Noise pollution, classified as the second most common type of noise by the World Health Organization (WHO), is a global challenge, especially in large cities. To address this problem, the Silence app, developed on the peaq blockchain platform, emerges as a solution that combines technology and environmental awareness.
The Silence app, for example, allows its users to contribute to the mapping of noise pollution by allowing them to use their cell phone's microphone. The app then measures noise levels in decibels in different locations, such as streets and public spaces.
Silence rewards with crypto
As a reward, participants receive tokens reflecting, above all, the principles of Web3, where data provided by users is valued and compensated.
With almost 375 thousand users in 180 countries, the app is now available on the Google Play Store and App Store, offering an accessible and intuitive experience.
Unlike Web2 solutions, such as Waze, which use user data without offering anything in return, Silêncio stands out for placing participants at the center of the ecosystem, promoting a fairer and more collaborative model.
Additionally, Silencio-backed platform peaq is expanding its presence in Brazil. The Layer 1 blockchain-focused company is betting on the country as part of its strategy to popularize Web3.
Other applications based on this technology are already transforming sectors such as logistics, geolocation and agricultural trade, for example. Soon, initiatives in Brazil may include projects such as free public Wi-Fi, expanding internet access in less favored areas.
Tokens earned in the Silêncio app can be used to obtain in-app perks or exchanged for other cryptocurrencies in the future, increasing its appeal to crypto enthusiasts and new users alike. Silêncio is a practical example of how blockchain and Web3 can positively impact everyday life, benefiting both users and society.
