Community Name Announcement! 🎉

Community Name? Yep, ticked off that box!

You know, most larger communities, at some point, start giving themselves names. Sometimes these names are randomly introduced by people from the community, sometimes they have a name right from the start, and sometimes, they couldn’t care less. But we thought it was about time! So in case you missed it, let’s recapitulate.

If you feel like Bender, well then here’s your one-word-recap:
Silencians

For everyone who actually enjoys hearing the story:
It all started with a tweet

And you lunatics seriously replied 220 times with nearly as many potential community names 🤯 So out of these the Silencio team created a shortlist of names that we liked! And then, it was your choice again. In a Poll on Twitter, we asked you to choose one out of the four shortlist-names:

And well, what can we say, close to 1300 votes were added and the decision was close, but, a decision was made. And ever since, our community is referred to as the Silencians and if you are part of our Discord, you know that this is now also the role that you get assigned when you join!

To many many more Silencians joining us in the future!

Building with Certainty 🔨

Building is work. Building is a long-term operation. Building takes resilience. But building is necessary!

We want to assure you with absolute certainty: Our approach never changed. From the start we were always following the maxime of “under-promise and over-deliver”.

So while we are aware that many of you have been with us for a long time (which is highly appreciated) and rightly ask for updates on the TGE, and others, while they might be new, join us with one main question: “w(h)en TGE”. Let us answer:

We hear you!

But also hear us:
We are in the process of getting closer to a (somewhat) fixed TGE-date. But there are many things that will come before that. Especially two points need to be clear:

1. The TGE will only take place once we are certain we can launch with the most optimal result for our Silencians. This includes securing additional funding, negotiation with exchanges, making sure the tech-infrastructure is fully scalable, adjusting both the app and the branding in a way that will blow your mind. And there is a lot of other things on their way which will be done first. All of these points we are already working on and have them in the making!

2. The long-awaited TGE (and airdrop) are only the starting point. We are building Silencio for longevity with a sustainable but continuous growth, new revenue streams being added over time and a profitable business model from the start! The downside? This takes time. The upside? You will benefit considerably more.

Our efforts should and will always speak for themselves. Silencio is not a “trust me, bro”-project where you ape in but we communicate once we’re certain. We build with certainty - So you can be certain.

Exciting New Branding 🎨

Yep, we briefly mentioned this. But let’s get into it a bit more.

We are currently in the process of a full-blown re-branding of Silencio. What this means?
→ New Logo
→ New colours
→ New font
→ New Website
→ New App
→ Features, Features, Features…

Over the course of the next weeks, we will slowly start releasing more and more details, but what we can already share now is the new logo!

What do you think? Gorgeous, right? We definitely love it and we can’t wait to show you more hopefully very soon!
