EXCHAIN is a decentralised blockchain-based advertising platform which is driving a revolution in the digital advertising ecosystem.
The global digital advertising market stood at $228.44 billion in 2017, demonstrating the continuous strong growth of digital advertising worldwide. This growth, however, has created new challenges and leaves behind insurmountable gaps in terms of regulation, cost and trust.
Today’s long and inefficient ad chain comprises of numerous intermediaries sitting between advertisers and publishers. The chaos these intermediaries have created does not only contribute to the loss of control of brand safety but, just as importantly, significantly increases the cost of serving an ad.
Fraud remains one of the most persistent and incurable issues in digital advertising. In 2017, ad fraud losses are estimated to be $6.5B globally. Advertisers are forced to apply various anti-fraud solutions to clean up their advertising inventory.
This current lengthy post-campaign payment mechanism poses a great financial risk on publishers and service providers and this prevents them from offering their services to a wider range of advertisers on a global basis.
The EXCHAIN platform is a blockchain-based and decentralised application which will shape a revolution in the digital advertising ecosystem. The platform will bring an unprecedented new level of transparency to executing and conducting digital advertising.
The EXCHAIN platform provides full transparency of ad spend and impression volumes at every stage of the ad chain, by using blockchain’s decentralised storage mechanism.
The EXCHAIN platform will prevent revenue from being taken by fraudulent operators as they will not have access to a revenue receive gateway.
The EXCHAIN platform replaces traditional paper insertion orders with digital smart contracts enabling real-time payment processing.
The EXCHAIN platform is meticulously designed to be easily accessible and open for all advertising stakeholders to obtain the benefits of transparency, anti-fraud and real-time payment processing. It's design also allows all stakeholders to use the platform without having to modify their existing systems to be blockchain compatible.
Including brands and agencies who are highly motivated to eliminate ad chain intermediaries and fraudulent traffic, and gain absolute clarity over ad spend.
Including web publishers and app developers who need to protect their financial interests and receive their revenue payments efficiently.
Including DSPs, SSPs and DMPs who want to attract more premium ad spend, establish a better reputation and gain wider industry collaboration.
The linear distribution of ad spend makes it impossible for advertisers to know exactly how much they pay to each participant in the ad chain and it creates opportunities to impose hidden fees.
EXCHAIN reveals all cost elements associated to a campaign and unlocks the possibility for advertisers to remove all imposed and inflated costs and optimise their ad spend pattern.
Complex processes to audit ad spend across all stakeholders making it impossible to uncover dishonest activity in many cases due to protection of sensitive data and the high costs of legal pursuit.
EXCHAIN anonymises and stores all ad event data and spend transactions on a public ledger where the data records cannot be tampered with, making ad spend and impression audits simple to execute.
Advertisers have to work constantly to keep their whitelist updated in order to purchase traffic from quality suppliers, which is a costly and time consuming process that can incur errors.
Using blockchain hosted smart contracts,the EXCHAIN platform allows advertisers to acquire quality traffic and impressions without manual input and with the lowest possibility of errors.
Platforms act like walled gardens ignoring the potential to enable greater advertising collaboration and advance the industry, by leveraging multiple platforms.
The EXCHAIN platform is designed to have key modules as open source, allowing greater advertising collaboration to deliver enormous common benefits.
The EXT token creates a cryptographic means for the EXCHAIN platform to perform transparency, anti-fraud and payment processing functions and is the vital link between EXCHAIN and other existing ad platform products.
