Watch Ads. Earn Cryptocurrency. It’s that easy. Permission.io is bringing advertising into the blockchain age.

For most of human history, ads have served a role not unlike a spider.

Avoided at all cost, their intrusions are usually uninvited. Still, they make our lives easier by devouring disease-ridden mosquitoes — or, for ads, funding our favorite media. But, what if, instead of serving and funding the monopolistic efforts of Google and Facebook, who trade on the personal and “behavioral” data of their billions of users, an app allowed you to monetize your own data in cryptocurrency?

Permission.io, formerly Algebraix, makes advertisers your customers, and vice versa.

At Permission.io, we’ve collected an ambitious team of advertising, blockchain, and engineering experts to flip the world of advertising upside down.

Permission.io is way bigger than a simple way to start earning some cryptocurrency, though. We fully expect it to help usher in a new movement for user control over personal data. After all, the web’s exploitative nature is unsustainable. We’re well aware of how tech companies mine our data to learn our political preferences, social circles, current location, using it all to send ads to us when we’re most susceptible.

With Permission.io, advertisers send offers directly to you. Your anonymized data is securely stored right on your phone, completely in your control, where it will be matched with businesses offers.

The Permission Marketplace creates a more personal and amenable relationship with advertisers. Members of Permission.io can expect to get offers that bring real value to their lives — and the mutual trust is sure to result in a brand new relationship dynamic.

Cryptocurrency’s bad reputation is unearned. While it’s sometimes used for nefarious purposes, each year it becomes more valuable and variable in use.

Still, even today it’s hard to get access. Many currency exchanges dealing in cryptocurrency re-quire multiple verification steps that alternately take weeks or minutes to pass.

Since ad consumption on Permission.io is compensated in crypto, the platform will help everyday people gain access to the increasingly popular alternative currency. Users are paid for each view or interaction of an ad, the proceeds of which are stored in a cryptocurrency wallet compatible right in the app.

It’s that simple.

The game-changing tech needed to transform advertising is finally available.

Advertisers’ past dependency on commercial and social media has made us the targets — not willing participants — in marketing. Technology is finally changing that.

Thanks to the security of blockchain we’re about to experience a more civilized, and more profitable, future. Permission.io is currently in beta — click here to apply to be a beta tester of this brand new technology. If you’re looking for more information, check out our white paper and join us on Telegram.
