How DePINly estimates Silencio earnings. Last verified 2026-05-21.
TL;DR
Silencio does not pay SLC per action. Phone activity earns In-App Coins; Coins become raffle tickets; ~541.67M SLC is distributed monthly by lottery across 100M prizes. So earnings are a probabilistic expectation with a wide band, not a deterministic per-hour rate. We compute Coins/month (fully sourced) and present SLC as a calibrated range.
⚠️ Previous model was wrong. The earlier calculator used
1.5 SLC/hour × hours × environment multiplier (city 1.3 / suburb 1.0 / rural 0.6). None of those numbers exist in Silencio's economy — the rates and the linear model were invented. Replaced 2026-05-21.
How earning actually works
- In-App Coins are earned from app activity (measurements, check-ins, quests, referrals), amplified by a daily streak multiplier.
- 1 Coin = 1 raffle ticket, plus a +20% OG bonus on tickets from the trailing 12 months.
- Each month the BlockSound Foundation draws ~541,666,667 SLC across 100M prizes, from Iron Nugget (1 SLC) to Diamond (>11M SLC). Any user can win any prize; leagues (Iron→Diamond) skew the share.

| Activity | Rate | In calc? |
|---|---|---|
| Open measurement (time) | 0.5 Coins / minute | ✅ |
| Hexagon coverage | 0.25 Coins / hexagon | ✅ (folded into new-hexagon) |
| New hexagon bonus | +1 Coin | ✅ (1.25 Coins / new hexagon) |
| Venue check-in | 10 Coins (100 first time at a venue) | ✅ (first-time not modeled) |
| Quest | up to 15,000 Coins each | ✅ (user enters daily avg) |
| Referral sign-up | 200 Coins each (one-time) | ❌ (one-off, not steady-state) |
| Referral passive | +20% of the friend's measurement Coins | ✅ |
| Streak multiplier | 2.5%/day → 250% max (40d = 100%, 100d = 250%) | ✅ |
| OG bonus | +20% tickets from trailing 12 months | ✅ |
Formula
timeCoins = measureMinutes × 0.5
hexCoins = newHexagons × 1.25
checkinCoins = venueCheckins × 10
engagement = timeCoins + hexCoins + checkinCoins + questCoins
streakMult = 1 + min(2.5 × streakDays, 250) / 100 // 1.0 – 3.5
referralCoins = activeReferrals × 0.20 × (timeCoins + hexCoins)
dailyCoins = engagement × streakMult + referralCoins
monthlyCoins = dailyCoins × 30
monthlyTickets = monthlyCoins × 1.20 // OG bonus
slc{Low,Mid,High} = monthlyTickets × {0.15, 0.45, 1.2} // see below
The SLC band (irreducible uncertainty)
Expected SLC per ticket = monthlyPool / totalNetworkTickets. The total network
tickets is unknowable from outside (575k+ users and growing, activity varies).
This is why the calculator caps at 🟡 and shows a range, never a single number.
The SLC_PER_TICKET band (0.15 / 0.45 / 1.2) is calibrated so that typical
engagement reproduces the only public real-world data point: a user earning
~$1.86 over 8 months of passive use (≈$0.23/mo), and the catalog range of
$0.01–1/mo. It is a calibration to observed reality, not a published rate.
Mechanics surfaced but NOT modeled (and why)
| Mechanic | Why not modeled |
|---|---|
| Daily Game of Chance / Magic Boxes (up to 1000×) | Pure lottery, no published odds — can't compute an honest EV. |
| Watching ads | Optional after measurements; do not unlock guaranteed extra rewards. |
| Voice AI contributions (~$10–20/hr) | Separate active feature, a different economy from noise mapping. |
| Daily attempt limits | No hard limit confirmed in any source. |
| iOS vs Android payout difference | No evidence of a payout difference — only technical reliability (Android measurements stop on screen dim; Play 3.66★). |
| Account suspension risk | Operators report balances suspended without notice; flagged in UI as a risk, not quantifiable. |
Assumptions & confidence
| Assumption | Value | Confidence | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coin rates | per table above | 🟢 High | Official Silencio strategy guides |
| Streak multiplier | 2.5%/day → 250% | 🟢 High | Two verified anchors (40d=100%, 100d=250%) |
| OG bonus | +20% tickets | 🟡 Medium | Whitepaper; exact trailing math simplified |
| Referral proxy | referral as active as you | 🟡 Estimate | No per-referral data published |
| SLC per ticket | 0.15–1.2 band | 🔴 Low | Total network tickets unknown; calibrated to $0.01–1/mo reality |
Confidence rating
🟡 — Coins/tickets are fully sourced and deterministic, but the SLC payout has an irreducible lottery + unknown-network-size component. A single deterministic "SLC/day" number is impossible to give honestly; we show a band.
