Papyrus Completes Performance and Stress Tests for Its Decentralized Advertising Ecosystem

SINGAPORE, April 17, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Papyrus is an open source scalable blockchain platform specifically designed to fight all digital advertising issues – fraudulent traffic, brand safety issues, excessive middleman fees, and the absence of supply chain transparency. It has unique features that make it a feasible solution for practical adoption – low transaction costs, privacy management, and execution of smart contracts based on large data volumes. Unlike other platforms, Papyrus offers a scalable solution, using blockchain technology, tailored to the digital ads market.

On top of its blockchain platform, Papyrus provides decentralized monitoring and money flow management tools for digital advertisers and publishers, which help them to get visibility on third-party partners and ad agencies, control money streams, optimize supply chain efficiencies, and give them the ability to counteract fraudulent activities. These tools cannot be manipulated by any parties: data for monitoring is stored immutably and money flow management rules are automatically enforced by smart contracts. For example, advertisers can enforce automatic rules that say, “Fraudulent traffic won’t be paid for and brand safety violations will incur penalties for abusers”. Verifiers connected to the system provide data to verify these rules while blockchain technology guarantees their enforcement.

Our vision is to disrupt the current online advertising landscape which, in its current form, is riddled with inefficiencies. Our strategy includes integration of our platform with existing market players, helping them to solve issues without competing with and replacing them. We think this go-to-market approach is faster and more beneficial than others. Providing market participants with a platform that will make them more efficient, Papyrus delivers real practical benefits.

Abeed Janmohamed, CEO of Papyrus

Papyrus is a neutral solution that doesn’t compete with ad platforms and service providers while bringing benefits for all of them (if they are not engaged in prohibited or fraudulent activities). Papyrus connects advertisers, publishers, agencies, advertising platforms and verifiers within the Papyrus blockchain network to create trust, fairness, and efficiency within the digital advertising market. Using the Papyrus solution, advertisers can, at any time, check how much of their money each publisher has received, the performance of their ad campaigns as registered by ad trackers, and what fees were given to service providers such as ad agencies, demand-side platforms, and supply-side platforms. Also, advertisers can enforce their own anti-fraud and brand safety policies. As a result, advertisers have a clear view of all transactions and only pay for the services that they use.

The Papyrus platform is a unique technical solution, including an architecture with smart contracts and two blockchains (Ethereum and Papyrus), which is capable of processing raw data from billions of advertising events. The team is very focused on technology and has created a solution that can handle two major obstacles faced by blockchain adoption in digital advertising:

• Scalability with data volume - secure execution of smart contracts based on raw data with billions of data points;

• Privacy management to keep smart contracts and payment details secure, while publicly exposing aggregated information on the behavior of market participants, to establish their reputation.

Papyrus has launched its MVP (pilot decentralized advertising ecosystem) that consists of an advertising network using blockchain architecture to enable the transparent purchase of advertising inventory. The MVP is deployed on Ethereum TestNet Rinkeby and will be launched in Ethereum MainNet in a few months.

The launch of the MVP is a fundamental step in the development of more products using the Papyrus’ blockchain architecture. The MVP consists of 3 main parts:

• Papyrus Advertiser Account and Demand-Side Platform (DSP) backend

• Papyrus Publisher Account and Supply-Side Platform (SSP) backend

• Papyrus Viewability Verifier to check if ads are displayed in the viewable area of users' screen

On April 9th, 2018 the Papyrus’ team completed the performance and stress tests of its MVP ecosystem with unprecedented results. The new technology allows for the processing of billions of advertising events as raw data with 16000 transactions/sec and memory usage of 800 Mb avg. CPU usage (channel node at stable throughput): 0.6 CPU and memory usage (IPFS node) of 1 Gb.

These are impressive results that show Papyrus’ readiness for real integrations and pilot partnerships within the advertising market, which will start in May 2018. The platform is a game changer and will enable the industry to go through its next inflection point towards trust and transparency. It’s a new economy and the future of digital advertising.

“Our vision is to disrupt the current online advertising landscape which, in its current form, is riddled with inefficiencies“, said Abeed Janmohamed, CEO of Papyrus. “Papyrus endeavors to transform online advertising into a highly transparent, consistent and lucrative domain for all the participants in the advertising value chain. Our strategy includes integration of our platform with existing market players, helping them to solve issues without competing with and replacing them. We think this go-to-market approach is faster and more beneficial than others. Providing market participants with a platform that will make them more efficient, Papyrus delivers real practical benefits. We believe that such an approach will result in a faster establishment of market presence and market share for The Papyrus project”.
