# Alkimi

> The future of media buying is already here

Alkimi is a decentralized programmatic advertising marketplace that connects advertisers and publishers through blockchain-based, transparent ad transactions.

Alkimi provides advertisers and publishers with a decentralized ad exchange built on blockchain infrastructure, replacing centralized programmatic platforms. Users can buy and sell ad inventory with end-to-end on-chain auditability, AI-agent-driven optimization, and verifiable delivery data. The platform uses shared settlement state and smart contracts to reduce discrepancies between buyers and sellers at scale.

## Products

- [Alkimi Marketplace](https://thegrid.id/profiles/alkimi-org): Alkimi Marketplace is a programmatic advertising exchange that auctions ad inventory between media buyers and publishers through an on-chain settlement layer. The platform uses trusted execution environments for impression validation and the Sui blockchain as a shared verification layer, producing verifiable delivery records. AI buyer and seller agents negotiate deals through Deal Sheets, shared, mutually-signed settlement records that both parties reference throughout delivery and reconciliation. (E-Commerce, Live, Main Product)

## Assets

- [Alkimi Token (ALKIMI)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/alkimi-org): ALKIMI is the utility token of the Alkimi on-chain advertising platform. It is used for staking to earn a share of protocol fee revenue generated by advertising transactions on the platform. Token holders receive real yield from advertising fees rather than inflationary emissions, funded by systematic buybacks from protocol revenue. (Utility)
