Numbers (Snow) Testnet — Conclusions & Learnings
With the recent conclusion of the final phase of Numbers (Snow) Testnet campaigns, the team at Numbers could not be happier with the community’s collective involvement and feedback.
With the official launch of Numbers (Jade) Mainnet on the horizon we wanted to give a brief overview of our learnings from Numbers Testnet campaigns.
Overview
Numbers (Snow) Testnet launched on September 16th and concluded on November 7th. During this time period, the Numbers team organized 3 phases of testnet campaigns aimed at simulating real network activity, including but not limited to native NUM token transactions, uploading images and commits onto Numbers Blockchain, and viewing the on-chain history of registered digital media on Numbers Blockchain. Within that short timeframe, we saw the following:
- 47K transactions, including testnet token transfer and asset registration.
- Over 10K unique users participating across 3 Phases of Numbers Testnet campaign.
Numbers Blockchain Transactions
Phase 1 of Snow testnet aimed to simulate NUM transactions on Numbers Blockchain. Though basic in nature, this is important because transaction speeds and fees are the foundation of any blockchain project user experience. The feedback from the community was positive, as many were satisfied with the speed and affordability of NUM transactions. As a team, we are encouraged by this result and validated our decision to build Numbers Blockchain with Avalanche Subnet.
Upload Images & Commits on Numbers Blockchain
With Phase 2 of Snow testnet we asked our community to provide feedback on the core function of Numbers Blockchain: asset registration. Numbers Blockchain is designed to facilitate the core functionalities of Numbers Protocol, an asset-based protocol designed to support the entire lifecycle of the modern digital asset. One of these core functions is asset registration which allows users to chronicle their assets by creating immutable on-chain records.
For Phase 2, the feedback from the community was largely positive. Many users were successful in registering their assets and recognized the importance of creating on-chain records for digital assets. Most feedback was centered around improving the UI of the tool we created for the community. The Numbers team is committed to building solid tools for the community and will continue to pour our effects into improving.
Viewing On-Chain Asset History
Phase 3 asks our community to dive into Numbers Blockchains on-chain records for their assets history. Numbers Blockchain is the first asset-based blockchain that stores a comprehensive history of registered digital assets. Given the current landscape of digital media on the web, it’s more important than ever to be able to reference and verify creations to gain a fuller picture.
Feedback from the community in this area was also positive and excitement about the future prospects of what on-chain asset history can do for the digital media space.
Conclusion
The Numbers Protocol team is extremely satisfied with the progress of Numbers (Snow) Testnet. We are invigorated by all the positive feedback received from the community and look forward to pushing out more Numbers Blockchain features such as native NFT minting, royalty distribution and collection contracts. Stay tuned for more information!
