Attribution sounds nerdy and technical, but it's the absolutely critical plumbing of a media ecosystem. Every form of human media going back to the printing press has had some form of advertising and attribution, and Web 3 won't succeed without the same.

A key part of attribution is identity. You need a stable identifier across platforms and through time to tie together the user funnel and make sense of it all.
Webs 2 and 3 will co-exist indefinitely, and right now there's no way to tie together the two internets.

Which is why v1.0 of Spindl will focus on joining the Web 2/3 divide in a privacy-safe way that lets Web 3 developers know where their users (and revenue) are coming from, via a simple one-line front-end integration and normie Web 2-style click-tracking.

Note: when we say 'ads' (ick!) we don't necessarily mean skeuomorphic Web 2 popups. Web 3 will enable all sorts of media models, ones that push value to creators and enable direct conversations with fans and users.
In fact, we already have Web 3 ads: they're called 'drops.' :)

An on-chain user-acquisition stack is coming to Web 3, and it'll be transparent, trustless, and composable in all the ways Web 2 ads are not.
Attribution is a key part of that. Web 3 shouldn't speedrun two decades of janky ads technology: it should build the right thing first.

We're actively looking for our first wave of early-access users. If you're in Web 3 and care about user growth, retention, and attribution, let's talk. DMs open.
