Slise vs A-ADS: one Hong Kong address, $5,000 and an invoice against $100 and an access code, and what Slise’s own blog gets wrong about A-ADS

Slise vs A-ADS, read from both contracts, Trustpilot and Slise’s own blog on 11 November 2026: one Hong Kong room, $5,000 by invoice against $100 and a code.

Slise vs A-ADS: one Hong Kong address, $5,000 and an invoice against $100 and an access code, and what Slise’s own blog gets wrong about A-ADS

Slise and A-ADS are run from the same room. Slise’s terms give its correspondence address as Room 1404 of the Blissful Building on Des Voeux Road Central in Hong Kong; A-ADS’s advertiser terms give the same room for Alpha Communication Services Limited, A-ADS calls Slise “our other network” in a customer story on its homepage, and maads.com lists both under “Our own platforms”. That is the first thing to know, because the two networks are sold as opposites. Slise places a leaderboard inside the dApp where a wallet is already connected and sells it through a contact form, an agreement and an invoice against a $5,000 contract minimum. A-ADS runs a fourteen-year-old self-serve banner network over 1,996 publisher sites with a $100 deposit, an optional anonymous account and a daily-budget auction that it says averages $0.04 per thousand. Slise’s own blog tells readers that A-Ads has no minimum deposit; A-ADS’s FAQ and terms say otherwise. We read both sets of documents again on 11 November 2026, the contracts, the FAQs, the help articles, the public statistics page, the one Trustpilot profile that exists and the blog post, and set them side by side below. Our Slise review and A-ADS review hold the long versions; Slise against the other self-serve doors is in Slise vs Bitmedia and Slise vs Coinzilla.

Key points

  • Same owner, two doors: both contracts name Room 1404 of the Blissful Building in Hong Kong, A-ADS’s homepage describes a campaign that ran “on AADS as well as on our other network, Slise”, and maads.com presents Slise, AADS and Metabay as “Our own platforms”. Neither network’s pages say so in plain words about the other.
  • The door: A-ADS’s help centre says “The minimum deposit is 100 USD, or higher depending on the selected coin and network (e.g., 250 USD for USDT ERC20).”, the account can be opened with an access code and no email, and campaigns are moderated “within 1 hour”. Slise’s launch-offer FAQ says “Our minimum starting budget is $500.”, its terms say “minimum campaign budget: $5,000”, and the only way in is a contact form; app.slise.xyz answers “Not authorized”.
  • Unspent money: Slise’s clause 9 says “All payments by Advertisers are considered final and non-refundable.”, refundable only if Slise ends the service itself, and idle balances can be forfeited after six months. A-ADS says “Any refunds are at the entire discretion of AADS.”, deletes idle accounts with their balances after six months, and keeps any deposit below the minimum as fees.
  • Price: Slise sells CPM, “discounted CPM rates under $10” on the launch offer and “$6-7” in a case study. A-ADS sells by the day, “neither a pay-per-click (PPC) nor a pay-per-impression (CPM) advertising network”, prints an average of $0.04 on its advertise page and $0.05 on its about page, and its statistics page showed $0.51 per thousand for the crypto category on 11 November 2026.
  • Reviews: A-ADS scores 3.9 out of 5 from 186 Trustpilot reviews, 35 of them one-star, with six reviews in the last twelve months. Slise has no Trustpilot profile and no independent review we could find, and the same customer sentence is credited to one person on Slise’s site and to a different person on A-ADS’s.

The short answer

For most advertisers, A-ADS. It is the network you can open before lunch: a self-serve dashboard, a $100 deposit in any of twenty coins or by card through Changelly, no identity check unless you target one named site, manual moderation that the advertise page times at an hour, 1,996 publisher sites you can pick one by one, a public statistics page that updates daily and a contract with a named Hong Kong company. The trade is that the audience is a crypto website audience, not a connected wallet, and that the terms give A-ADS discretion over refunds and keep a fifth of every deposit as its fee. Slise is the better network for one job, reaching a user whose wallet is connected to the application the ad is in, and it sells that job the old way: a contact form, an agreement, an invoice, $500 on the FAQ and $5,000 in the terms, a publisher list on request and a human on the campaign. The two networks share an owner, an address and a customer quote, and the owner’s cheaper network grades the category its dearer network belongs to as slow, limited and low-trust on its own homepage. Our A-ADS review scores it 7/10 and our Slise review 5.5/10, and nothing we read on 11 November 2026 moves either.

