Today I record a project that I have been following before KuCoin listed it, which name is Numbers Protocol @numbersprotocol. According to Numbers’ statistics, about 2,500,000 images are stolen every day. Some of these images are commercialized for profit, while others are edited to create fake news to attract attention. These actions have seriously damaged the rights and interests of creators.However, in the Web2.0 world, these images are firmly controlled by centralized service providers, and it is hard for creators to defend their rights and obtain due rights.
To solve these existed problems, Numbers @numbersprotocol has built a decentralized photo network for Web3.0 that aims to address the 4 pillars of the digital asset dilemma: ownership, provenance, ecosystem and most important copyright. Digital assets created in the Numbers Protocol network can be traced, verified and most importantly have copyright claimed.
Creating an digital asset is simply divided into three steps:
Step 1: Creation
Photos and videos created with Capture App, coined as “Captures” have metadata embedded into the asset itself according to CAI / C2PA standards. Metadata includes the content’s context of creation, on-chain record and most importantly digital signature.
Step 2: Allowing the Photo to speak for itself（Verifying）
Media Integrity Verification retrieved the CAI injected information upon upload and does an integrity check (Digital Signature & Integrity Information). If the digital contents are corrupted or tampered with then the integrity check will fail. If the check passes then the contents of the digital content will appear as a Chronicle Record.
Step3: Claim Copyright
“Captures” are digitally signed with ETH wallet private key. This wallet private key can be imported into MetaMask and connected to Media Integrity Verification site and cross checked with the contents recovered CAI data to claim copyright. Following successful copyright, users unlock NFT minting permission or general usage.
* The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) is a Joint Development Foundation project that brings together the efforts of the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) and Project Origin. Steering Committee Members include Adobe, Microsoft, Twitter, Intel and so on. Numbers Protocol @numbersprotocol is one of the General Members.
At present, besides the core product Capture, Numbers Protocol also provides a developer tool — Seal API, for third-party personnel to easily build apps. In additions, there is an NFT Search Engine based on content and Web3. If the NFT is stored on IPFS, the relevant information of the NFT can be queried through the CID, which is also the first NFT search engine for NFT , currently supports Opensea, Rarible, SuperRare, CaptureClub, etc.

Numbers Protocol @numbersprotocol is a Taiwan startup founded in May 2019. There are three founders, Bofu Chen and Dr. Tammy, both of whom are technology masters.
Bofu is the top-five open-source developer of TW 2017, and the consultant and opinion leader of blockchain and data policy in Taiwan. He is also the architect and developer of BerryNet and Mediant open-source projects. Dr.Tammy is a data scientist and a particle physics PhD graduated from Manchester University. They co-found a company named DT42, which is a technology company focusing on A.I & deep learning.DT42 also open-source the core engine, BerryNet, which is popular in education and IoT industries. Sofia is the co-founder and CGO at Numbers, who has 8+ experience in sales and marketing.Before joining Numbers, she worked for an AI startup and an intellectual property valuation firm as a sales and the head of business development.
Investors：
Angel investors are mainly the following three person.
Phil Chen: Partner of Race Capital, has invested in several successful companies in the field of blockchain and computer vision.
Steve Chen: Co-founder and former CTO of Youtube.
Kevin Lin: Co-founder and former coo of Twitch.
Institutional investors are Protocol Labs (Project Party of $FIL) and Binance. One is the leader of decentralized storage , which provides sufficient support for the infrastructure. The other is a centralized exchange leader, giving enough attention to the blockchain industry.
1\ Add some functions in ’Capture‘, such as ‘Beautifying Function’ and ‘Filter Function’. Because huge mounts of young people in Asia, especially girls who are high on use App to beatify selfie, and then post pics to social media. And therefore this is a huge group, which is worth grasping the opportunity. So we can refer to the early winner in Web2.0, Meitu Inc.
2\ Try to cooperate with grassroots stars and internet celebrities, like Irene or Ghozali. Their success makes us know ordinary people can also issue NFTs, fortunately, which is in your field of expertise. So I think you could make an attempt to create internet celebrities and drive people to join the community with profit.
3\ The UI of capture could be better. At present, it is slightly simple. Compared with the blue-and-white color of capture, I prefer the black-and-white color like official website color, but it is in the stage of testNet now.
4\ In the short and medium term, who could Numbers be benchmarked against? Whether Numbers becomes Instagram or Flickr in Web3 Era?
Social Dapp is easier to be into the public. But if all social data is on the chain, could the bandwidth be satisfied under the current blockchain infrastructure? If Numbers follow the direction of tool DAPP, it must be a copyright guardian in obscurity during the early time. Maybe it is a good idea cooperate with SocialFi project parties to consolidate your underlying technology and learn social experience at the same time.
In short, Numbers@numbersprotocol is looking forward to in terms of track selection, products system and team members.
