In a world where technology is constantly changing and new information is being generated at a rapid pace, it's important to have a way to preserve the most significant news and events for future generations.
Web3 Archive seeks to ensure that important information can be maintained over a long period of time and can be accessed by users regardless of where they are located or what kind of device they are using. Web3 Archive is built on top of a decentralized network, which helps to ensure that the information stored in the archive is tamper-proof and can be accessed by anyone with permission. The ultimate goal of a Web3 Archive is to provide a secure, permanent, and easily accessible repository for important information that is free from censorship and manipulation.
Numbers Archive
Numbers Protocol is a digital media library and indexing system that provides a unique identifier, called Numbers ID (Nid), for every piece of digital media registered with it. This Nid can be used to access digital media files on decentralized storage as well as digital media information archived on the blockchain.
Over the past 2 years, Numbers has worked with Starling Lab for 78 days to document the 2020 presidential election and transition with Reuters, documenting war crimes in Ukraine (the world’s 1st web3 evidence), and documenting the effects of climate change in Brazil. These examples highlight the importance of Web3 archive on Numbers Protocol in providing a secure and transparent way to preserve and access critical historical events and information.
With this experience in mind, we have decided to launch our yearly project to select different categories of events for each year and archive the selected materials. This approach will ensure that important events and information are preserved in a secure and transparent manner, making it more reliable and trustworthy for future reference. The yearly selection of different categories of events will also allow for a diverse range of information to be preserved, highlighting the different aspects of our history and culture.
Additionally, this approach will provide an organized and easily searchable way to access the archived materials, making it more accessible to researchers, scholars, and the public. Overall, this project will play a vital role in preserving our history and cultural heritage for future generations.
