Advertisers & agencies

Introduce your brand in an interactive moment.

The product

A new format for networks that already own verification.

CaptchAD is not trying to rebuild bot defense from scratch. We give verification providers a commercial layer they can distribute across their installed base.

01

Keep the trust engine

Your existing risk score, device signals, challenge policy, token validation, and anti-abuse systems stay in control.

02

Add sponsored formats

CaptchAD supplies approved static creative and simple interaction recipes that fit inside your existing widget boundary.

03

Share the upside

Advertisers buy verified attention. CaptchAD handles demand and measurement. Provider partners participate in the media revenue.

Partner architecture

Your security decision stays authoritative.

If CaptchAD is unavailable, blocked, has no eligible sponsor, or is disabled by the publisher, the provider simply renders its normal verification experience.

1 Provider requests format

Privacy-minimized placement context is sent to CaptchAD.

→
2 CaptchAD selects sponsor

Approved creative + challenge recipe are returned.

→
3 User interacts

A 1–3 second branded action creates an attention signal.

→
4 Provider verifies

The incumbent provider performs its normal security decision.

→
5 Revenue is recorded

Only provider-verified completions become billable attention.

01No advertiser JS

Creative is static and rendered inside the controlled verification surface.

02No DOM access

Advertisers never touch publisher forms, cookies, credentials, or page data.

03Neutral fallback

Ad delivery failure can never break login, signup, checkout, or access.

04Accessible path

Users can always choose a provider-only accessible verification route.

Network economics

Turn verification volume into media inventory.

Model what a provider network could generate from a sponsored format. These are editable planning assumptions, not a revenue promise.

Security + safety

The ad format must never weaken verification.

The MVP is designed around an explicit rule: a sponsored interaction is a media event and an optional behavioral signal—not a replacement for the provider’s security decision.

↯

Failure independent

Ad serving can fail open into a neutral provider challenge. Authentication never depends on sponsor availability.

◇

Sandboxed creative

Static reviewed assets only. No advertiser scripts, DOM access, browser storage, or page-level data collection.

◎

Privacy minimized

Contextual eligibility can work with publisher, coarse region, device class, category, and placement—not cross-site identity.

⌁

Accessible alternate

The sponsored visual format is never the only path. The underlying provider can offer its accessible method directly.

⟲

Replay protection

The planned production integration uses short-lived signed challenges and duplicate-event protection. This public preview is a browser simulation.

⊙

Fraud aware

Provider verification plus media-side IVT filtering protects both advertisers and network settlement.

Provider-native integration

Add a sponsor decision, not a second trust engine.

The ideal integration is server-to-server between CaptchAD and the verification provider, with a lightweight creative payload rendered inside the provider’s existing controlled UI.

  • One sponsor-decision request
  • One verified-attention completion event
  • Provider controls security, eligibility, and fallback
provider-integration.js
// 1. Your provider decides a visual verification is needed.
const sponsor = await captchad.decision({

})

// 2. Render sponsor inside your existing widget boundary.

// 3. Your normal verification remains authoritative.
const verified = await provider.verify(token)

  await captchad.recordVerifiedAttention(sponsor.id)

Questions & answers

Sponsored CAPTCHA, explained.

Does sponsored CAPTCHA replace my CAPTCHA provider?

No. Captcha.ad is designed as an advertising layer alongside an existing verification provider. The provider’s security decision remains authoritative. The public demo simulates verification and must not be used to protect a real login, form, or checkout.

How would publishers earn revenue?

The proposed model shares revenue from qualifying sponsored interactions across participating partners. Actual earnings would depend on available advertiser demand, eligible traffic, completion rates, pricing, and the agreed revenue share. The calculator shows assumptions, not guaranteed income.

What would an advertiser pay for?

The proposed billing model is based on qualifying, provider-verified sponsor interactions. Advertisers would set a campaign budget and submit creative for review. Final pricing and delivery terms are not available in this public preview, and the demo does not charge anyone.

What happens when there is no suitable ad?

The intended integration falls back to the existing provider’s normal verification experience when an ad is unavailable, blocked, or ineligible. Access to a website should not depend on advertiser demand.

How would Captcha.ad integrate with a website?

The planned integration connects Captcha.ad with the verification provider for sponsor selection and event reporting. Publishers would enable supported placements through that provider. The code sample on this page illustrates the architecture; it is not a released SDK.

Is the sponsored interaction accessible?

The design includes a provider-only alternative so people do not have to complete the visual ad interaction. Production accessibility must be verified with each provider integration. The demo’s slider also supports keyboard input.

Can I sign up or launch a campaign today?

Public registration and live campaigns are not open yet. This release lets providers, publishers, and advertisers explore the format and proposed economics. The advertiser app and payment integration are being prepared for a later release.
