3NUM was started because of a SIM Swap attack and ending SIM Swaps for good is a core part of our mission! This quickstart guide explains what SIM Swaps are, common questions and misconceptions about the problem, and how to protect yourself against this type of mobile fraud.

The 3NUM team is thrilled to announce its membership acceptance into the ITU-T as an associate of Study Group 2. This membership acceptance is an integral step in 3NUM advancing its development of the world’s first E.164 Web3 Mobile Number, called a 3NUM Shield.

3NUM provides users with the world’s first Web3 Mobile Number minted as a NFT, called a 3NUM Shield. These globally routable mobile numbers are created as persistent identifiers on the blockchain, giving users complete control of their web3 messaging identity. 3NUM users can securely communicate with one another via 3NUMs encrypted messaging protocol without relying on traditional telecom providers while also being able to communicate with traditional phone numbers via 3NUMs decentralized telephony bridge.

ENS is a vital component to the Ethereum ecosystem and has fundamentally changed the way users experience and interact with web3. By transforming clunky 42-character wallet addresses into human readable names the ability to interact with one another on-chain is made dramatically better. The applications of ENS are just as expansive as regular wallet addresses — with one key difference — these human readable names have become collectable due to their potential for rarity or uniqueness. As such, the desire for collecting different types of ENS names has grown exponentially, including number based ENS names (often referred to as Digits) with the most collectable being the 999, 10k and 100k club (which are 3, 4 and 5 digit ENS numbers respectively).
