How Banner Line works
One global line of 468x60 spots. Plain rules, all on-chain, nothing held by the site.
What a spot buys
A spot costs $5 in POL at the Chainlink POL/USD price. It buys two things: 300 guaranteed views on the board for your image and link (delivered within 30 days, newest spots on top), and a place in the line.
Where the $5 goes, in the same transaction
| Share | To |
|---|---|
| 30% ($1.50) | the buyer's sponsor (no sponsor: the momentum fund) |
| 55% ($0.275 x 10) | the owners of the 10 spots bought just before this one |
| 10% | the company |
| 5% | the momentum fund, which can only buy spots |
The contract holds nothing except the momentum fund. The splits cannot be changed and there is no owner withdraw.
What is not promised
Nothing is promised. You are paid only when spots sell after yours. The line pays each spot at most 10 times ($2.75), so a member who refers nobody always gets back less than $5. This is advertising with a share of later sales, not an investment.
The momentum fund
When no spot has sold for 4 hours, the fund buys one (at most 12 a day). It gifts the spot to an active member who owns a paid spot and has not had a gift in 7 days, members who referred someone recently first. If nobody qualifies, the fund keeps the spot and its line money goes back into the fund.
The rest of the network
Open board slots show network sites such as InstantAdPay and LinkSpin. On InstantAdPay, ad credits buy advertising, not income.
