What is VIDY?
VidyCoin is a cryptocurrency of the VIDY network. VIDY is the first decentralized ad network, which provides an opportunity to work with an advertisement in a completely different way. It is running on the Ethereum blockchain. With the help of VIDY users can create ads and embed ad videos to an invisible layer on websites. While reading an article, a person can hold down a word or phrase that links to a video and watch it. Videos are displayed on the basis of the NLP protocol which analyzes words across the internet and matches videos and texts. Miners drive the NLP consensus protocol that helps to publish a video. Every user receives a reward for making ads as well as for watching ads.
VidyCoins can be used in several ways within the network:
- to pay for services
- to purchase ad campaign
- to get access to premium features
