2026/01/23 Weekly Summary Letter
Hey NUMBERS community,
This was Partnership Week. We announced four new collaborators building AI with verifiable context from the start: Ephyra AI, OptimAI, MWX AI, and Tearline AI. The shared goal is simple, if an AI agent touches it, you should be able to verify it. Provenance becomes part of the workflow so key actions, datasets, and outputs leave receipts that anyone can check. Human truth, machine proof by design.
Ephyra AI is exploring provenance rails for AI entertainment so outcomes ship with verifiable context. OptimAI framed the need bluntly: AI needs more than intelligence; it needs proof. MWX AI is exploring how datasets, pipelines, and results are auditable end-to-end. Tearline set the tone for trustworthy, provable automation, giving agents a “brain and backbone” built on receipts. Together, these partners move us from promises to proofs across creator and agent workflows.
We’re grateful for the community’s response to the KuCoin AMA POAP campaign. Participation exceeded our expectations. The campaign gives everyone a lightweight, on-chain way to participate in the Numbers ecosystem and leaves a verifiable attendance record. We’ll run more AMA POAP campaigns on a regular cadence, keeping rules simple: follow along, mint during the window, and you’re in. Hold onto your POAP for future perks.
Onward,
Chris & Steffen