What each network actually sells

Slise sells the inside of the dApp. Its launch-offer page describes “banner ads in our network of dApps that include advanced DeFi protocols, NFT analytics tools, blockchain explorers, and Web3 gaming platforms”, and the pitch is that the person seeing the ad has a wallet connected at that moment, which the page calls “extra premium traffic”. Targeting is built from that wallet: “wallet-specific Web3-personas, chains, and wallet activity” on the launch offer, lookalike audiences and a “targeted list of wallets” on the homepage, under the promise that “We use only public blockchain data and do not play with user privacy”. The homepage calls it the “Top 2% crypto-traffic you can find”. The inventory is the product and the inventory is not published; the FAQ says “Yes, we can share our publisher list upon request.” Two formats are listed, “728 x 90 – Leaderboard” and “270 x 90 – Mobile Banner”, static or animated, and the model is one: “Currently we operate on a CPM basis.” The mechanics of wallet-based buying are in our wallet-level targeting explainer.

A-ADS sells a share of a day. Its help centre is unusually direct about it: “At AADS, the default payment model is Cost Per Day (CPD).” and, a few lines later, “AADS is neither a pay-per-click (PPC) nor a pay-per-impression (CPM) advertising network.” You set a daily budget, the budgets compete for each ad unit, and the impressions follow the money; the advertise page’s FAQ explains that “Unlike CPM, you don’t pay a fixed price for every 1,000 impressions. The average resulting CPM across the network is just $0.04.” Targeting is by the whole network, by site category, “crypto, gambling, news, finance, etc.”, or by individual publisher sites picked from the catalogue, plus countries and languages. There are sixteen banner sizes from 120×60 to 970×250, the ads are HTML without JavaScript, and the FAQ states “We do not serve popunders or popups.” The about page counts 187M impressions a day, 1,996 publishers, 160 advertisers and “14 years on the market”. There is no wallet in any of it; the homepage’s own comparison table places “Web3 ad networks” in a separate column from AADS, and we come back to that table below. What A-ADS’s self-serve model looks like against the wallet-targeting platforms at the top of the price list is in our Blockchain-Ads vs A-ADS head-to-head.

One address, two contracts

Slise’s terms, effective 28 November 2025, are a public offer by Web3 Media Ventures Limited, incorporated in the Seychelles under number 239979 and registered at Victoria House in Mahe, with a correspondence address at Room 1404, 14/F, Blissful Building, 243–247 Des Voeux Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. A-ADS’s advertiser terms of service are signed off by Alpha Communication Services Limited at the same Room 1404, 14/F, Blissful Building, 243-247 Des Voeux Road Central, and its marketplace terms name the same company as the contracting party. Both contracts choose the same law and the same forum. Slise: “These Terms are governed by the laws of Hong Kong SAR.” and “All disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under HKIAC Rules.” A-ADS’s publisher terms, effective 3 April 2026: “These Terms are governed by the laws of Hong Kong SAR. Disputes shall be resolved via arbitration under the HKIAC rules.” Slise’s privacy policy, for what it is worth, names a third entity, “Slise Inc.”, that appears in neither contract.

The relationship is stated, just not where a buyer would look. A-ADS’s homepage carries a customer story for Chiliz in which “The client’s request was to increase brand awareness while also growing the number of real users”, and the solution reads: “Campaigns were launched on AADS as well as on our other network, Slise, balancing brand awareness with lead generation”. Slise’s homepage ends with a banner, “Meet maads — the Web3 marketing arm of our ecosystem”; A-ADS’s homepage carries the same partner banner. On maads.com the agency describes its stable under the line “Our own platforms put technology products in front of the right people with precision”: Slise as a crypto advertising network with targeting based on wallet addresses, wallet behaviour and token holdings, AADS as one of the largest crypto advertising networks operating since 2011 with a daily reach of 300M+, and Metabay as a marketplace for influencer and media placements. The same QuickNode case appears on maads.com and on Slise’s case-studies page, with the same 0.46% CTR. Neither Slise’s review page nor A-ADS’s terms mention the other network by name.

