Inspiration
The annual growth rate of the Influencer Market is 35%, with an estimated value of $85 billion by 2028. 80% of Web 3.0 companies use ad campaigns with Influencers as the main channel for promotion. Most blockchain projects put 10 to 20% of their tokens on marketing. Thus, for the development of the blockchain industry, it will be important to create a platform for advertising through influencers with the ability to pay with native tokens.
Problem
Launching an advertising campaign with influencers is a routine (up to 3 months) process with many opposite problems for both sides
- Only 10% of influencers respond to ad orders. From the influencer's side - they receive many requests without a clear offer and aren't motivated to respond quickly and make ads on time
- Advertisers have a high risk of losing money and not getting high-quality advertising, but Influencers don't trust brands and ask for 100% prepayment
- Companies needs statistic and history about previous ads campaigns and quality influencers need a transparent portfolio
Solution
We want to disrupt influencer marketing and create a Web3 platform with benefits for influencers and advertisers
- The launch of the advertising campaign is reduced to planned dates
- The dual-token reputation model to motivate influencers to respond quickly and do the work on time
- Payment via smart contract - guarantee receiving money when the ad is posted
During the Metabuild Hackathon we add the feature of payment for ads not only in stablecoins, but in native tokens of Web3 projects. And we have already added support NEAR and AURORA tokens. The native Token payment allows to Web3 companies transparent spend their token allocation on influencer marketing via B4B Protocol.
How it works?
- Influencers create their accounts and verified their Twitter channel. They receive NFT ID on their verified channel. They share the link on their booking page for advertisers with full portfolios.
- Advertisers buy subscriptions to get a database of influencers and filters or book the influencers on direct links from influencers for free.
- Advertiser prepares ad content (post and image), book the date, and pay in verified native Token (AURORA, NEAR...) or USDC via smart contract.
- Influencers accept the Ad campaign ASAP to achieve a higher B4B Rating. On the planned Ad date he has scheduled to publish the Ad content on the Twitter channel and share the link with advertisers to receive payment in verified native Token (AURORA, NEAR...) or USDC and grow B4B Rating.
- Brand accepts the Ad due to 24 hours and unlocks the payment for the influencer or makes a dispute with B4B.
- Influencers receive verified native Token (AURORA, NEAR...) or USDC payments for Ads, grow their B4B Rating on the platform, and earn B4B Coins monthly, based on their Rating.
- Influencers can hold the B4B Coins as investors or burn it in any time to receive USDC from Reward Pool.
Motivating algorithm for influencers
B4B.WORLD has a dual-token reputation system to motivate influencers’ activity and long-term work. The first token — B4B Rating — is a non-transferable reputation meter. The second token — B4B Coins — is a transferable monthly reward for influencer activity. B4B Coins reward is proportional to the B4B Rating increase this month.
B4B Protocol generates a fixed amount of B4B Coins monthly and fills the B4B Reward Pool with liquidity from ads fees on the platform. As a result, any holder can burn his B4B Coins and get stablecoins from the liquidity pool anytime. The exchange rate equals the ratio of B4B Reward Pool to the B4B Coin circulation and is constant within a month.
How we built it
We started to design the B4B WORLD platform in August on Aurora blockchain.
We made Testnet Release in October and already have 1700+ Ambassadors and crypto enthusiasts to test it. https://testnet-brand.b4b.app
We plan to complete the Testnet program during November and make the release of our platform on AURORA mainnet.
During the Metabuild Hackathon we add the feature of payment for ads not only in stablecoins, but in native tokens of Web3 projects on Aurora. And we have already added support NEAR and AURORA tokens. We believe that our platform can help blockchain-ecosystem products easier collaborate with influencers and attract more users for the growing ecosystem. The native Token payment allows web3 companies to transparently spend their token allocation on influencer marketing via B4B Protocol. And some influencers will think about save the Tokens or exchange them.
