Frequently Asked Questions

OpenAds is an ad network for the open web. Advertisers fund campaigns, and builders earn when real users view, click, or complete sponsored ads.

OpenAds is for advertisers, website owners, creators, communities, and anyone who wants to earn from View Ads.

Advertisers create and fund campaigns. Website owners can show ads, creators can share campaign links, and users can complete Earn visits. OpenAds verifies the activity and credits earnings.

OpenAds uses USDC on Base and Arc. Campaign budgets, ad spend, earnings, and payouts are denominated in USDC.

Both networks use USDC. Advertisers choose one network when paying, and that campaign's budget and earnings remain on the selected network.

No. OpenAds uses a crypto wallet for payments and earnings. OpenAds never asks for your seed phrase or private key.

You can earn in three ways: Website Ads, Share Ads, and View Ads.

Website Ads let you earn by showing sponsored campaigns on your website. Once your website is connected, eligible ads can appear automatically in the placements you choose.

Share Ads let you earn by sharing ad campaigns with your audience. You get a tracked link and share-ready content, then earn when people click and visit the advertiser's landing page.

View Ads are mission-style campaigns. You choose an ad, view it, visit the advertiser's landing page, and earn after completing the required visit.

All earnings appear in My Earnings. You can see how much came from Website Ads, Share Ads, and View Ads.

Add your website, choose one or more placements, and paste the OpenAds embed into your site. Once OpenAds confirms the connection, eligible ads begin serving automatically when a matching funded campaign is live.

You can choose a top or bottom banner, a centered rectangle, or a corner icon to fit your site layout.

You earn from verified, billable ad views on your website.

Yes. You choose the ad placements that fit your website. You can use one placement or multiple placements.

More real traffic, visible placements, and relevant campaign matches usually lead to better earnings.

Open Share Ads, choose a live campaign, click Share to Earn, then copy the image, text, and tracked link.

You can share on X, Telegram, Discord, Farcaster, newsletters, blogs, group chats, or any place where your audience already spends time.

You earn from qualified share clicks—verified visits made through your tracked campaign link.

Yes. OpenAds gives you a starting image, message, and link. You can adjust the message so it feels natural for your audience.

A good share is relevant, clear, and personal. Thoughtful posts usually perform better than generic copy-paste posts.

Each campaign has a funded ad budget. The budget display helps you see whether a campaign is live and still available to earn from.

Your dashboard tracks qualified share clicks and earnings from each shared campaign.

Choose an available ad, view it, visit the advertiser's landing page, and return to OpenAds to complete the visit and earn.

Anyone with a connected wallet can participate, as long as there are available ads and they meet the participation rules.

View Ads earnings appear in My Earnings and Claim History.

Advertisers create campaigns, upload creative, set a destination URL, choose where the campaign should run, and fund the budget with USDC.

Advertisers can run campaigns across Website Ads, Share Ads, and View Ads.

Website Ads are based on qualified ad impressions.

Share Ads are based on qualified share clicks from shared campaign links.

Earn Ads are based on completed Earn visits.

Yes. Advertisers set the campaign budget upfront and can monitor how much has been spent.

No. A funded campaign remains on the network selected during payment.

OpenAds automatically stops new paid activity when the remaining budget cannot cover the next impression, click, or completed Earn visit. Funds already reserved for an active View Ads session remain available for that session.

Yes. Advertisers can see budget, spend, web ad views, website clicks, qualified share clicks, completed earn visits, and campaign status.

You earn USDC.

Go to My Earnings and click Claim Earnings when your balance is ready.

Base and Arc are separate networks, so each balance is claimed in a separate transaction. My Earnings still shows your combined total.

Base uses ETH for network fees. Arc uses USDC for network fees.

Available is your confirmed balance that has not been withdrawn.

Total Earned is your confirmed lifetime earnings on OpenAds.

Withdrawn is the amount already paid to your wallet.

Never. OpenAds only requests wallet connections and clearly described transaction approvals. Never enter your seed phrase or private key.

Official websites: openads.world, www.openads.world, and api.openads.world.

Security contact: send a direct message to @openadsworld on X. OpenAds will never ask for a seed phrase or private key in a support conversation.

Verified contracts: Base 0xCa22…9EDE and Arc 0x9eA7…d2Da.

Website installation: review the current embed security notes, readable v6 source, and installed v6 file. The published v6 SRI value is sha384-QLRQQIwfKBf3Mo3dbKZnsj2FMp/FNLnO+ajQItYnjVa09MzujpSXyMQiYYfY/1jM.

Qualified activity is verified activity that meets the campaign rules. Bots, self-clicks, spam, and repeated activity do not earn rewards.
