Monthly Founder's Letter
2026/02/06 Monthly Founder's Letter from Sofia
Dear Numbers Community,
Happy Friday! It's Sofia here with our monthly wrap-up as we head into February. 2026 is moving so fast, and the energy from our first month of the year is still carrying us forward. I am very happy to share what the team has been doing to make digital truth a reality for everyone.
Highlights from Last Week¶
We have some great news regarding our ecosystem. We are now officially listed in the x402 ecosystem! To celebrate this, our growth team started a small on-chain experiment. We wanted to show, not just tell, how our technology works. We launched a "Repost ProofSnap" mini-campaign, and it has been so much fun to see the community join in. This kind of engagement shows that building quietly and steadily really works.
Also, for our friends in Taipei, we are bringing our mission to the physical world this weekend. We are joining a special forum called "Together, Let's Walk with Pyro Image." On Saturday, February 7, we will have a "Numbers Happy Hour" where people can try our blockchain technology in person. Then, on Sunday, February 8, I will be joining a talk called "Independent Media's Web3 Way of Survival." I will be speaking with Yu Chih-Wei from PyroImage and Astro Hsu from BlockTrend about how Web3 can help creators survive and thrive. If you are in Taipei, please come to C-LAB and say hi!
New Partnerships & Growth¶
This past Tuesday, we had a very big moment for our B2B growth. We held a VIP media event at C-LAB in Taipei. Many leaders from top media groups like Central News Agency and Business Weekly came to see us. We officially launched the x402 platform, which is a new way for media to handle "machine economy." Basically, it helps media companies get paid when AI bots use their content. Instead of AI taking news for free, our technology helps create an automatic way to verify and pay for it.
I also spent some time this week sharing a deep dive into document fraud. It is a serious problem, not just fake news, but fake contracts and audits that cause real financial damage. I shared five simple signals to help organizations see if they are at risk. This is the heart of why we built Numbers Protocol. We want to help the world move from "just trust me" to "let me verify this."
Looking Forward to February¶
As we start this new month, our focus is very clear: use cases and adoption. We don't just want to build technology; we want to see it used in everyday life. Whether it is through helping newsrooms get paid by AI or helping independent creators protect their work, February will be about showing the real-world value of provenance.
Thank you for standing with us and for being part of this journey. Your support is what keeps us bold and keeps us shipping new tools. Let's make February a month of growth and trust!
Cheers, and have a lovely weekend there!