Two details on the sites deserve a plain description. A-ADS’s homepage has a comparison table under the heading of your options, with three rows: Web2 ad network, Web3 ad networks and AADS, graded on ad moderation, control, trust and cost. The Web3 ad networks row is graded Slow, Limited, Low and High; the AADS row is graded 5 minutes, Full, High and Flexible; the text beside it says “Web2 ad networks ban crypto and gaming ads, while Web3 ad networks require large budgets, offer limited control, and involve long moderation times.” Slise, the owner’s other network, is a Web3 ad network with a $5,000 contract minimum, no self-serve door and a campaign that starts when a human sends an invoice. The second detail is a customer quote. Slise’s homepage and case-studies page print “Results look great on all platforms! Thanks for working with us on this, really going to help us with our launch!” under the name Dennis Baca, Head of Product at Zivoe. A-ADS’s homepage prints the same sentence, word for word, under the name Elshan Dzhafarov, CEO of PLUSER; on Slise’s site Elshan Dzhafarov is credited with a different quote, “I was cautious to try Slise, but they exceeded my expectations”. Quinn Campbell’s line about onchain targeting appears on both sites under the same name. We do not know which attribution is right, and that is the point: a testimonial that moves between people is not evidence of anything.

Getting in: $5,000 and an invoice against $100 and an access code

Slise has no public sign-up for advertisers. The launch-offer FAQ describes the route: “reach out to us and tell us about your requirements. After that we’ll send you an agreement and an invoice”. The same FAQ says “Our minimum starting budget is $500.”; clause 4.2 of the terms says “Prepayment is required; minimum campaign budget: $5,000.” The FAQ also says “Yes, we have a self-serving dashboard”, but the dashboard at app.slise.xyz showed us only the words “Not authorized” on 11 November 2026, and the site has no /pricing, /advertisers, /publishers or /about page at the time of writing, each answering not found. Payment is by “bank transfers, major cryptocurrencies (USDT, USDC, ETH, BTC)”, and “Typically campaigns run for 1-4 weeks”. There is no identity check in the terms; the audit clause for publishers asks for “Google Analytics data, advertising spend records, or proof of legitimate traffic sources”, which is a traffic check, not a passport.

A-ADS’s door is the opposite in every particular. The help centre: “The minimum deposit is 100 USD, or higher depending on the selected coin and network (e.g., 250 USD for USDT ERC20).” Card payments go through Changelly, where the fiat article says “Don’t deposit less than 125 USD” so that the converted amount clears the floor. Accounts open with an email, with Google, Facebook, Telegram or X, or with what the help centre calls “Anonymous sign up”, an access code in place of any credential, with the warning “Without the access code, you won’t be able to access your account again.” You can even build the campaign first: “If you create a campaign or ad unit without an account, you will be prompted to create one during the setup process.” The advertise page promises “Ability to stay private with no KYC requirements” and “Quick manual campaign moderation within 1 hour”; the help centre’s what-makes-us-unique article narrows the first promise to “No KYC required unless you target specific websites like poocoin.app”, where Sumsub verification applies. The daily-budget article recommends “Minimum 200$ per day is recommended for all categories.” and “Minimum 300$ per day is recommended for premium websites.”, recommendations rather than floors, as our minimum-daily-budgets comparison found across the industry. Which networks ask for identity documents and when is in our KYC comparison.

One clause in A-ADS’s terms is worth reading before the first deposit: “Any deposit made below the minimum deposit value will be used to cover fees incurred by AADS and will not be credited to the advertisers account nor returned to the advertiser.” The most recent Trustpilot review of A-ADS, a four-star from September 2026, is from an advertiser whose below-minimum crypto deposit was credited by hand after a support request, and who asks the network to lower the floor. The clause says the network did not have to.

What the contracts do with money you do not spend

Slise’s clause 4.2 says “All payments are non-refundable unless agreed otherwise.” and clause 9 removes the “unless”: “All payments by Advertisers are considered final and non-refundable.”, then “Refunds may only be issued if the Platform initiates termination of services.” Clause 4.3 is the one route to money back, “Platform may terminate with 24 hours’ notice and refund unused balances.”, which is Slise’s decision, not yours; your own exit is “Advertisers may request account deletion with 14 days’ notice.” with nothing said about the balance. Pausing is slower than you would expect: “Campaigns may be paused upon request but remain active until confirmation.” And the balance has a clock: “Accounts inactive for 6 months may be deactivated and residual funds forfeited unless an extension is granted.” Clause 13 prices the company’s whole exposure: “Maximum liability of the Company is limited to five USD ($5.00).”

