Summary

Centralized ad networks control:

  • Who can advertise
  • What can be advertised and how
  • Who can publish ads
  • Which ads are displayed on each page
  • How prices are set and revenue shared

Authors speculate that a decentralized mechanism could offer freedom on all of these axes and approach efficiency of centralized networks.
