About
Silencio is a decentralized infrastructure layer for smartphone-generated data. Silencio rewards users for contributing data, turning everyday smartphone activity into a passive income stream. All data is sourced with on-chain user consent, ensuring transparency and trust.
History
Asset Function
The SLC tokenomics are as follows:
- Emission Schedule: Monthly raffles distribute tokens (541m SLC) to contributors
- Buyback & Burn Strategy (Coming Soon): Revenue from data sales will fuel token burns to reduce supply
- Staking Rewards: Incentivizes long-term participation
- Unclaimed rewards are recycled or burned
How SLC drives the Silencio’s ecosystem:
- Businesses purchase data using SLC, creating demand for the token
- Contributors earn SLC by providing noise and location data via smartphones
- Token holders stake SLC to unlock premium features (upcoming) and boost raffle odds
- Revenue reinvested into buybacks, burns (future strategy), and community rewards