A-ADS’s refund clause is shorter and leaves more to the network: “Any refunds are at the entire discretion of AADS. No refunds are possible once funds have been paid to Publishers. Idle accounts, including the remaining balances, shall be automatically deleted after 6 months of inactivity. By using AADS you agree to waive any rights to claim these funds.” A banned advert may have its remaining funds refunded “after deduction of any costs incurred by AADS”, and you agree to waive any claim against the moderation decision. The fee clause explains why a refund is never the whole deposit: “Twenty percent of all monies paid for the advertising service, but not less than ten percent of the deposited funds, shall be retained by AADS as fees.”, plus a three percent conversion fee on deposits not made in bitcoin and a half-percent withdrawal fee that rises to one percent for ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens. A locked account costs “a 10% administrative fee” to recover, with the balance gone if the owner does not answer within six months; a suspected multi-account can lose everything or pay “a recovery fee of 50% or higher”. The limitation-of-liability clause has no figure at all: “AADS offers no guarantees and shall not be liable for any losses incurred or claimed to have been incurred by anyone using AADS”, through a list that ends with “any direct or consequential loss”. Slise caps its exposure at five dollars; A-ADS says it has none. How the other networks treat the same question is in our refund-policies comparison, and the clauses to look for in any of these contracts are in our terms red-flags guide.

Formats, targeting and the price per thousand

Slise prices in CPM and keeps the number soft. The launch offer says “we don’t take any service fee and currently offer discounted CPM rates under $10” against “the typical $30-40 that other Web3 platforms charge”, and “We operate on CPM basis, where the exact CPM depends on your campaign settings.” The case studies are the only printed figures: QuickNode at an “Average CTR — 0.46%” and $1.30 a click, COINSBEE at 0.58% and $1.15 with “Slise’s competitive CPM of $6-7”, Ledger versus Trezor with “50+ creatives tested”. The launch offer claims a “Click Through Rate (CTR) of 0.3-0.4%” against an “industry average of 0.1%”, and its top ten countries are the United States, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada, Germany, India, Russia, Italy and France. There is no CPA: the FAQ’s answer on performance pricing is “Currently we operate on a CPM basis.” Tracking is a pixel and UTM parameters.

A-ADS prints its averages and then publishes the data behind them. The advertise page says $0.04; the about page and ad-formats page say $0.05; the publisher help article explains that “AADS uses a dynamic pricing model based on real-time supply and demand — there are no fixed CPM or CPC rates.” The statistics page on 11 November 2026 listed, for the current day, 2,836 sites and 4,349 ad units across all traffic at $0.05 per thousand, and a crypto category of 220 sites and 404 ad units at $0.51; blogs were at $0.03, business and finance at $0.46, goods and services at $0.11 and community sites at $0.02. The thirty full days to 10 November summed to 6.22 billion ad loads, of which 204 million, 3.28%, were counted as globally unique, with 2.5 million clicks and 1.37 million unique clicks; advertisers spent 1.5072 BTC in those thirty days, about $111,000 at the morning’s bitcoin price, which works out by our arithmetic to under two cents of gross spend per thousand raw loads and about $0.55 per thousand unique ones. The audience was 12.8% United States, 6.2% India, 5.5% Thailand, 4.9% France; 52.5% English, 8.7% Spanish, 6.8% French; half of all impressions were the 300×250 size. Those are the numbers under the $0.04, and they are the reason a crypto campaign should expect the crypto category’s price, not the network’s. Where both networks sit against the rest of the market is in our CPM and CPC rates comparison.

The publisher side

Slise’s publisher clauses read like the agreement of a small managed network. Placements must “Maintain ad placements with at least 95% uptime.”; “Earnings are calculated monthly at the agreed CPM rate.” and “Payments are made in USDT (Ethereum ERC20), within 15 days after month-end.”, with “Minimum payout threshold applies; unpaid amounts roll over.” and no threshold printed. Sites must be on domains “registered for at least three (3) months prior to joining the Platform”, must not be “hosted on free domains or subdomains (e.g., Wix, Blogspot, Weebly)”, and must not be clones or mirrors of other sites. Referrers “earn 10% of net spend by Qualified Referrals for six (6) months.” A suspended publisher who wants back in pays “an administrative restoration fee equal to 10% of unpaid earnings or $1,000 USD, whichever is lower”, with appeals reviewed “within thirty (30) calendar days”.

