**The ΞNUM team is incredibly excited to announce that we are accepting sign-ups for our Signal + ENS Alpha!**

**You can sign up for our alpha by** [**clicking here**](https://www.enum.wtf/signal-ens-waitlist) 

What is in this alpha release?
------------------------------

This alpha is a desktop version of Signal that supports ENS lookups. This means that ENS owners can add their phone number as a new text record to look up and message existing Signal users knowing only their ENS! Because this alpha is a modified version of Signal, you will be able to message the existing 40 million Signal users. We think this will be a valuable public good for the nearly 500k ENS owners who want to use their Ethereum name on Signal.

Other consideration with this alpha release:
--------------------------------------------

*   **Easy Integration**
    

Setting up your ENS with our modified Signal desktop client is easy and simply requires adding your number as a new text record with the ENS you want to use for Signal messaging.  

*   **Message Existing Contacts**
    

Because our alpha is a modified version of Signal, you will be able to link your current account and message your existing Signal contacts. 

*   **Familiar UI**
    

This alpha uses the same UI as the existing Signal Desktop app, making it friendly and familiar.

*   **Supported Operating Systems**
    

This alpha will support MacOS, Windows and Linux. Our team is working on a mobile version that will be released later this year. 

*   **Open Sourced**
    

This Signal + ENS alpha is and will always be fully open sourced!

*   **Full Platform Coming Soon**
    

This alpha connects your ENS to our modified Signal desktop client without the ΞNUM NFT. Our full platform will launch later this year supporting secure ΞNUM’s to replace your current phone number.

**If you are ready for your ENS on Signal than join our Alpha today!**
