As part of the collaboration, new Jambo phones will come with Silencio preinstalled. Two other mobile-first DePINs on peaq will be added into a dedicated peaq DePIN folder on Jambo phones, enabling their owners to dive into the peaqosystem at once.
peaq, the layer-1 blockchain powering DePIN and the Machine Economy, unveils a major collaboration with Jambo, the world’s largest onchain mobile network, and Silencio, the DePIN crowdsourcing the world’s biggest noise pollution map. The three projects will work together to make DePIN immediately accessible to millions of people in the developing world.

To this end, all of Jambo’s JamboPhone 2 models will ship with Silencio preinstalled, as well as two other mobile-first DePIN apps. Their owners will be able to immediately dive into the Machine Economy on peaq, unlocking rewards for creating real-world value with their phones.
Millions of people lacking bank accounts still own mobile phones, which has made mobile payment apps a crucial factor in the recent uptick in financial inclusion. With banking the unbanked as a long-time goal of many in the Web3 industry, crypto has played a significant role in this too.
JamboApp works as a Web3 appstore with a multichain noncustodial wallet
The Jambo ecosystem brings together the best of both worlds, launching its own ultra-affordable JamboPhone smartphones that come with a variety of dApps installed for seamless Web3 onboarding. Its JamboApp works as a Web3 appstore complete with a multichain noncustodial wallet, granting almost 9 million people across 121 countries access to the onchain world.
The collaboration with peaq and SIlencio now takes this another step forward — into the Machine Economy. With Silencio set to be preinstalled on all JamboPhone 2 smartphones, those buying the devices will be able to start measuring local noise pollution data. T
his data would earn them coins on the Silencio app, which are later converted into tickets in a raffle distributing $SLC tokens in the community. Jambo will also feature the Silencio app on its other channels, including its own app store, to further increase its reach. In the upcoming Season 2 of peaq’s Get Real campaign, JamboPhone users will get additional benefits from using Silencio on their devices.
Immediacy of access unlocks the DePIN ecosystem on peaq
Two more mobile-first DePINs on peaq will also see their apps pre-installed on Jambo, with the projects set to be unveiled later. These DePINs will be similarly supported on Jambo’s other channels, and their apps will be placed in a dedicated peaq folder on the phones.
This immediacy of access unlocks the DePIN ecosystem on peaq to a quickly-growing community of millions around the globe, including in nations where people are already partially relying on crypto for value exchanges. It s set to further boost the supply side of DePINs on peaq, while enabling millions of people to create real-world value and benefit.
“Mobile phones offer the fastest way to both financial inclusion and DePIN access,” says James Zhang, co-founder of Jambo. “Both are increasingly important as the world begins to reimagine the way it runs its connected infrastructure. For this reason, we are happy to welcome Silencio, one of the fastest-growing DePINs in Web3, on our platform, and open up to two more projects from peaq, the home of DePIN.”
“Accessibility and openness have been Silencio’s core values from day one,” says Eric Stotz, CPO at Silencio.
“The presence on Jambo’s platform will greatly amplify our reach and bring Silencio to an entire new audience. We are thrilled to be the gateway into the Machine Economy on peaq for millions of people around the world.”
“The DePIN sector needs to scale fast to live up to its full potential,” says Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of peaq.
“This collaboration is enabling this scaling by connecting the DePINs on peaq with a vast audience of Web3 adopters. It’s a powerful initiative, and we expect it to boost the capacities of multiple DePINs on peaq while empowering more people to truly own their devices.”