A-ADS’s publisher terms, effective 3 April 2026, contain the same machinery in almost the same words: a three-month domain age, no free subdomains, a fraud-prevention section, a unique impression counted “once per IP address within a twenty-four (24) hour period”, a three-business-day wait after any change to payment details, and a restoration fee “equal to 10% of the unpaid earnings at the time of suspension, or $1,000 USD – whichever amount is lower”, with appeals reviewed within thirty calendar days. The difference is the money and the pace. A-ADS pays in bitcoin, daily: “The minimum withdrawal to a Bitcoin wallet is BTC 0.001”, with any sum over Lightning, and the earn page says “Payments are made automatically in Bitcoin (BTC) once your balance reaches the minimum withdrawal threshold.” The network keeps a fifth: the fees article says publishers receive 80% of what advertisers pay for their units, and the marketplace takes the same 20% on direct orders. There is “no strict minimum traffic requirement”, the earn page says it “takes less than a minute to become a publisher”, and publishers can block the Gambling, NSFW, Investments and Risky Projects categories in the unit settings. The earn page also claims that “The network’s publishers collectively earn over $130,000 per month.”, while the statistics page’s own counter on 11 November showed $111,685 for the last thirty days, which is the gross advertiser spend; the publishers’ 80% of it is about $89,000, or about $45 per active publisher per month, and the help centre’s guide for publishers warns that “Bot traffic or fraudulent behavior will disqualify you from earnings.” Our A-ADS for publishers guide walks through the estimator and the real yields; the wider choice is in our publisher ranking.

What Slise’s own blog says about A-ADS, checked against A-ADS’s pages

Slise’s blog post on alternatives to Coinzilla, by Oleksii Sidorov and dated 10 July 2023, mentions A-ADS once, in its FAQ: “Bitmedia and A-Ads are known for having no minimum deposit requirement, making them easier for smaller projects to test. However, remember that low cost often correlates with lower-quality traffic.” It is still the live text on 11 November 2026, and it is wrong about the sister company. A-ADS’s help centre puts the minimum at $100, or $250 for USDT on Ethereum, and $125 by card; its terms keep anything below the minimum as fees. We made the same point about Bitmedia’s $300 in our Slise vs Bitmedia head-to-head. The second half of the sentence is Slise’s view of the traffic it shares a landlord with, and A-ADS’s own statistics page gives it some support: 3.28% of ad loads counted as unique in the last thirty days, and a crypto category at $0.51 per thousand. The irony runs the other way too. A-ADS’s homepage grades “Web3 ad networks” as requiring large budgets, limited control and long moderation, and Slise is the one Web3 ad network it owns.

Trustpilot, read properly

A-ADS has a claimed profile: 3.9 out of 5 from 186 reviews on 11 November 2026, 135 five-star, 12 four-star, 3 three-star, 1 two-star and 35 one-star, with six reviews in the last twelve months and one of the negative ones answered, after seventeen days. The recent page tells the story of both sides of the network. A four-star from 8 September 2026 is the below-minimum deposit credited by hand. A one-star from April 2026 is a campaign stuck at starting, answered in May. A five-star from March 2026 reads “Set up a campaign in like 20 min, no KYC” and praises paying in crypto and picking exact publishers. The one-stars from 2024 and 2025 are a publisher paid nothing for 35 clicks, an advertiser locked for suspected multi-accounting, a KYC request after a deposit, and a second-click complaint, two of them never answered. The older pages are mostly publishers paid on time. Slise has no Trustpilot profile; the address for one answers not found, and we found no independent customer review of Slise anywhere. The quotes on its site are the ones discussed above, and one of them is also on A-ADS’s site under another name.

Which door for which campaign

Take Slise when the target is a wallet, not a reader: a protocol launch that needs holders of a specific token, a chain migration aimed at the wallets already active on the old chain, a wallet or hardware product sold to people who have just connected one. The budget must clear $5,000 by contract whatever the FAQ says, the money is gone once it is paid, and you will be dealing with a person rather than a dashboard. Ask for the publisher list before you sign, since the FAQ offers it, and ask which of the two minimums applies to you in writing.

