This week, Numbers Protocol has made several updates and announcements. Here is a summary of the most important events:\


## Product:

* In the latest releases, 0.72.4 on the App Store / Google Play, the update includes the integration of the Numbers Mainnet as the default blockchain chain, replacing the previous BEP20.
