were fewer than 1,000 users on the platform. There are now over a million users worldwide and over $3 million has been paid out to the community across both the noise recording and Voice AI platforms. Partnerships with Google Cloud support the infrastructure as it scales.

Pro Tips for Earning More

On the noise recording side, maintaining a daily streak adds a bonus multiplier that can reach up to 250%. Your personal referral code (found in the app) earns you 20% of the coins your referred friends generate. On the Voice AI side, the biggest levers are your boost level and accumulating raffle tickets by entering code AU50JZ every new campaign. The SLC from recordings and raffles compounds over time and gradually moves your boost level up without any upfront investment.

Mastering the Raffle System

The monthly raffle runs on the Peaq blockchain with prizes between 1 and 11 million $SLC. Raffle tickets come from noise recordings, Voice AI submissions, and referrals. Using code AU50JZ each time you enter a new Voice AI campaign gives you 25% extra tickets per recording. Staking raffle winnings back into your account adds up to a 30% monthly bonus on your ticket count. The tickets and SLC from the raffle feed directly into your boost level over time.

Start Your Journey

Download the Silencio app using referral code "nordic" for a 200-point bonus and start with the noise recording running passively. For Voice AI, go to ai.silencio.store and use code AU50JZ each time you enter a new campaign for 25% extra raffle tickets. Both are free to use with no investment needed.
