An EVM-compatible testnet for Numbers Protocol (Chain ID 10508) focused on media provenance and content authenticity, using NUM for low-cost asset registry and verifiable credentials.
Numbers Testnet is the public testing network for Numbers Protocol (native currency: NUM) used to prototype and validate content-provenance workflows such as capturing, registering, and verifying media integrity before mainnet deployment. Primary use cases include building apps that mint and manage provenance records for photos/videos, integrating storage (e.g., IPFS) and bridge flows, and testing cross-chain verification with the NUM-based asset registry. For performance context: average gas cost is effectively $0 via faucet, block confirmations are seconds-level, TPS is sufficient for provenance tasks, and activity is bursty and developer-driven (check official explorers linked from https://numbersprotocol.io for live stats).
Numbers Testnet is unique in that it is purpose-built for verifiable media: it binds cryptographic asset fingerprints and provenance metadata to on-chain records, enabling transparent audit trails and human-readable asset pages. Unlike general-purpose L1 testnets focused on DeFi throughput, it prioritizes accuracy and traceability, offers capture-to-chain SDKs and public registries, and is designed to interoperate with multiple chains via bridges for wider verification. In practice, this yields negligible testnet gas, fast seconds-level finality, and steady TPS tuned for provenance workloads rather than high-frequency trading.
Numbers Testnet uses NUM as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain NUM by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge NUM to Numbers Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Numbers Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Numbers Testnet you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Numbers Testnet to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send NUM on Numbers Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Numbers Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of NUM to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
