UBEX ICO rating

Business (19 out of 20 points)
Ubex project – a global, decentralized exchange of programmatic advertising based on neural networks and smart contracts. The mission of Ubex is to create a global advertising ecosystem with a high level of mutual trust and maximum efficiency.
Advertisers can automatically purchase ad slots using the Ubex system. Payment is made upon fulfillment of targeted actions by users. Procurement of advertising takes place in real time using programmatic technology on the basis of neural networks with the application of smart contracts.
With the help of Ubex, advertisers will reduce the average cost of attracting customers by 50%.
Advantages of Ubex in comparison with other advertising exchanges:
What kind of problems can UBEX solve?
For Advertisers
Problem: Presence of brokers (effect on customer acquisition cost nearly 30%)
UBEX solution: Ubex offers a solution in the form of smart contracts on blockchain. Thanks to the Ubex purchasing system, the process of acquiring advertising slots and selecting the most effective websites for placement is simplified to the maximum and transaction risks are thereby reduced to a minimum. Once the payment is made, the advertiser can automatically purchase advertising according to the specified requirements set for the target audience, geography, time of displays and many other parameters. In addition, advertisers with high ratings have an option to defer payments. Thus, with the help of Ubex, it is possible to purchase advertising directly without any brokers, which significantly increases the economic efficiency of cooperation.
Problem: Pay per click (risk of fraud, effect on customer acquisition cost nearly 30%)
UBEX solution: With the help of smart contracts on blockchain, Ubex allows for the transition to the COST PER ACTION model of payment, eliminating fraud and the need for clicks. At the same time, Ubex solves the problem arising from the transition to the COST PER ACTION model of payment from other websites, as Ubex tracks all user actions on publishers’ sites (as well as on the advertiser’s site in case the user moves to it) and saves all data on the blockchain. Based on the results of actual actions, which the publisher can easily verify in the blockchain, payment is made for targeted actions only.
Problem: Inefficient targeting (effect on customer acquisition cost nearly 20%)
UBEX solution: Using neural networks and accumulated data, the Ubex algorithm selects the most current advertising offers relevant for certain visitors, maximizing the probability of obtaining the desired results. Moreover, the Ubex neural network evaluates the probability of targeted user actions. By applying such an approach, the Ubex algorithm estimates the economic efficiency of displaying various advertising options to each particular user. Thanks to the use of neural networks, the relevance of advertising displays is increased, along with predictability of advertising efficiency and the need to burn through budgets on trial and error approaches is reduced.
For Publishers
Problem: Imperfections of the targeting algorithms (low number of targeted actions)
UBEX solution: The Ubex neural networks solution increases the targeting of advertising, thereby maximizing the likelihood of target actions being performed by the audience of interest to the advertiser. Thus, the revenue for the publishers’ most effective advertising slots is maximized.
Problem: Low efficiency of purchasing algorithms (suboptimal loads of advertising slots)
UBEX solution: Smart algorithms based on neural networks on the Ubex platform are able to optimally distribute thousands of ads from advertisers online. The Ubex algorithm maximizes revenues of publishers with the most effective ad slots on account of their maximum load capacity.
Problem: Lack of transparency on the part of advertisers (shaving risks, non-payment for services or delays in payments for advertising by advertisers)
UBEX solution:
Problem: Underdevelopment of monetization systems for advertising slots (lack of alternative sources of income)
UBEX solution:Ubex offers publishers the opportunity to tokenize their advertising slots. By utilizing all the statistics of users and advertising platforms available inside the exchange, Ubex algorithms provide forecasts of potential publisher earnings and give an opportunity of forecasting future earnings provided the necessary rating is available. Thus, through tokenization, publishers can improve their financial performance.
Problem: Inefficient targeting (irrelevant ad displays, low relevance)
UBEX solution:Thanks to the use of algorithms based on neural networks, Ubex offers users the most relevant advertising options. The profits for all parties involved are maximized through this approach. Thanks to the placement of advertising on their websites through the Ubex exchange, publishers reduce the outflow of users who are annoyed by advertising that does not match their interests. In turn, the retention of user traffic allows publishers to increase their profitability.

Token applying (5 out of 5 points)
The UBEX token will act as a payment unit on the Ubex platform. The need for a token is based on the need to credit funds from advertisers’ accounts for the displays of advertising materials that they have bought. Basic cryptocurrencies do not allow crediting of funds from third party accounts even if one has permission from the third parties. The token allows for setting quotas (allowance) to a specific address within which the owner of the address can use the funds available on the account. Crediting is possible only on condition that the account holder has established the size of the quota and only from the address to which the quota is issued, otherwise the funds cannot be credited.
The Ubex platform will enable owners of websites providing statistical data for training of the system core to receive UBEX Tokens as a reward for their actions (analogous to mining). 5% of the income from all Ubex transactions will be distributed to the data providers. Using a proprietary token allows writing a smart contract that allows such actions. The use of cryptocurrency directly does not provide such opportunities.
Every quarter, we will use 20% of our proceeds from transaction commissions to buy back UBEX Tokens and destroy them, until 50% of all UBEX Tokens are taken out of circulation. This approach creates a scarcity of token supply.
