Use cases

DeFi Integration

Through partnerships like DAOLama, Degenphone numbers serve as collateral for loans or generate rental income. Users can borrow against their numbers while maintaining ownership, or rent unused numbers to others. Traditional phone numbers offer none of these financial utilities. And soon, holders will be able to stake their NFTs for rewards.

Exchange and Platform Verification

Cryptocurrency exchanges require phone number verification for account security. Degenphone numbers work for this purpose on platforms like Binance, Coinbase, and other exchanges. The numbers receive verification codes the same way carrier-issued numbers do because they connect to real telecom infrastructure.

Social Media Registration

WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms accept Degenphone numbers for account registration. Services send SMS verification codes to these numbers without distinguishing them from traditional mobile numbers.

Privacy Protection

Users who want to separate their verification activities from their primary identity can use Degenphone numbers. No KYC requirement means registering for services without connecting them to personal documents or main phone numbers. This matters for people who value operational security.

Multi-Account Management

Businesses running multiple brands, marketers managing client accounts, or individuals operating several projects can own multiple numbers without carrier complications. Each number works independently and doesn't require separate carrier contracts or physical SIM cards.

Cross-Border Operations

Digital nomads and international businesses face carrier restrictions when moving between countries. Degenphone numbers work anywhere with internet connection, eliminating the need to buy local SIMs or deal with roaming fees. The number stays functional regardless of physical location.
