AdsDax is a digital advertising platform founded in 2013 that aims to solve endemic problems in the advertising industry, such as fraud and a lack of transparency, by removing intermediaries and fostering direct, value-based connections between brands and consumers.
The core of AdsDax's service is a self-serve advertising platform that allows brands to create, buy, and sell advertising in a transparent environment. A key feature of their model is the use of incentivised experiences, where consumers are rewarded with digital assets for their engagement with advertising content. This approach, which leverages AI for campaign optimization, is designed to move beyond superficial metrics such as "likes" to drive authentic engagement and build brand loyalty. The platform supports a variety of ad formats, including interactive and video ads, and is utilised by major advertising agencies.
AdsDax uses the Hedera Consensus Service to track and verify millions of advertising events such as impressions, clicks, and conversions in real-time. Each event is recorded on the Hedera public ledger, creating an immutable and auditable trail that provides a single source of truth for advertisers and publishers. This allows for the automated and near-instantaneous settlement of payments to publishers and rewards to consumers using cryptocurrencies.