Take A-ADS for everything that is a test, a small budget or a campaign that needs to be live today: an exchange or casino that the mainstream platforms will not take, a publisher-site campaign that can be tuned by picking individual sites from the catalogue, a brand that wants to stay anonymous. Set the daily budget to the crypto category, read the statistics page before you pick a site, and treat the deposit as spent the moment it lands, because the terms let the network decide whether any of it comes back. If you need a wallet-level audience with a self-serve door, neither of these is it; our HypeLab vs Slise head-to-head and our HypeLab vs A-ADS head-to-head cover the network that sells that, and the full field is in our Web3 ad networks ranking.

The bottom line

One company sells two things from one room: the connected wallet, by invoice, with a $5,000 floor and a five-dollar cap on its own liability; and the crypto web, by the day, for $100, with discretion over refunds and a fifth of the money kept as fees. Buy the first when you can name the wallets you want and can afford to be wrong. Buy the second when you want to see the inventory, the statistics and the bill before you commit, and keep the deposit small until the crypto category has shown you what a thousand impressions cost. Treat the shared testimonial as a reminder that marketing copy is not evidence on either site; the contracts are, and we have quoted them. Both networks sit in our ranking of the best crypto ad networks in 2026, A-ADS some way above Slise, and our Cointraffic vs A-ADS head-to-head shows what the self-serve network looks like against a managed one that does publish its prices; Slise against that same managed network is in our Slise vs Cointraffic head-to-head.

Slise vs A-ADS FAQ

Are Slise and A-ADS the same company?

They are two companies with one address and one owner’s stable. Slise contracts as Web3 Media Ventures Limited, a Seychelles company with a Hong Kong correspondence address at Room 1404 of the Blissful Building; A-ADS contracts as Alpha Communication Services Limited at the same room. A-ADS’s homepage calls Slise “our other network”, and maads.com lists Slise, AADS and Metabay as its own platforms. Each contract is separate, so a deposit at one buys nothing at the other.

Which has the lower minimum, Slise or A-ADS?

A-ADS, by a wide margin. Its help centre sets the deposit at $100, rising to $250 for USDT on Ethereum, and the card route through Changelly needs about $125 to clear the floor. Slise’s FAQ says $500 and its terms say $5,000, and whichever applies arrives on an invoice after a conversation. Slise’s blog says A-Ads has no minimum deposit; A-ADS’s own pages say it does, and its terms keep anything paid below it.

Can I get a refund from Slise or A-ADS?

Plan for no. Slise’s terms call every payment final and non-refundable, with a refund only if Slise ends the service itself, and inactive balances can be forfeited after six months. A-ADS’s terms make refunds the network’s entire discretion, rule them out once money has gone to publishers, delete idle accounts and balances after six months, and keep 20% of spend as fees. Slise caps its own liability at five dollars; A-ADS accepts none.

Does A-ADS offer wallet targeting like Slise?

No. A-ADS targets by publisher site, site category, country and language, over banners that carry no JavaScript and set no cookies, so it cannot see a wallet. Wallet personas, chains, wallet activity, lookalikes and wallet lists are Slise’s product, sold through the same owner’s managed door. A buyer who needs the wallet pays Slise’s minimum; a buyer who needs reach pays A-ADS’s.

What does a thousand impressions cost on each?

Slise quotes CPM “under $10” and printed $6–7 in one case study; the exact rate depends on the campaign settings and is agreed before the invoice. A-ADS does not sell impressions at all; it sells a share of each day’s traffic, prints an average of $0.04 to $0.05 per thousand, and on 11 November 2026 its statistics page showed the crypto category at $0.51 and all traffic at $0.05. Our arithmetic on its thirty-day series puts gross spend at about $0.55 per thousand unique impressions.

Which is better for a publisher?

A-ADS for almost any site, because it will take one. There is no strict traffic minimum, the unit is a line of HTML, payment is in bitcoin from 0.001 BTC with any amount over Lightning, and the network keeps 20%. The counter-argument is the yield: the publishers’ share of the last thirty days’ spend works out at about $45 per active publisher. Slise pays USDT on Ethereum within fifteen days of month-end at an agreed CPM, which is better money, but it takes dApps with a connected wallet, not websites, and the list is not open.
