Numbers’ aim is to create an open, traceable and transparent data system which would essentially allow individuals to own and monetize their personal data. Numbers are working on a Starling Project. In this project are some of the industry giants such as the Shoah Foundation, IBM, and Stanford University. The goal is to establish these systems in order to use them in an application form on the new HTC Exodus blockchain-powered phone.
“We want to help everyone to create traceable and trustworthy data through an open data framework. By trading such data, not only can individuals get a reasonable reward, but the society also benefits because we rebuild the trust and enhance the operational efficiency in the process,” explained Bofu Chen, the co-CEO of Numbers.
He says that this investment from Binance will help them to explore new use-case scenarios and “accelerate technological and business development”. Also, they are in the works of an open library for developers. With this developers could use the Binance Chain “with more ease”.
Binance Is on Investment Spree
Numbers is a Taiwanese blockchain startup that is in the works of an open-source data framework. Their initial goal is to help governments, enterprises, and media to create an integrity assured data system. They compare their system to a traceable food network. They say that traceable contents and data would help us maintain a healthier mind and society.
Just a couple of shy months ago in the fall of 2019, Binance made its first strategic investment in China. The company invested in Mars Finance, a news platform that focuses on the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector.
Last month Binance invested in a crypto derivatives platform called FTX. Additionally, they also acquired a less known derivatives platform called JEX which now is known as Binance JEX.
Moreover, according to CZ, Binance has some great news for 2020. Changpeng Zhao says that he’s particularly excited for two deals which, in his mind, will have a “significant impact”.
