            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*n68uYHzOnxA56QhTwAX2IQ.png" /></figure><p><em>We advise anyone unfamiliar with blockchain, distributed ledgers, and cryptographically secured chains to read this piece. Learn about the major developments, obstacles, and openings in blockchain-based systems that could affect your business strategy this year.</em></p><h3>Affitrum Blockchain: What It Is and How It Functions</h3><p>Affitrum blockchain is a distributed digital ledger (also known as a “digital node”) that allows data to be replicated, synchronized, and shared across a network of multiple servers, computers, and users located in different parts of the world. The data is stored in a configuration that is similar to a chain, and within this configuration, the history of each transaction is bundled into ‘blocks.’ These ‘blocks’ can only be built upon; they cannot be altered or copied in any way. It is a peer-to-peer network in which members verify each other’s transactions and record them in a public and chronologically ordered ledger.</p><p>The blockchain network is opposite of the centralized financial systems that have a traditional consolidated repository of all client’s transaction data. The single owner of the database is extremely vulnerable because all the information is stored in one place, which makes it easy for cybercriminals to hack into. Using blockchain, you could say that data in a distributed ledger belongs to both everyone and no one. If someone attempted to hack the system, they would have to alter data for the vast majority of participants, which is nearly impossible given the number of users. The network is incorruptible because every participant in the blockchain keeps the digital ledger current.</p><p>Affitrum will leverage on blockchain as the underlying technology to record all advertising transactions securely and immutably. By utilizing a distributed ledger, the platform can ensure transparency, prevent data manipulation, and provide a verifiable audit trail of all advertising activities. This blockchain is capable of handling all ad settlements in Affitrum tokens between Publishers and Advertisers in the digital world. The Affitrum dPoS blockchain layer is used to transfer value between advertisers and publishers.</p><h3>Is Blockchain Necessary for the Digital Ad Industry?</h3><p>The digital advertising ecosystem consists of numerous interconnected parts, including demand-side platforms (DSPs), supply-side platforms (SSPs), ad exchanges, ad networks, data management platforms, ad servers, and agency trading desks. It’s difficult to guess how many supply and demand partners engage in daily transactions through Real-Time Bidding auctions. Let’s not overlook the importance of offline markets and direct trades. In total, that could amount to billions of transactions and millions of dollars being transferred each day.</p><p>Fees are paid by media purchasers and sellers to intermediaries, such as technology providers and middlemen. Costs associated with using a platform, providing a service, processing payments, and making a purchase add up quickly. That’s a huge chunk of money to spend on advertising. However, this isn’t all about the cash. Marketers and advertisers are worried about the programmatic partnerships collapsing due to a lack of trust, transparency issues, and rampant ad fraud.</p><p>There is an urgent need for answers to all of these problems. The AdTech industry stands to benefit greatly from the implementation of Affitrum Blockchain technology. Let’s take a look at a few of them.</p><h3>Major Advantages of Affitrum Blockchain.</h3><ol><li><strong>Transparency</strong>. Every change made on the Affitrum blockchain ledger becomes public. It is verified, approved and seen by all members. Such openness of the network and peer support adds accountability and builds trust.</li><li><strong>Immutability</strong>. Once a blockchain node is created, its information cannot be changed backwards without also changing every block that came before it. This can happen if the majority of participants all make changes to the ledger at the same time. The majority of the users must sign off on a transaction before it can be added to the ledger.</li><li><strong>No third-party intermediaries</strong>. Digital and physical assets can be traded instantly thanks to blockchain-based transactions. As a result, partners can save money on transaction fees and counterparty risks are greatly mitigated or eliminated.</li><li><strong>Enhanced data quality</strong>. Blockchain data is consistent, complete, accurate, updated, verified and widely available.</li><li><strong>Distributed nature</strong>. Blockchain technology is implemented over a distributed network of computers. Digital information is saved on thousands of separate computers to ensure it is not lost in the event of a system failure or error. Since data is never stored in one central location, there is no need for data restoration or backup procedures in the event of data loss..</li><li><strong>Cybersecurity</strong>. Transactions in blockchain are associated with unique “keys” — strings of numbers that define the user and that user’s digital wallet. Cryptography is used to secure a user’s private key and offer full control of the identity and transaction history.</li><li><strong>Real-time transactions</strong>. Blockchain transactions allow for instant payments, whereas bank transactions can take two days or more. Money in bits. Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, is a good example of a practical application of blockchain technology because it is a decentralized, decentralized, and decentralized digital currency.</li><li><strong>Endless possibilities</strong>. With blockchain, users can create markets, store registries, move funds, keep records of immutable values such as currency, identity, trails of products and other data.</li></ol><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=ca5e64e4df37" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

Our project’s goal is to disrupt the current advertising ecosystem by developing an AI-powered algorithm and a Web 3.0-based advertising platform that prioritizes openness, efficiency, and individual control. Using blockchain technology, the platform will facilitate open communication between brands and their target audiences while also facilitating equitable compensation for content creators.</p><p>Affitrum is a game-changing digital advertising project that uses Web3 and AI Algorithm technologies to solve problems in the advertising sector. The project’s goals are to reduce or eliminate fraud, improve user privacy, and compensate all parties fairly. Help us pave the way for the future of digital advertising by joining us on this exciting adventure.</p><h3>Problem Statement:</h3><p>Lack of transparency, ad fraud, middlemen, and privacy concerns are just some of the problems plaguing the digital advertising industry today, both advertisers and publishers have trouble making money off of their content because of this. In addition, users’ privacy is often violated without their knowledge or consent, which can lead to distrust. Because of these issues, a different strategy for digital advertising is required.</p><h3>Our Solution:</h3><p>Affitrum proposes to use AI algorithm and Web3 technologies to transform the digital advertising industry. By utilizing blockchain, smart contracts, and decentralized Ad networks. Affitrum can introduce transparency, eliminate intermediaries, enhance privacy, and ensure fair compensation for all participants. The project aims to empower advertisers, publishers, and users, creating a sustainable and efficient ecosystem.</p><h3>Our Business Model Innovation</h3><p>The Internet Advertising Market is expected to reach $1.08 Trillion by the end of 2027. Despite the size of this market, the AdTech sector, whose sole purpose is to exist for publishers, advertisers, and brands, has been lacking in significant innovation over the past decade.</p><p>Affitrum’s business strategy is distinct, as its path to disruption involves acquiring existing ad-networks and converting them to the use of Affitrum tokens. This acquisition and conversion of an existing network strategy is exclusive to Affitrum’s core services platform and business strategy.</p><blockquote><strong>Affitrum intends to be the largest network, and thus provides the tools for other ad networks to convert to and realize the same advantages provided by our blockchain.</strong></blockquote><h3>The Goals</h3><p>Our goal is to create the proper kind of community — one that promotes intercultural understanding, creates trust between members who are strangers, guarantees full transparency, and ensures that every member adheres to the standards of the community.</p><p>Moving the digital advertising ecosystem into Web3 will not be an easy thing to do, and it will require a collaborative mindset. With more and more companies joining the ecosystem, there will be a need for a decentralized organization that should govern the blockchain and the protocol. This is the reason why Affitrum has decided to take a further step in shaping the future of AdTech by setting up the Affitrum Network and services.</p><blockquote><strong>Empowering Transparent and Efficient Digital Advertising through A.I Algorithm &amp; Web3 Products.</strong></blockquote><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=eb2d6e99b942" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
