Blockchain Integration Boosts Silencio's Global Fight Against Noise Pollution

In a bid to combat the escalating issue of global noise pollution, Silencio Network has integrated with the peaq blockchain ecosystem, bringing over 35,000 smartphones into play as noise sensors.

Spanning 176 countries, these devices form part of Silencio's decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), aiming to hit the 1 million device mark by 2024.

Silencio Network, utilizing AI and machine learning, converts acoustic data into actionable insights.

The integration of Silencio Network with the peaq ecosystem comes at a pivotal moment in the digital assets landscape. Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets conference, scheduled for Nov. 14, is set to spotlight innovations like these, emphasizing the real-world applications of blockchain and decentralized technologies.

This data aids various sectors, from helping prospective homeowners understand their potential neighborhood's soundscape to assisting city planners in enhancing urban acoustics, a press release shared with Benzinga stated.

Silencio's app, available on iOS and Android, encourages users to contribute to the fight against noise pollution by collecting and sharing live local noise data.

In return, participants earn NOISE tokens, promoting a citizen science approach to tackle this global concern.
