The Market is Ruthless, But Silencio is Here to Stay

Hey Silencians,

February 2025 has set a new bar for survival in the crypto space. Macro uncertainty, regulatory pressure, and unforgiving volatility have pushed countless projects to the brink. Many are folding under the weight of unfulfilled promises and speculative hype. Silencio, however, continues to thrive—not through empty narratives, but by proving real, on-chain adoption at a scale no other DePIN project has managed.

When the market sentiment turned grim, we didn’t pivot—we executed. We launched our TGE with a clear vision that promotes steady, long-term growth. We introduced $SLC on major exchanges, airdropped tokens to our most committed users, rolled out the Deep in Luck Raffle to redefine decentralized rewards, fully integrated into peaq’s Get Real Campaign, and completed the monumental task of bringing our entire network fully on-chain.

This isn’t about momentary hype or chasing trends—it’s about building. While other projects recede into silence, Silencio is doubling down on community, technology, and tangible utility. We’re turning noise measurement into a globally verifiable data economy, one that stands out in the face of market headwinds.

This is what relentless execution looks like—and it’s just the beginning. Strap in as we break down how February 2025 became the defining month in Silencio’s journey and how these achievements set us on course to reshape what’s possible in the DePIN universe.

Let’s break down one of the most defining months in Silencio’s history.

1. $SLC is Live: Listings, Market Analysis & Next Moves

Silencio’s native token, $SLC, provided by the BlockSound Foundation, is now live across multiple top-tier exchanges—demonstrating our firm commitment to real, on-chain value over hype.

Acknowledging TGE Challenges

At Silencio, transparency is everything. On the day of the TGE (Token Generation Event), we faced a temporary withdrawal delay due to an external provider issue. This was fully resolved within hours.

  • Yes, $SLC is down from its launch price—this is normal post-TGE behavior.

  • Yes, some early presale participants have exited—as expected.

  • But Silencio’s adoption, staking, and on-chain expansion are accelerating at an unmatched pace.

Let’s break down what’s happening and why we’re positioned to dominate the next phase of Web3 adoption.

  3. Driving Real-World Adoption

    • 2025 is all about on-chain revenue, and Silencio is aiming at positioning itself with the best-performing depins.

    • A very aggressive data sales strategy with the additional acquisition of top sales talent is taking place.

    • Silencio aims at releasing detailed information on overall revenue in Q2 Silencio's data set capturing capabilities are expanding with upcoming updates tapping into multiple billion-dollar established data markets - positioning Silencio as the DePIN hub to commercialize your smartphone data on your terms transparently and securely.
