Two updates in one post today. We just launched the Adbytes Directory, a new way to discover and get discovered across the crypto and web3 space. And on April 15th we burned another 291,270 ADBYTES tokens, permanently removing them from the total supply. Here is what you need to know about both.
Introducing the Adbytes Directory
The Adbytes Directory is a curated, searchable index of cryptocurrency and blockchain websites: exchanges, wallets, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, mining tools, faucets, news outlets, developer resources, and other online services across the crypto and web3 ecosystem.
You can browse by category or search across all listings. Each entry includes a title, description, and a direct link. No spam, no noise, just relevant resources organized and ready to explore.
Getting Your Project Listed
If you run a crypto project, web3 service, or any blockchain-related website, the directory gives you a straightforward way to get in front of our audience. Submitting your site creates a permanent, searchable listing on the platform, useful for visibility, backlinks, and reaching a community of active crypto users and advertisers who already call Adbytes home.
To get listed, visit the directory and submit your site. It takes a few minutes.
Why Add a Directory?
Advertising is one way to grow a project. Being findable is another. The Adbytes Directory gives crypto projects a third way to spend ad credit on the platform, one focused on long-term discoverability rather than impressions and clicks. And for our existing users, it adds a genuinely useful resource to the platform beyond just earning and redeeming ADBYTES.
291,270 ADBYTES Burned
On April 15, 2026, we burned 291,270 ADBYTES, permanently removing them from the total supply. These tokens were accumulated through platform redemptions: users and advertisers converting their ADBYTES balances into advertising credit on the platform.
Every redemption feeds directly into the burn mechanism. When tokens are redeemed for ad credit, they are removed from circulation and sent to a burn address on Base. The transaction is recorded permanently on-chain and is publicly verifiable.
You can verify this burn on BaseScan:
Transaction: 0xb88d3bdb62f1eb9df2660959a813881b9f0bef686dbd6595d61dd1c79e8b3497
This is what a deflationary token model looks like in practice. Every time the platform generates real activity, a publisher earns ADBYTES, an advertiser funds a campaign, a user redeems their balance, the total supply shrinks. The tokens are not locked, not sitting in a treasury, not bridged somewhere. They are gone. As platform activity grows, so does the deflationary pressure on supply.
We will continue reporting each burn publicly as part of our ongoing commitment to on-chain transparency.
What Is Coming Next
With the directory live, our near-term focus is on growing the platform: more users, more publishers, more advertisers, and more activity across all three systems, banner advertising, paid-to-click, and directory listings.
We also have updates coming to ADBYTES token economics that we will share soon. These changes are designed to make holding and using ADBYTES more rewarding as the platform scales. More details in an upcoming post.
If you are not already part of the Adbytes ecosystem, now is a good time to create an account, explore the directory, and see what the platform has to offer, whether you are here to advertise, monetize your traffic, or earn while engaging with the web3 space.
