A new contest is upon us. And one that for me personally is interesting, as my background is in marketing, I value crypto and it's decentralized nature, and Publish0x is using AdShares, the decentralized advertising platform that this contest is all about...

1. What is the Topic You Can Write About in the #WhatIsAdshares Contest and Giveaway?

Write about anything related to the Adshares and it's ecosystem. 

You can write anything about Adshares ($ADS), the first web3 decentralized advertising protocol.

Sounds Great! What Exactly is Adshares (ADS)?

Welcome to a 100% decentralized advertisement marketplace and the first major real time bidding (RTB) successor. Adshares is a decentralized auction protocol designed for advertising. It utilizes offline auctions and micropayments in $ADS cryptocurrency to enable competitive pricing of ad space.

• AdShares are the pioneers of AdTech industry.
• Adshares is the first 100% decentralized marketplace for programmatic advertising, also being one of the most advanced blockchain-based projects in the advertising market. The network uses its own, unique blockchain to connect publishers and advertisers allowing them to make direct deals.
• Adshares offers CPM, CPA, popup and popunder campaigns along with some clever AdBlock bypass technology that that allows advertisers to reach more clients and publishers to earn more.
• Due to our background, the network specializes in crypto and blockchain advertising, but can also help you reach audiences in many other niches.

Note: Since there is no requirement of a minimum deposit, Adshares is very popular amongst small and medium advertisers.

Adshares protocol is now powering network of adservers that provide monetization of ad space for web apps. The network is handling over 6 million ad views per day. Auction protocol is impartial to type of ad inventory being sold. Thanks to that, our decentralized auction protocol can also be used in other domains of marketing, like inside metaverse.

Adshares competes with GoogleAds in order to decentralise the advertising market. Adshare’s goal is to utilize NFTs in order to help projects with marketing in the Metaverse. With Facebook’s rebranding to Meta, they now see that the Metaverse trend will only get bigger.

It’s quite possible that Facebook will also display ads in its Metaverse. Adshares mission is to display ads or even art everywhere else, in all different kinds of Metaverses. Naturally, in a decentralized way to eliminate 3rd parties which collect a tremendous amount of fees from Publishers and Advertisers.
