Digital advertising has long been plagued by inefficiencies, fraud, and opacity, costing businesses billions annually while eroding trust across the supply chain. VeraViews, a leader in ad tech innovation, has introduced a transformative solution: a comprehensive, end-to-end digital advertising ecosystem. Anchored by three groundbreaking products—AdTrace, Proof of Traffic (PoT), and the VeraViews Ad Exchange—this ecosystem redefines how advertisers, publishers, and regulators interact. Each product (together forming the first pillars of the VeraViews ecosystem) addresses a critical step in the advertising supply chain, creating a transparent, secure, and efficient framework. Here’s how VeraViews is setting a new standard.

AdTrace: Building Trust Through Verification

The digital advertising industry has operated on a fragile foundation of trust, often exploited by bad actors. AdTrace, the first pillar of VeraViews’ ecosystem, eliminates this vulnerability by enforcing rigorous Know Your Business (KYB) verification. It serves as the gatekeeper to the VeraViews Ad Exchange, ensuring only legitimate, compliant businesses can participate.

How AdTrace Works

AdTrace verifies participants through a multi-layered process:

• KYB Verification: Confirms the legitimacy of businesses, ensuring advertisers and publishers are registered entities.
• Financial Tracking: Maps ad spend and revenue flows for full auditability.
• Supply Chain Mapping: Analyzes relationships between demand-side platforms (DSPs), supply-side platforms (SSPs), and publishers to prevent unauthorized reselling.
• Ads.txt & Sellers.json Validation: Authenticates supply chain integrity.

By requiring verification before any transaction, AdTrace creates a traceable ecosystem where anonymity—a key enabler of fraud—is eliminated. This isn’t just compliance; it’s a structural shift toward accountability.

Why It Matters

Fraudulent entities often exploit unchecked entry points to infiltrate ad networks, leading to issues like money laundering and misinformation campaigns. AdTrace’s proactive approach stops these actors at the door, protecting advertisers’ budgets and publishers’ revenues. For regulators, it provides clear insights into transaction volumes and relationships, fostering a cleaner industry.

Proof of Traffic (PoT): Tackling Fraud at the Source

Ad fraud, costing the industry an estimated $80 billion annually, distorts metrics and undermines campaign performance. VeraViews’ Proof of Traffic (PoT) addresses this by detecting invalid traffic (IVT) at its core, ensuring only genuine user interactions reach ad placements.

Understanding Invalid Traffic

IVT includes:

• Bots inflating impressions and clicks.
• Domain spoofing, where fraudulent sites mimic premium publishers.
• Click farms generating fake engagements.
• Ad stacking, layering multiple ads invisibly to inflate views.

PoT, an AI- and machine learning-driven system, analyzes traffic patterns to identify these anomalies before they impact campaigns.

PoT in Action

Integrated into AdTrace and the VeraViews Ad Exchange, PoT operates at the traffic level, offering:

• Pixel-Based Tracking: Monitors user behavior on web pages to detect suspicious activity.
• ML Analysis: Identifies patterns of IVT, such as bot-driven spikes or data center traffic.
• Scalable Integration: Embeds into publisher inventories and ad vendor tags for real-time fraud detection.

Unlike VeraViews’ Proof of View (PoV), which secures impression-level data via blockchain, PoT provides broader traffic quality insights, making it versatile for publishers and vendors.

Impact for Stakeholders

For advertisers, PoT ensures budgets are spent on real users, improving ROI. Publishers benefit from cleaner inventories, enhancing their credibility. Vendors gain actionable data to optimize traffic sources. By addressing IVT proactively, PoT sets a new benchmark for fraud prevention.

VeraViews Ad Exchange: A Transparent Programmatic Marketplace

The programmatic advertising supply chain is notoriously inefficient, with less than 60% of ad spend reaching publishers due to hidden fees and intermediaries. The VeraViews Ad Exchange reimagines this process, offering a secure, transparent platform for real-time bidding (RTB).

Addressing Programmatic Challenges

Programmatic advertising, which accounts for 90% of digital ad revenue, is a double-edged sword. While RTB enables precise targeting, it’s also a breeding ground for fraud—fake inventory, domain spoofing, and ad stacking thrive in its complexity. Traditional fraud solutions often lack transparency, operating as black boxes with questionable efficacy.

Features of the Ad Exchange

The VeraViews Ad Exchange integrates AdTrace and PoT to create a fraud-free marketplace:

• Verified Participants: Only KYB-certified businesses can bid or sell, eliminating unauthorized players.
• Real-Time Fraud Detection: PoT continuously monitors traffic, filtering out IVT before bids are placed.
• Full Transparency: Every impression, bid, and payout is traceable, with no hidden fees or intermediaries.
• Efficient Monetization: Publishers retain more revenue, while advertisers gain accountable spend.

This unified system streamlines the supply chain, connecting supply and demand with unprecedented clarity.

Why It’s Different

Unlike existing exchanges, VeraViews prioritizes accountability over expediency. By combining verification, fraud detection, and transparent bidding, it addresses the root causes of inefficiency. Advertisers can trust their campaigns reach real audiences, while publishers benefit from fair compensation.

A New Era for Digital Advertising

VeraViews’ ecosystem—AdTrace, PoT, and the Ad Exchange—represents a bold vision for digital advertising. Rather than patching flaws, it’s about rebuilding the system from the ground up. Each product targets a critical pain point:

• AdTrace ensures only verified players enter the ecosystem.
• PoT eliminates fraudulent traffic before it impacts campaigns.
• The Ad Exchange delivers a transparent, efficient marketplace.

Practical Benefits for Businesses

• Advertisers: Maximize ROI by targeting verified, high-quality traffic.
• Publishers: Protect inventory value and increase revenue through fair monetization.
• Regulators: Gain detailed insights into supply chain dynamics for better oversight.
