KNS links your phone number to a [non-fungible token (NFT)](https://ethereum.org/en/nft/#:~:text=A%20way%20to%20represent%20anything,contracts%20on%20the%20Ethereum%20blockchain.). ## Overview The Karrier Numbering System (KNS) is designed to act as a conduit between the traditional Web2 and the evolving Web3 domains. Conventional communication systems fall short of providing the fundamental attributes that enable digital engagement with financial systems, while Web3 offers enhanced digital access to blockchain ecosystems that have [Decentralized Finance (DeFi)](https://ethereum.org/en/defi/) as their financial infrastructure. The amalgamation of the two allows users to have a wallet directly associated with their phone number. This simple yet powerful integration enables smooth transactions, facilitating effortless payments and augmenting the potential for peer-to-peer exchanges. The solution that has been selected for the digital identity is Karrier One Inc. Karrier Number System powered by Sui. ### KONE and KNS Profiles KONE, as the default currency, is used for transactions involving the purchase of KNS profiles, especially those that come with a premium phone number. KNS profiles can be minted through the [Karrier One Dashboard](https://dashboard.karrier.one/login?redirect=%2F). ### KNS Module The KNS Module functions through [Foundational Nodes](/network-faq/node-information/what-is-a-foundational-node.md). Information on our KNS Modules can be found [here](/network-faq/node-information/what-is-a-foundational-node.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://faq.karrier.one/network-faq/kns-digital-identity.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
