The market

Built like a real ad market

Prepaid wallets, escrowed budgets, an auditable ledger for every micro-dollar, and human review on every creative.

Everyone serves

No winner-take-all auction. Every approved campaign gets airtime - your rate sets your share, so smaller budgets still reach real screens.

Country takeovers

Own the frontal space. Book 1–6 hours of exclusive serving in any country - your ad is the only one shown until the window ends or credits run out.

Country targeting

Campaigns target one of 18 countries or go global. Developers set their location once; the right ads find the right screens.

Real cash-outs

Earnings accrue per verified view, to the micro-dollar. Cash out to PayPal, bank or UPI, with every request tracked from pending to paid.

Streaks & levels

Earn every day and your streak grows. Climb Bronze → Silver → Gold → Diamond as lifetime earnings stack up.

Leaderboard & referrals

A weekly top-earners board keeps it competitive, and referral links pay a bonus to both sides the moment a friend signs up.

Pricing

Pay for attention, not ad space

No bundles to pre-buy. A view only costs money when a developer actually watched your line for the full five seconds - and anything undelivered comes straight back to your wallet.

FAQ

What am I actually paying for?

Verified attention only. A view counts when your line was genuinely on a developer's screen for the full five seconds; a click counts once per minute per person. No bundles, no pre-bought inventory you might never use - undelivered budget is always refundable.

How do developers get paid?

Every impression and click credits your balance instantly at the platform revenue share (up to 50%). Cash out from $5 via PayPal, bank transfer or UPI; every movement is a ledger entry you can audit.

What stops fake views?

Server-side guards: minimum 4s between impressions, 60s click dedup per campaign, a daily view cap per developer, and human review of every creative before it serves.

What's a takeover?

Exclusive frontal space. For a booked window (min 1h, max 6h) your ad is the only one shown in that country, at a premium hourly rate - it runs until the window ends or your credits run out.
