Ledder presents a technology stack that may take may break the deadlock in the development of outdoor advertising. This technology company out of Hong Kong has invented the way to make billboard ads substantially more efficient in terms of electricity consumption, cost of maintenance, conversion rate, and connectedness with all of the most vital ad networks, such as Google Ads, Amazon Advertising, Facebook, etc.
The offered solution comes as a merger of a physical product - Digital Blade, 10mm deep, solar powered state-of-the-art digital billboards, with the decentralized 3-layer virtual platform, called the Ledder Network, created on the basis of the Ethereum blockchain, capable of handling up to 200 thousand microtransactions in a second. The purpose of the Network is to unite all billboards dispersed around the world into a coherent whole that feeds the necessary data directly to the outside advertising platforms and runs on ULD, the ERC-20 compliant utility token.
The super-thin and ultra-light digital screens represent the core of the palpable side of the Ledder Network. To be more precise, one such screen weights around 150 kg and has a thickness of 10 mm that goes beyond comparison with the standard generously proportioned digital billboards.
Digital Blade screens are universally applicable and interchangeable since they are wireless and fully compatible with most LED modules. Thanks to the use of fine magnetic locks called FilmMagnetfix, these screens can be placed effortlessly on any appropriate surfaces - road banners and conventional billboards, among other things. Digital Blade doesn’t require an external electricity supply because they are powered by the in-built solar panels, thus making each screen fully autonomous.
However, simply placing an advertisement on a better screen won’t suffice the purpose of disrupting the industry - it must be controlled, the number of displays and views have to be accounted for, and the corresponding data transmitted to the Ledder Network.
This is achieved by the installation of a supplementary device - Neuro Eye, a digital controlled equipped with two HD video cameras and a cutting-edge NVidia processor to monitor the ad display by utilizing two of Ledder’s 26 patented technologies: TrafficControl and TranslationControl.
All gathered data gets encoded and then decoded in the Ledder network using the HVEC coding standard, and then processed by the means of OmniSci.
The architecture of Ledder platform is made of three levels: the interface level is comprised of the multitude of nodes that handle the communication and computation load and exercise the function of a gateway to other two levels, which constitute the blockchain framework; the computing level is also made of nodes, which include blockchain registers, situated in data centers of Google, Amazon and such.
Finally, the network level is represented by the nodes, placed in close proximity to digital screens, which transmit bits of information about the displayed pieces of advertisement to the computing level.
The ULD tokens will be used primarily for purchasing the advertisement space on screens, funding ad campaigns, and conducting international transactions. Ledder will also provide their customer with means for issuing stable coins pegged to fiat currencies, which will be used to facilitate financial relations between all network participants.
All interested investors can already start purchasing ULED as Ledder is having the pre-ICO sale that will run throughout the next two month, till July 31. There is also a chance to receive free tokens as Ledder also offers an airdrop program. The start price of 1 ULED is $0.01, though the minimum investment threshold is rather high, set at $10000. The project will also organize the STO where they will sell SLED, the security tokens that will be converted to Ledder shares. The dates of STO have not been specified yet.

I don't intend to invest in Ledder because the minimum investment threshold that they had set is too damn steep for a project that has apparently flopped. I claim that Ledder is most likely to have failed because it has totally disappeared from the informational horizon. Their last tweet dates back to July 3, and Ledder's official website has been inaccessible for quite some time now. This begs the conclusion that the Ledder team decided to pull out even before the official ICO ran its course.

Does anyone know why Ledder has shut down its website? Did the company seize its operations? I would very much like to know because I have an investment opportunity brewing up that would be beneficial to both me and Ledder. I tried to contact the founding members via LinkedIn, but so far didn’t get any reply. It would be a pity if this project had indeed gone bust. With the right investment plan, it could have greatly improved the advertising industry.

Setting the minimum investment threshold so high (at $10,000) is a crucial mistake made by Ledder in their fundraising strategy. It can be explained from the logical point of view: the development and the launch of mass production of Ledder's tech solutions in an expensive ordeal, but in practicality, the team has placed itself in full dependance from large investors and manufacturers. It remains to be seen whether such an approach would work out in reaching at least a softcap.
