VIDY ICO

What is the VIDY layer?
Vidy has invented the first single-page invisible embed layer for video, run on the Ethereum blockchain.

With just a hold, users can now reveal tiny hyper-relevant videos hidden behind the text of any page on the web, unlocking a whole new dimension to the internet.

Why We Created Vidy
$16B : Of lost funds every year stolen from ad fraud

$23 : Of user data fees from unwanted ads each month

44% : Of all ads are interacted with by humans, the rest are all bots

21% : Of daily battery drain from unwanted ads

600M : devices run ad blockers

0.02% : Of banner ads get tapped per 1000 impressions

4.9% : Of interstitial ads which hijack your whole screen get tapped

66% : Of all ad fraud comes from video, yet video makes up only 44% of all advertising

$50B : Of yearly ad fraud losses anticipated for the next 10 years

30% : Of advertisers are demanding more video ad real estate

The VIDY Ecosystem
Vidy’s ad placement mechanism is a proprietary open-source NLP protocol, run by miners, that automatically places video ads on a massive scale into the hyper-relevant text of millions of publisher pages.
Publisher / Advertiser Dashboard

Publishers and advertisers get acccess to a dashboard where they can manage their campaigns and upload their video advertisements. They can adjust live campaigns, view statistics on each campaign and individual video ad’s performance, and see analyrics on users and publishers to evaluate how they are performing and iterate copy and creative accordingly.

Video Ads

Circular hyper-relevant tiny videos that pop up while holding down on Vidylinks.

Application Layer

The application layer is the consumer-facing distributor of video ads across the web, encapsulated in an SDK that can be installed with just a tap by any publisher.

Indexed Websites

Vidy indexes hundreds of millions site pages and parses the natural language on screen for matching against the NLP Protocol. This becomes the total available inventory for ad placement on live ad campaigns.

NLP Protocol

Vidy’s ad placement mechanism is a proprietary open-source NLP protocol that automatically places video ads on a massive scale into the hyper-relevant text of millions of publisher pages.

Consensus Layer

The consensus layer receives user data along with ad performance information from the data layer and processes it as inputs in the placement-scripts that it runs. This is done in conjunction with decrypting the smart contracts that are handed off for user-data target application.

Data Layer

The data layer is the foundation of the Vidy Ad distribution platform, concurrently communicating with the application consensus layers, and transparently maintaining all incoming data in the immutable Vidy ledger. The data layer maintains a record of all embed placements, hold times, VidyCoin payouts, VidyCoin staked balances, and all VidyCoin transactions via the application layer’s one-tap purchase modal.
