We've been shipping hard on the publisher side of Adbytes, and there's a lot worth knowing about — especially if you run sites on the network.
Here's what's new.
Redesigned Publisher Dashboard
Managing websites and ad spaces should feel clean, not clunky. We redesigned and improved the publisher dashboard so it's easier to keep tabs on your sites, ad spaces, and performance in one place.
If you've been in the dashboard lately, you'll notice it already. If not, log in and poke around — it's a meaningful upgrade to the day-to-day experience.
Reactivate Archived Sites Yourself
Used to be: if a site got archived for lack of traffic, you had to open a support ticket to bring it back.
Not anymore.
If your website was archived due to inactivity, you can reactivate it yourself from the dashboard. No ticket, no waiting around. Get traffic flowing again and you're back in the game.
Publisher Loyalty Bonuses
This is the big one for long-term partners.
We launched a new Publisher Loyalty Bonuses system to reward publishers who stick with us and keep delivering traffic over time. It runs per publisher site, and it's designed to be simple:
- Deliver traffic (ad clicks) to our units on your site for 10 days in a row → claim a 10,000 ADBYTES welcome bonus
- After that, every 90 days of continued traffic delivery → claim a 5,000 ADBYTES quarterly bonus
- Every 4th quarterly cycle is an anniversary bonus of 10,000 ADBYTES instead
- This repeats for as long as you stay active on the platform
A few important details:
- No traffic minimums beyond at least 1 ad click on active days
- Applies to everyone starting now
- Previously archived sites that you reactivate are eligible too
- Each claimed reward bumps your loyalty level by one
- Bonus amounts may change in the future as we tune the program
It's a real incentive for new publishers coming in and for existing ones who've been grinding with us. Show up consistently, get paid for it.
More Consistent Daily Publisher Rewards
The daily publisher rewards calculation (the one that runs every 10 minutes) got a solid tweak and improvement.
Clicks and impressions are now scored and rewarded more reliably. All publishers should see more consistent rewards going forward — fewer weird gaps, cleaner attribution between what your site delivers and what you earn.
Ad Credit → Platform Credit
We renamed Ad Credit to Platform Credit.
Same balance you already know. Clearer name for what it actually is: a platform balance you can use across Adbytes in multiple ways, not just "ads." More ways to spend Platform Credit (and earn ADBYTES) are coming soon.
ADBYTES Token Snapshot
Quick status check on the token side:
- 33,141,767 ADBYTES claimed on-chain from platform rewards so far
- Max supply cap: 1,000,000,000
- 427 active on-chain holders
- Uniswap price at time of writing: $0.00009886 USDC
- Quarterly burn last month brings total burned via on-platform redemptions for credit to 1,495,341.71 ADBYTES
- True remaining max supply after burns: 998,504,658.29
- Staking continues to grow: 1,911,839.18 ADBYTES currently staked
Any amount converted into Platform Credit is permanently burned. We deliberately designed this system to last for many years with natural deflation built in. There's still plenty of supply available — that's by design.
If you've been sitting on earnings, staking is a solid way to earn additional yield instead of dumping into a thin market. And we've got more planned for the token: more platform utility, more ways to earn, more liquidity and markets over time.
Thanks for Sticking With Us
Adbytes has always been a bit of a grand experiment — web3 ads, real publisher payouts, on-chain claims, staking, PTC, and now loyalty. None of this works without the people who keep showing up.
Whether you're running banners, earning through PTC, staking, advertising, or all of the above: thank you. Stay tuned. More updates on the way.
