Dear NUMBERS,
This is Tammy, writing the monthly founder report. As winter is getting closer, we at Numbers Protocol are preparing for an impactful season ahead. With the evolving landscape of AI, blockchain, and privacy technology, I am excited to share how we’re growing and adapting to ensure our platform remains at the forefront of these advancements.
This month, a significant change in data privacy policies at social platform X (formerly Twitter) brought up the discussion about the increasing importance of user data rights. X’s Privacy Policy now allows third-party collaborators to train AI models using user data with no clear opt out options. TechCrunch also published a post related to this change.
This change shows the critical role of user data control, copyright protection, and transparent data-sharing policies. Numbers Protocol’s vision has always focused on empowering users by safeguarding their digital rights and enabling control over personal data. We always stand firm in providing verifiable content authenticity, allowing users to opt out and maintain full control over their data, strengthening copyright protections in the AI world where user privacy is more crucial than ever.
Over the past month, we’ve made significant progress across multiple fronts. Most of our development has focused on Capture eye, adding more customizable fields to help users display optimal content authenticity on their websites. We’ve also introduced updates aimed at improving accessibility and visibility on mobile devices.
In case you haven’t noticed, our Capture page now supports Spotify streaming. This feature enables podcasters to adopt Capture services for content authentication and monetization while retaining Web2 traffic on existing platforms. A key change we’re making with Capture is to allow creators to maintain control over their own data and keep audience engagement on their own sites, rather than losing control like on other platforms. All of these efforts are helping Capture become an important platform for digital content verification, empowering creators and users alike with the confidence that their content is secure and authentic.
The 9th DAO meeting has been concluded, the 2024 Open Call Initiative will be launched as proposed in the community review! We also have another unanimous result on the vote, you can find the whole discussion and have a more detailed look in our Github! Our DAO continues to exemplify decentralized governance with recent voting activities supporting community-driven initiatives.
Besides, I am excited to share that Capture has been selected as a finalist in the e-Revolutionaires awards, further strengthening our presence in Estonia and the broader EU. Vote daily and let's win the category together!
Looking ahead to November, in addition to ongoing integrations and potential collaborations with AI, we’re also preparing for FIL Bangkok. At this event, our team will speak on a topic central to our mission: “Combating Misinformation in Election Media with Decentralized Tools.” This session will explore how decentralized technology can enhance media integrity during critical times, such as elections. If you’re in Bangkok, be sure to stop by and say hello!
Same as every weekend, the team will take some rest with a slower response. Our dear moderators will keep supporting you, and the team will be well-prepared for the new week.
Best & Have a nice weekend,
Tammy
