Peppy — February 2026
Bold. Historical. Inevitable.
| Year | What Became Measurable | Who Did It | What It Built |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1998 | A click (online) | GoTo.com → Google | $1.7T company |
| 2004 | A view (social) | $1.6T company | |
| 2006 | A stream (video) | YouTube/Google | 2.5B users |
| 2026 | A presence (physical) | Peppy | ? |
Every time a new human action became measurable, someone built a trillion-dollar company on the metric.
$42 billion in out-of-home advertising. Zero proof anyone saw anything. The billboard industry in 2026 is where banner ads were in 1997 — before the click.
Google invented CPC. We invented CPP. CPC = 'Someone clicked your ad.' CPP = 'Someone was physically present in front of your screen.'
One built the internet economy. The other builds the physical-world economy.
BLE Beacon on screen → detects phone within viewing distance GPS cross-reference → confirms physical location Double verification → presence recorded on-chain Advertiser charged → revenue split (operator 50%, user 30%, protocol 20%)
100% passive for the user. No surveys. No tasks. Just live your life.
Not a deck. Not a wireframe. A system.
Before CPC: online advertising was ~$2B (1998). After CPC: online advertising is ~$700B (2025). 350x growth once the channel became measurable.
OOH today: $42B — unmeasured. OOH with CPP: $100B+? $200B+? Measurement doesn't just capture existing spend. It unlocks new spend.
| Metric | CPC (Google) | CPP (Peppy) |
|---|---|---|
| Unit | One click | One verified presence |
| Payment | Advertiser → Google → Publisher | Advertiser → Protocol → Operator + User |
| Settlement | Google Ads platform | PeppyCoin on zkSync |
| User gets | Nothing | 30% of ad revenue |
Billboard Gems = fractional ownership of physical screens. Earn tokens → buy gem → screen generates ad revenue → tokens flow back.
| Layer | What | Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| 1. CPP Protocol | Measure physical presence | 20% protocol fee |
| 2. Token + RWA | Own the infrastructure | Token economics |
| 3. Identity | Self-sovereign profile | Premium data licensing |
| 4. Agent Economy | AI transacts for you | Protocol fees on agent txns |
Same team slide from current deck — enterprise engineers + Web3 production experience.
We're assembling advisors who see the pattern. CPC → $1.7T was obvious in hindsight. CPP → ? is obvious right now.
Don't look for free.
