Peppy Protocol — February 2026
Manifesto. Visionary. Poetic.
The first advertisement was carved in Egypt, around 3000 BCE. Five thousand years later, the deal hasn't changed: someone captures your attention, someone else profits, you get nothing.
Stone → papyrus → print → radio → TV → internet → algorithm. The extraction didn't.
| Age | Era | What They Took | How |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broadcast | 1920s–1990s | Your time | Interrupt and repeat |
| Digital | 2000s–2010s | Your data | Surveillance capitalism |
| AI | 2020s– | Your prediction | Algorithms predict you |
Average attention span: 47 seconds (down from 2.5 minutes in 2004).
Attention is scarcer. Demand is increasing. Price should go up for the supplier. But the supplier — you — has no seat at the table.
Cost Per Presence (CPP)
[Person] ←→ [BLE Beacon on Screen] ←→ [Peppy Protocol] ←→ [Advertiser] ↑ ↓ └────────────── 30% of revenue ──────────────┘
Passive. Verified. Settled. Walk past screen. Earn.
This is real. Earnings credited in real-time.
$42B of OOH advertising has no attribution. When CPC made clicks measurable, digital advertising grew from $2B to $700B.
CPP doesn't just measure the existing $42B. It creates a new category — physical-world performance marketing — that could be multiples larger.
PeppyCoin — the protocol's native currency
Today: Platform owns your profile → sells it → you get $0. Tomorrow: You own your profile → your agent sells access → you set the price.
Same team slide — enterprise engineers + protocol builders.
Attention → Measurement → Ownership (for you)
The age of extraction is over. The age of ownership begins.
Don't look for free.
