Hello, fellow Steemit users and Blockchain Community!

In case you were wondering, the guy making the silly face in the photo above is Miguel Morales, our CTO and Co-Founder, and yes, we dig his glasses too. :)

At this point, you might be wondering...

What is Lucidity?

We created Lucidity in response to some very real endemic problems in the online Marketing industry. As the largest ad industry in the world, which will see some $120 billion dollars in spending by 2021, there is a startling amount of unnecessary complexity and opacity between marketers, publishers, and consumers.

If you're spending money on digital marketing, its important to be sure you are getting your money's worth, which means the data you receive shows you're reaching your consumers and getting traffic from your ads.

This is where the problems begin.

Data gets trapped in black-box services (data goes in, reports come out) and there is no proof-of-work happening-- marketers simply have to trust that reports are accurate. And when you're working with programmatic ad buying, your data flowchart begins to look impossibly convoluted:

Incomplete and inaccurate data are now commonplace in the online marketing world, and the problems are only getting worse. Skyrocketing rates of fraud have caused many to call the industry a ticking time bomb.

Why We Care

Online advertising fraud is costing over $16.4 billion dollars globally, major brands are pulling millions of dollars from online marketing, and even Google is refunding customers for fake traffic. Something must be done before the internet becomes a classist oligarchy where all information is hidden behind paywalls and subscriptions.

Enter Lucidity

Lucidity is a blockchain protocol that provides transparency and authenticity for digital advertising analytics. Blockchain technology’s specific blend of decentralization, identity, immutability, and consensus is perfectly suited to guide digital advertising to a more transparent and profitable future. We streamline, simplify, and seamlessly integrate with existing protocols to create a trustworthy and crystal-clear atmosphere for marketers and publishers alike.

We are passionate about keeping the internet and all its resources open-source and accessible to all, as the democratic system of sharing information it was intended to be.

You'll be seeing posts from us about Blockchain, Layer 2 technology, online marketing, and updates with Lucidity Tech!

We're on a mission to give the online ad world a blockchain makeover. Who's with us?

Hello lucidity.tech! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
