Introduction
As the world’s data slowly decentralizes, many industries have been shown to have a more fair and transparent decentralized alternative. Finance, insurance, ticketing, social media, file storage and computing are all examples where a decentralized future looks bright. Yet, digital advertising continues to be an industry in which centralization is the predominant model without an open alternative.
Centralized advertising is marked by the concentration of power in the hands of a few giants. These platforms have amassed vast amounts of user data, granting them significant control over the advertising ecosystem. This concentration leads to limited competition, reduced innovation, and challenges to advertisers, publishers and consumers. Lack of transparency, ad fraud, user experience challenges, and limited user control of their data highlight the shortcomings of this model.
We’re proposing The Open Ads Protocol. An open, permissionless and decentralized advertising protocol to create transparent and fair advertising experiences. It will serve as a decentralized advertising layer that can be built upon to create a robust advertising ecosystem that facilitates a more fair, user-centric, attention economy.
At the heart of OAP lies the $OAP token, a key component that streamlines transactions across the platform. Serving as the currency for bidding on ad spaces and making payments, the $OAP token is central to our vision of a more efficient and equitable advertising ecosystem.
Nectar, as a front-end application built on the Open Ads Protocol, provides an interface for users to interact with our platform. It serves as a real-world demonstration of the OAP's capabilities, allowing users, advertisers, and publishers to experience first-hand the benefits of a decentralized advertising ecosystem.
Our protocol, with Nectar as its front-end, targets web3 games, connecting users through their crypto wallets. This ensures user privacy and provides an engaging and rewarding user experience. With an emphasis on user privacy and engagement, we aspire to redefine the user-advertiser relationship, promoting mutual benefit and value exchange.
