Living proof of how future programmatic ad networks may work

QuickSwap and Adshares just announced a historical partnership: all ads served on Quickswap.Exchange will be served programmatically, using a decentralized ad protocol from Adshares.net.

The Tesla Roadster of Decentralized Ad Networks is Here!

The integration of Adshares and QuickSwap is a living proof of how future programmatic ads may work - just like the Roadster was a living proof of how electric cars could work.

 

Despite everything that has been said and written in the space – decentralization of advertising has been a hypothesis. 

A truly decentralized advertising network was a hypothesis.

And the impact of using a blockchain technology to integrate this ecosystem was a hypothesis.

A truly programmatic network without cookies and constant user tracking was a hypothesis.

 

As of today – this is all a very real thing.

  1. All of the ads served on Quickswap come from the Adshares programmatic Real Time Settlement protocol
  2. All of those ads are served from a decentralized https://web3ads.net ad server
  3. The settlement protocol works directly on the Adshares blockchain
  4. All ad transactions (payments) are performed in real-time, using the underlying Adshares blockchain

Why is this so important? Because this is the first time we can see the usage of blockchain throughout the programmatic value chain: from the Advertiser straight to the Publisher, over a decentralized, fraud-, cookie- and censorship-free protocol.

Advertisers and Publishers may even use the same ad server – just the opposite ends of it:

  1. DSP. Advertisers can manage multiple ad campaigns, with multiple formats and targeting, along with their budgets, and detailed per-campaign reports.
  2. SSP. Publishers* can manage their advertising placements inventory, accept or reject specific ads, and see ad effectiveness reports.
  3. Ad Exchange – the Adshares protocol ensures instant matching of Ads and Placements, and then an instant monetization after an ad has been displayed.

 QuickSwap's exclusive deal with Adshares is seen as a strategic move that will mutually benefit both parties and their users. By leveraging Adshares' decentralization, transparency, and cost-effectiveness, QuickSwap aims to enhance user engagement and drive further growth in the evolving crypto marketplace.
