3NUM.ethConnecting 5 Billion Mobile Subscribers to Web3 With 3NUM’s Decentralized Telephony Bridge
3NUM provides users with the world’s first Web3 Mobile Number minted as a NFT, called a 3NUM Shield. These globally routable mobile numbers are created as persistent identifiers on the blockchain, giving users complete control of their web3 messaging identity. 3NUM users can securely communicate with one another via 3NUMs encrypted messaging protocol without relying on traditional telecom providers while also being able to communicate with traditional phone numbers via 3NUMs decentralized tel...
3NUM.ethBringing Avvy Domain Support to Signal.web3
Our team is a big fan of Avalanche! From its EVM compatibility, to its subnet architecture, speed and incredibly reasonable transaction fees- it’s clear why the chain has become so successful. That is why we are so excited to announce that we’re extending the functionally of Signal.web3 to support Avvy Domains, allowing users to lookup and message Signal contacts with .avax names! We made Avvy our priority as the next web3 name to support in Signal.web3, as we think it will be a great additio...
3NUM.ethSignal Drops SMS, How Will We Upgrade the World to Privacy?
Last week, Signal announced that it is dropping support for native SMS in the Android version of the Signal app. https://twitter.com/signalapp/status/1580228175807754240 For those that don’t know about Signal or how it works, it is a messaging app similar to iMessage or WhatsApp. What has made Signal unique is its focus on end-to-end encryption which means users of Signal can feel confident that their communications are private and secure. Unlike Signal on the iPhone, Signal on Android is als...

At the heart of the ΞNUM solution is our novel messaging NFT, called an ΞNUM. ΞNUMs are a new utility NFT that exists as a new “communications identifier”. An ΞNUM can be thought of as a modernized, Web3 phone number, that also doubles as a real-world phone number. Its inherent superpower is extending truly end-to-end encrypted messaging to current Web3 identifiers like Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and wallet addresses.
ΞNUMs are constructed so they can be minted on any layer 1 or layer 2 blockchain. Data, including the owner’s public key and other information needed for messaging, is assembled and hashed off chain. The resulting hashed content is then registered on chain. On Ethereum, ΞNUMs are minted as ERC721 NFTs.
Because ΞNUMs work in the real world as a valid phone number, many businesses and users will have more than one ΞNUM:
ΞNUMs that are published for the general public
ΞNUMs that are only shared with friends and family
Blockchain name services like ENS are a vital component of the Web3 ecosystem. While ENS makes it easy to lookup human-readable names, it lacks any integrations with popular secure messaging apps. By associating an ΞNUM with their ENS, users or businesses can securely find and message each other knowing only their ENS name.
Because the ΞNUM messaging app supports the Signal protocol, ΞNUM associated ENS holders can use their Web3 name natively on the Signal platform. This gives them instant access to communicate with 40 million Signal users using ENS.
We are also working on integrations with additional chains, starting with Avalanche and Solana.
Plugging your ENS or equivalent Web3 name into your new ΞNUM is straightforward. Users will simply add their unique ΞNUM address as a new record to their existing Web3 name to unlock native messaging functionality through their ΞNUM.

NFTs have become the avatar of choice for online profile pictures (PFP). With major social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram supporting NFTs, their importance and relevance will only grow over time. That said, while NFTs work as your personal avatar they cannot function as a communication identifier, preventing the opportunity for NFT to NFT messaging.
ΞNUM messaging NFTs can also be used as your PFP. Each ΞNUM is a unique piece of generative art, rendered on chain so it can never be spoofed. This plays an important role in the user experience when you receive a friend request or message from another user. You can be certain that the image represents the person you’re communicating with.
Users can also associate their existing NFTs with their ΞNUM, enabling users to directly, securely, and privately message the owner of the NFT.
The problem with phone numbers is that they are terribly insecure and are not Web3 native. Despite this fact, they are used by 5 billion people as the primary identifier for communication. Building a new paradigm shifting communication identifier means replacing legacy phone numbers with ΞNUMs. ΞNUMs let users replace these insecure phone numbers by minting a global, secure ΞNUM NFT. ΞNUM phone numbers are Web3 native and secure, preventing current vulnerabilities like SIM-swapping, spam, and SMS phishing.
The format for telephone numbers is defined by an international standard called E.164. Conforming numbers are limited to a maximum of 15 digits. The E.164 format numbers must contain only digits split as follows:
Country code (1 to 3 digits)
Subscriber number (max 12 digits)
To provide a secure solution, ΞNUM uses a reserved top-level country code for the cryptographically generated numbers. Each number under this top-level code is registered on chain by the owner of the number. In the same way that you control your Ethereum address, you will control your ΞNUM.
The elegance of this approach is that it completely decouples ownership and control over a phone number from the networking layer. Routing messages to the phone no longer depends on a SIM, meaning you could never be SIM-swapped. Furthermore, because the phone number is based on a cryptographic public key pair, the phone number can be used to initiate end-to-end encrypted messages.
We are building the future of communication, where security, privacy, and decentralization are primary tenets of its architecture. If you want a better future, stay informed with our efforts by following us on Twitter and joining our Discord server! ** **
