4th July 2025¶
Co-founder's Summary Letter
2025/7/4 Co-founder's Summary Letter from Sofia
Dear Numbers Community, Happy Friday! It’s Sofia here with our monthly wrap-up as we step into bright, sun-filled July. The first week of summer has been full of energy, new tools, and strong community wins, and I’m excited to share them with you.
Last week we officially released ProofSnap, our lightest camera tool yet. With one tap you can take a photo and lock in Content Credentials that show up right away on platforms like LinkedIn. In our short demo post, the LinkedIn badge appeared in seconds, proving how easy it is to add trust to every image you share.
Our Lead of Ecosystem Growth, White, also sat down with China Times for a long interview about AI, authenticity, and how Numbers brings facts back into digital media. The piece is now in post-production and will air soon, sharing our mission with one of Taiwan’s largest news audiences.
On the ground in Kyoto, Sherry joined IVS 2025 and walked the busy halls with our mascots Niko and Neko. They showed founders, investors, and creators how ProofSnap turns everyday moments into rock-solid evidence. The buzz around provenance opened new talks with partners that we will follow up on in July.
We ended June with our normal Quarterly Burn and Buy-Back, permanently removing 6,000,209 $NUM—about US $104,000—from circulation. This keeps us on pace to retire half of the original one-billion supply while supporting a healthy token economy for everyone who believes in transparent media.
Looking ahead, July will bring a smoother ProofSnap onboarding flow, deeper LinkedIn integration, and the first public beta of our browser plug-in for instant credential checks. On the community side, DAO Proposal 12 is coming soon and will focus on expanding validator rewards. Watch Discord for the discussion and be ready to vote.
Thank you for your constant encouragement and bright ideas. Every post you share, every photo you snap, and every vote you cast pushes us closer to a world where truth is effortless and visible.
Cheers, and have a lovely weekend there!
Warm regards,
Sofia Yan
