**Numbers Protocol** is a [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain)-based framework for securing the provenance of digital media by creating verifiable records of content history. It provides tools for tracking, managing, and authenticating digital assets, ensuring transparency and integrity in [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) environments. [[1]](#cite-id-ss0Qb4X7oe)

# Overview

Numbers Protocol is a decentralized system that uses [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology to secure the provenance of digital media. It records the creation and modification history of digital content, ensuring transparency in ownership and usage. The protocol functions like a decentralized version control system, allowing for secure asset tracking. Providing verifiable references for digital data helps distinguish AI-generated content and supports the development of user-owned datasets. [[2]](#cite-id-St3hTyuy7r)

# Features

## Numbers Blockchain

Numbers [Blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) is a [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) network built on [Avalanche](https://iq.wiki/wiki/avalanche) Subnet, defining its execution logic, fee structure, and networking. It is an archive for [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) digital assets, assigning each asset a unique identity (Numbers ID) that links metadata, ownership details, and historical records. This system ensures digital media remains traceable, verifiable, and immutable by binding key information to the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), such as timestamps, creation circumstances, and licensing data. By replacing earlier [IOTA](https://iq.wiki/wiki/iota) and [Avalanche](https://iq.wiki/wiki/avalanche) C-Chain solutions, Numbers [Blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) offers a cost-effective, transparent, and environmentally friendly way to record and authenticate digital asset histories.

## Nit

Nit is Numbers Protocol’s tool for managing [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) digital assets, functioning similarly to Git by recording the history of digital media on the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). It offers command-line tools and APIs for developers to interact with the Commit Contract, ensuring secure, immutable, and verifiable digital content records. [[4]](#cite-id-54DJmPJB3o)

# Products

## Capture App

Capture is Numbers Protocol’s primary content creation tool. It enables users to establish provenance and register digital media. The tool includes the Capture Dashboard for decentralized media management, the Capture SDK for interacting with [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) assets, the Capture Cam for capturing content with on-chain proof, and the Capture Eye for provenance display and monetization. Network Actions allow media to integrate with [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) services, expanding its functionality within the ecosystem. [[5]](#cite-id-MiKQl6hYOH) [[6]](#cite-id-QbUoPVBXzm)

# NUM

The NUM token is the native [utility token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/utility-token) of Numbers Protocol, facilitating security, governance, payments, content verification, and decentralized storage within the ecosystem. It supports a [delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/delegated-proof-of-stake-dpos) system, allowing holders to [stake](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) tokens with [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) securing the Numbers [Mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet). NUM also grants governance rights through the [DAO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dao), enabling token holders to vote on protocol decisions. NUM is a payment method for accessing applications and services within the ecosystem, including pay-as-you-go APIs. It is used for content verification, where staked tokens allow users to assess digital media authenticity, with rewards and penalties ensuring accuracy. Additionally, NUM incentivizes decentralized storage by compensating users who provide storage capacity to the network. [[7]](#cite-id-6s9dWf0el3) [[8]](#cite-id-KPI7as3j3G)

## Tokenomics

NUM has a total supply of 1B and has the following distribution: [[9]](#cite-id-M5jXKghlu0)
- **User Reward/Staking**: 27%- **Ecosystem**: 25.30%- **Private Sale**: 17.51%- **Team and Advisors**: 15%- **Liquidity**: 10%- **Public Sale**: 3.19%- **Pre-Listing Partners/Consultants**: 1.5%- **Marketing**: 0.5%
# NumbersDAO

NumbersDAO is the decentralized governance system overseeing the Numbers Protocol. It allows community members to participate in decision-making and manages strategic direction, resource allocation, proposal voting, content verification standards, and dispute resolution. The [DAO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dao) ensures transparent governance and enables token holders to influence the protocol’s development. [[10]](#cite-id-1OyvKiq6AJ)

## Roles

NumbersDAO consists of five roles with distinct responsibilities. Pebble [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) holders can participate in discussions but lack voting power. Snow [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) holders can both participate and vote. Rose [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) holders, selected from active contributors, can propose initiatives. Sky [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) holders, nominated by existing members, advise on content governance. Night [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) holders, also nominated, provide expertise on the protocol, [tokenomics](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tokenomics), and [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) projects. Except for Pebble holders, all roles have voting rights in [DAO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dao) meetings. [[11]](#cite-id-0jZYIVn9Xm)
