Every display surface on this station is advertising inventory.
AIRTIME is a browser-native, 24/7 linear television network. It runs on a real schedule with real commercial breaks, in a screening room built around one picture. The picture itself, the ticker under it, the panel either side, the lower third and the sponsor bug: each one is inventory that anyone can price, preview and buy. Payment settles on Robinhood Chain, and the station verifies it independently before a single frame airs.
How buying airtime works
- 01Pick a surface
Click any lit surface in the studio, or work from the board. Every surface is a row in a database with its own price clock.
- 02Preview your own creative
Upload an image or video and see it on that exact surface, in the room, before you pay. What you preview is what airs.
- 03Take it at the asking price
Each surface asks a price that walks down over time. Pay the number on screen from your own wallet and the surface is yours.
- 04Hold it until someone pays more
You keep the surface for a guaranteed minimum, then hold it until another buyer pays a strictly higher price to take it over.
What is for sale
Read live from the station, not written into this page. Each asking price walks down on its own clock until somebody takes it, then resets above what that buyer paid.
What the chain proves, and what it does not
A specific buyer paid a specific amount for a quote bound to a placement, a price and a hash of the exact creative. The browser never decides that something is paid: the server reads the payment event from its own node and re-checks every field against the quote it signed.
How many sessions had the station open, whether the creative loaded, whether the tab was visible, completions and clicks. These come from AIRTIME's own first-party analytics, are always shown separately from the payment, and are never dressed up as on-chain impressions.
No viewer counts are invented anywhere in this product. Unsold surfaces carry the station's own house graphics or example cards that are permanently badged EXAMPLE, excluded from the queue and excluded from revenue.
Where the money goes
What the network earns is used to buy Anduril pre-stock, which is then distributed to holders. Airtime revenue is derived from payments the station verified on chain and can never be typed in by hand. Token tax, pre-stock purchases and distributions happen off this chain through a broker, so they are recorded by the operator and always labelled as recorded figures rather than proven ones.
Open the treasury- Images and MP4 video only. There is no code path that renders advertiser HTML, JavaScript or iframes.
- Uploads are typed from their magic bytes, decoded, re-encoded and re-hashed on the server.
- The creative that airs is the one whose hash was signed into the quote and emitted on chain.
- Some placements require a moderator to approve the creative before it can be quoted.
Advertising should be something you can buy from your seat.
Television built the largest advertising business in history on a simple idea: a channel has a finite amount of time and space, and anyone can buy a piece of it. Somewhere along the way that stopped being true. Buying a spot now means a rate card, a sales call, an agency, an insertion order, and a minimum spend that rules out almost everybody.
AIRTIME puts the whole thing back in the open. The station runs around the clock in a browser. Every surface in it, starting with the picture itself, is inventory with a price on the screen. You can see what a surface costs, see your own creative on it before you commit, take it with a wallet, and watch it go up. No sales call, no minimum, no gatekeeper.
The price is not negotiated behind a door either. Each surface runs its own clock that walks the price down until somebody thinks it is worth taking, and taking it from the current holder always costs more than they paid. That is the entire rate card, and anyone can reproduce it from the numbers on the placement.
The last part is what the network does with the money. Every fee it collects goes toward Anduril pre-stock, which is distributed to holders. Revenue is derived from payments verified on chain and cannot be typed in by hand, and every figure that is recorded by an operator instead of proven by the chain is labelled that way.
