The NUMbers Protocol, anchored by the NUM token, introduces a decentralized photo network via Web3.0. Each photo acquires a unique Web3.0 identity, ensuring one-time registration and monitored modifications. It emphasizes photo authenticity and traceability. Core tech encompasses IPFS/Filecoin for storage, a dedicated blockchain, NFTs for ownership, and C2PA for content provenance. The NUM token promotes content creation, rewards authenticity guardians, and facilitates service access. Metadata splits into private (protected) and public (blockchain). Incentives include: Integrity Reward for authentic content, Verification Reward based on expert-community trust, and Staking Reward. NUM also acts as payment within the network. Incepted in 2019 by Bofu Chen, Tammy Yang, and Sofia Yan, the objective is to fortify photo/video authenticity using Web3.0.
