Description
Billboard is an on-chain advertising protocol that lets advertisers bid on targeted advertising boards in communities, apps, and websites. It uses an EVM NFT-based Harberger Tax auction model in which subsequent higher bids can generate profit for earlier advertisers. Auction tax revenue goes to a treasury for creator distribution through quadratic funding, and its open-source stack supports web2 and web3 app integration.Category: Customer Engagement Platform
