PHẦN 1
Chris G x Richie
Chris G: I am a serial entrepreneur, specializing in the ad tech and video tech space and been in Blockchain since 2016. Verasity is a platform used by publishers and creators to reward users in crypto for watching their videos which we have been building for the past 2 years.
Verasity was one of the early projects to join the Binance Chain and list on the DEX back in May. And today we have the highest daily volume on DEX with 7260 BNB traded in the past 24 hours which we are very proud about.
Richie: First question, should be easy
Q1) So please tell us more about how Verasity works, Sir.
Chris G: Sure, Verasity has developed Verawallet, the first crypto wallet that lives within the video player and rewards viewers crypto based on their attention and engagement all across the web.
Publishers and creators want more views. Views equals revenue. With adopting Verasity’s solution, their users are now rewarded to spend more time on their sites and watch more videos.
Users lookout for the trophy icon on the top right-hand side of the player of a participating website. It lights up once a user has watched 80% of the video. A user clicks this and creates a wallet and claims tokens.
We are live today and the platform is working really well. You can watch crypto videos on many sites including cryptonews.com
Perfect. Anyone wants to earn some $VRAB can do here https://cryptonews.com/videos/when-will-facebook-s-libra-launch-384.htm
Q2) What problem is Verasity solving?
Well, Google and Facebook made $172B in ad revenues alone in 2018.
But we believe users deserve a return in some of the value they generate for their attention and data. Our solution brings engagement, audiences, and revenues back to video publisher sites from YouTube or Facebook.
Verasity can bring crypto to the masses, change the playing field and reward users for their valuable time, data and attention. This generates a thriving token economy among viewers, publishers, and advertisers.
Q3) What traction have you seen since launching?
Since launching we have on-boarded numerous mid-size publishers who are successfully using the Verasity platform. The beauty is its very easy for our partners to use and does not change their work flow.
The most important signs are its performance. We have seen the solution works well and delivers a positive ROI for publishers. One case study with eBonus.gg, their CEO reported an 18% increase in views and a 35% increase in total watch time, which significantly increased their revenues.
This is a testimonial quote from their CEO “And these % values have persisted! Really impressive gains in an industry where even a few % points make all the difference in profitability. Thank you Verasity!”
As for metrics – Here are the platform growth numbers:?
We are next working on increasing the utility of the VRA token which will entice more mainstream publishers to the platform who today are holding back due to the complexity of crypto in general.
we have an awesome staking program which is proving very popular with our community, rewarding 0.1% a day or 36.5% a year. Only problem is its hard to get a place in the program as its aften over subscribed.
Q4) What integrations and platforms does Verasity work across? Do you have any example sites or products where we can see technology working?
Verasity has built a full-stack online video platform built for web 3.0. We have written over 1 million lines of code and a patent pending for our technology. Verasity technology is now integrated into the following video players on publishers’ sites: YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, JWPlayer, Brightcove, Kaltura, VideoJS, Flowplayer, and Ooyala.
So just think of it as 95% of every video player on the internet. In numbers this means its available to over 1.6m publishers with 550m users and more than 110 billion monthly views. We want to make it as seamless to use as possible and get crypto rewards to the masses.
Verasity’s SDK also works across desktop and mobile, with Android and iOS apps using the technology. You can also explore a number of our participating publishers at verawallet.io.earn-vra. Final point – but relevant to crypto exchanges (such as Binance)…..
We have built a library of the top 400 crypto project explainer videos and offer a bespoke player to integrate directly into the trading page. Now a user can watch the video to learn about a crypto asset and earn VRA while then trading that asset. Coinsuper is an early partner and results are showing higher engagement, traffic, and trade volumes by adding a video. More exchange partners will be announced.
Q5) How do the Tokenomics work?
Publishers and advertisers create an account and purchase VRAB. They set up how much they want to reward users for their videos and set the campaign live. Users earn micropayments of $VRAB for their attention.
The additional revenues the publishers and advertisers are now making from increased sales is used to finance the purchase of VRAB. This is from the budget they currently use to acquire new users or advertise in other environments.
From the revenues Verasity generates from programmatic advertising, a percentage is used to buy back tokens from the market every quarter through our buyback program. Sililar to the Binance burns

PHẦN 3: MỘT SỐ CÂU HỎI HAY ĐƯỢC LỰA CHỌN
Q1)
Does Verasity use a smart contract to ensure transparency of payment for Publishers and Viewers? Is that the core difference between standard platforms like youtube or vimeo?
Do you plan to use Machine learning/AI in your product suite which will help publishers gather insights , and users get better recommendations?
Can a business/organzation/government have a private set of video tutorials related to its internal business processes which can be viewed by employees or citizens, and be rewarded with VRAB?
Trả lời: We are developing Proof of View (PoV) to make transparency and accountability in views. #nomorefakeviews
Q2) What are your main advantages compared to your competitors?
Do you have any partnerships with other projects to focus in the near future?
Trả lời:
Basic Attention Token is a peer, but also could be a partner. The only similarity is that BAT provides rewards, but at the browser interface. In their case all publishers are on one vanilla browser interface with no control over their monetization or workflow. Verasity provides publishers with an SDK which seamlessly integrates into their current online video platform and allows publishers complete control over their rewarded campaigns and monetization. Furthermore, viewers do not have to install a new browser, change their habits or preferences to be a part of the Verasity ecosystem. In our view, the Verasity solution scales without significant hurdles.
Q3) Are there some major partnership in the works? What are the advantages of decentralized workflow systems opposed to centralized?
Yes some major partnerships in the works but you have to watch this space ?
