Commerce

Months 3–4

First real money moves on Arc mainnet

What is Commerce

Commerce is where Vertex stops being a testnet demo. Vertex deploys to Arc mainnet on day one and onboards its first design partners — real advertisers, real publishers, real USDC.

The shift

Settlement that keeps up with the impression.

Legacy ad-tech

Net-60, in the dark

  • Reconciliation 30–60 days later
  • Opaque chain of intermediaries
  • Batch payouts, fees you can't trace

Vertex on Arc

Per-impression, in the open

  • Settlement the moment an ad serves
  • Every cent traceable on-chain
  • USDC payouts, no net-60 cycle

A two-sided market

Both sides, live on real traffic.

For advertisers

Design-partner advertisers run live campaigns with real spend, with full reporting on where every cent goes — down to the impression.

For publishers

Publishers are paid per impression in USDC, not on a net-60 reconciliation cycle — Vertex settles on Arc, you receive on your terms.

Design partners

Real advertisers. Real publishers.

2–4 signed design partners running live campaigns with real spend on real publisher inventory.

Building the rails for the agentic advertising economy.
