Marketing & Monetization update

We’re spreading the word to drive more users and increase the number of searches to build revenue!

Inbound leads ramping up
This week saw a significant number of inbound inquiries from qualified agencies and advertisers looking to utilize the Presearch platform.
Ed is here to share his thoughts and observations.
Uniswap liquidity staking program
Brenden is organizing a Uniswap liquidity program that will provide additional PRE incentives for liquidity providers (LPs).
A PRE-ETH pool will be announced next week and the following week will be the PRE-USDT pool.
Lockup periods from daily to 3 months — the longer the period, the higher the APY, which will be announced over the next two weeks.
Outbound marketing
Outreach campaign on Tuesday through CryptoOfficer to more than a hundred Telegram groups resulted in a doubling of registered user sign-ups. More influencer marketing next week on X, plus interviews with Tim and new French video.
Keyword staking ad changes
Ability to move ads back to the top of results and pay a consumptive fee for priority placement is now in development and will be in place within the next two weeks.
Airdrop promotions underway
Presearch continues to work with a number of airdrop sites and altcoin gem sites to promote the project and the airdrop opportunity.
YouTuber outreach
The project continues to engage in outreach to YouTubers and other crypto influencers to help bring awareness to Presearch. Next week we will be participating in an AMA with Flux. Lots more to come!
Ambassador program
The ambassador program continues to take shape.
This program enables community members to earn additional income by helping to actively promote Presearch and increase the number of searches.

Roadmap feedback
We’ve posted the latest version of the roadmap on the community platform for feedback.
Some great responses so far, specifically Ben, who provided extensive commentary.
We appreciate your thoughts and help prioritizing initiatives.
Tokenomics discussion
As we continue with the Cosmos integration, we are looking at all of the ways to use the chain to transfer value within the ecosystem.
Ahead of that integration, with wallets, rewards, staking, keyword staking, proof of impression, proof of conversion, etc. moving on-chain, we are looking at ways to increase transparency, including setting up public wallets through which we can report payments for ads, and income value in addition to expense value.
Ad discussion
We’ve initiated a new discussion on Presearch ads and monetization on the community platform. Thank you in advance to all for your feedback!
Tagline / slogan feedback
Looking for community participation in determining the Presearch tagline / slogan. Thinking about doing a contest to choose a slogan that we incorporate onto a revised homepage that is more descriptive.
Need a separate PreGPT slogan as well.
Outreach efforts expanding
Working with community members to focus on a number of initiatives:
- PTA outreach via community -darwin@presearch.io
- General growth-collaborate@presearch.io
- Search API — collaborate@presearch.io
