We’re delighted to announce our partnership with crypto e-commerce platform, Shopping.io, to allow online shoppers to make online purchases from major retailers using Number’s native token──$NUM.

Despite being around in early 2016, virtual reality, better known now as the Metaverse, has re-emerged once again as a landscape-changing technology trend. Fueled by 2021 NFT boom, the Metaverse is a billion dollar market representing countless opportunities in the digital space.

As a decentralized photo network for Web3.0, Numbers Protocol views the Metaverse as an extension and validation of our current work building integrity in digital content, something we have been pursuing since our inception in early 2019. As long as the Metaverse is relevant, it will firmly be a part of our project’s future. Therefore, a new portal for Numbers’ token ecosystem that shares the same vision in the metaverse is welcomed and deserves our full attention.

With the integration with Shopping.io, $NUM holders now can immediately use their $NUM on the leading cryptocurrency e-commerce platform, Shopping.io, to purchase items online and globally from popular retailers including Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and The Home Depot. It not only illuminates the idea of blurring the borderline between virtual and reality but also enriches the application of Numbers’ Web3.0 ecosystem.

We are extremely excited about this addition to the Numbers ecosystem and can’t wait to see what we could bring to each other’s communities as well as the digital content space. We strongly recommend our users to check out Shopping.io as their determination to bring cryptocurrency into real-world retailers is undoubtable and ambitious.

About Shopping.io

Shopping.io is a Blockchain-based platform founded in December 2020 by drop-shipping veterans. The project envisions the future of e-commerce as an experiential decentralized marketplace, with the first step in this direction being the ability to use crypto as fiat money in an ever-growing digital world. While e-commerce giants aren’t able to accept payments in crypto, the platform serves as a gateway to shopping with crypto directly, from sites like Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Home Depot. Moreover, Shopping.io users enjoy exclusive rewards on the platform, along with a variety of token-specific discounts.
