Most importantly, users become full-fledged members of advertising ecosystem and are instantly compensated for sharing their data and responding to advertising. Thus users get new comfortable Internet environment at their service.
Publishers and dApp DevelopersTraditional web and mobile publishers and dApp developers will receive higher revenues by transparent advertising demand and benefit from instant payment settlements on blockchain. dApp developers will be able to easily create ad-based economies by utilizing ad monetization inside their apps. They will also have an opportunity to promote their dApps and token offerings via Papyrus ecosystem to the consolidated user base of existing dApps.
AdvertisersAdvertisers will benefit from the high quality traffic, as Papyrus decentralized reputation and antifraud solutions protect them from non-human and fraudulent traffic by an order of magnitude better than traditional solutions. All ad data is securely stored in scalable decentralized storages enabling traceability of all operations and eliminating fraud within ad buying intermediaries. Transparent environment with real-time advertising payments significantly reduce technology costs comparing to complicated traditional adtech solutions.
How Does It Work?These are the basic elements and technologies Papyrus uses:
1. Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts.
2. State channels network for transactions performance scalability.
3. Secure and scalable decentralized data storage for event logs.
4. Blockchain identity and reputation management systems.
