Dear NUMBERS,
This is Tammy, sharing the monthly founder’s report as we approach the end of November 2024. As the crypto and Web3 landscape continues to evolve, I’m glad to update you on how Numbers Protocol is adapting and growing to meet the challenges and opportunities in our industry.
The crypto market has shown significant momentum this month. Bitcoin recently reached a fresh all-time high, while Solana also hit a new record. These milestones reflect growing investor confidence and adoption in the Web3 space. Same on the legal and regulatory front, we’re seeing rapid developments. Beyond the more pro-crypto approach signaled by the recent U.S. election results, the accelerated progress in Web3 legislation through the end of 2024 and into 2025 is also exciting. This shift presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in areas of security and international trade. For Numbers Protocol, the key takeaway from the market is clear: Web3 investors are ready for projects that truly solve real problems—and we know who that project is.
In the digital content authenticity space, a major highlight this month is Google’s announcement of support for C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) metadata in search results. This feature allows Google to display information about an image’s or video’s creation and modification history in the "About this image" section, including details about AI generation or editing. As a general member and contributor to C2PA, we are proud to see this milestone. It’s a success for C2PA and a clear indicator of the growing importance of content provenance in shaping the future of the internet. For those curious about blockchain's and Numbers Protocol's role in this, I encourage you to read this article. Google’s move validates our focus on blockchain-based content verification and reinforces the case for widespread adoption of provenance technologies.
November has been a particularly busy month for us. We co-hosted the Creator’s Playbook Workshop with Matters, focusing on how blockchain technology can protect copyrights for creators. We also launched an online campaign with four travel influencers to promote Capture to a broader audience. Additionally, our online workshop for the Funding the Commons Hackathon attracted many innovative builders leveraging Numbers Protocol. Lastly, our X space with Griffin AI was a great success, drawing a peak of 13K listeners.
On the product side, our development efforts this month have prioritized enhancing the security of NUM, the Mainnet, and our Capture services. Security and reliability are top priorities, and we welcome responsible disclosures from the community to help us maintain a secure platform. If you discover any vulnerabilities, please report them via this link. Beyond backend updates, we’ve also improved the Capture Dashboard, enabling NFT sellers to update prices more easily. Do log in and check out the updated UI/UX!
On the business front, the demand for content provenance continues to grow. We’ve received numerous requests from sports leagues, banking credit systems, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) solutions. This marks just the beginning of a new era. With the rise of AI agents and services, the demand for content provenance will only strengthen. In this dynamic environment, Numbers Protocol remains dedicated to empowering users, safeguarding digital rights, and delivering verifiable content authenticity.
Last but not least. Our community review about the support for additional popular L2 chains is still ongoing, make sure you chime in, let us know which chain you’d like us to support and help us grow even further!
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
