Web3.0 Beginning: Numbers Network Actions LIVE NOW!
Following a successful trial phase, we are happy to announce that Numbers Network Actions is FULLY LIVE and operational!
This is a milestone moment because it marks the beginning of a new Web 3.0 photo experience! Once a photo is registered to the network, you can easily opt-in to a variety of services including NFT listing, Gifting, Publication, Social, and even offline printing.
PAST: Digital Media in Web2.0
The current iteration of the web is often characterized as the “Social Web” and Digital media files are “locked” in the centralized server once they are uploaded. If you want to share a photo with friends on Instagram and monetize it on Shutterstock at the same time, you need to upload it twice.
Despite being the center of social interactions, digital media offer little to no value to platforms on the current web in terms of utility and monetization as platforms prioritize user data rather than the digital content itself. This lack of prioritization resulted in unprotected digital content subject to infringement and platform structures that serve only to bottleneck digital media.
FUTURE: Digital Media in Web3.0 Photo Network
Web3.0 is the next evolution of the internet and with it brings a fundamental change in how digital media are viewed and how photo services operate. In Web3.0, digital media are registered, have clear ownership records, and stand alone in a “Content-Based” web. This coupled with Numbers Protocol enabling digital media to be traced and verified allows digital media to be viewed as assets and have value.
In contrast to the confined nature of digital media in Web2.0, digital media are “free” in the open Web3.0 space. This means a single digital media can opt-in into multiple services without the need for additional onboardings or reuploads to separate platform servers. If you want to share a photo with friends and monetize it, you don’t need to upload it twice to two servers. One registration to the Web 3.0 Photo Network and your photo can be used in multiple network actions and bring more value to it. The more vast the ecosystem, the greater the amount of digital content can do. This is the power of Numbers Network Actions!
Understanding Numbers Capture APP & Network Action
For many people, their entry point into Numbers Protocol is Capture App. Most people know Capture App as the Instagram for Web 3.0 or a Blockchain camera, however, Capture APP is much more. In combination with Network Actions, Capture App can be:
- Instagram + Shutterstock // Capture App + CaptureClub
- Instagram + Ohmynews.com // Capture App + Reporter
- Instagram + PaperlessPost // Capture App + Gift CarInstagram + Google Drive // Capture App + Web3.0 Archive
- MORE ….
NOW: Network Actions is FULLY LIVE and operational
Network Actions in the Numbers Web3.0 Photo Network are services that registered digital media can opt-into. These services include Web3.0 asset registration, listing onto NFT marketplaces, and storage onto more robust forms of decentralized storage. As the Numbers ecosystem grows, Network Actions can expand into additional areas such as social media, news, gaming, and entertainment.
The Capture App plays an important role to help users generate Web 3.0 photos, register, and allow digital media to be able to opt-in to many services. At launch, we will be supporting 3 major types of network actions: Marketplace Listings, Gift Sharing, and Web3.0 archive with other services such as Opensea Listing, News Publication, Social Feeds, Physical Prints, and many more in the coming future.
Web 3.0 Photo Network Powered with NUM
NUM, the native token of the Numbers Photo Network, will power all Network Actions. This means that all services will require NUM payment furthering its utility. This might be a concern for you, however, do not worry! There will be return mechanisms, special discounts, and even future airdrops for existing Capture users to help them get NUM and enjoy a seamless transition. Stay Tuned!
