Advertising is THE currency of Internet. Thanks to advertising, most of our favorite websites, online publications, and applications are all free to access and use. However, the current advertising model is broken, and as advertisers and publishers race to capture profits, users are faced with bloated and slow websites, overwhelming and ad-filled user experiences, and their data being sold to the highest bidder.
To reverse that trend and create a cleaner, better Internet, the Varanida team is building a collaborative advertising and content ecosystem that will reward users for helping clean the Internet. The name Varanida comes from Varanidae, a family of big lizards that are known for being natural cleaners of mangroves and fields. Like those lizards, their goal is to work with Advertisers, Publishers, and Users to help clean the Internet.

Airdrop Through A Browser Extension
They have release the first prototype of Varanida, an “ad-controller” browser extension that allows their community to be rewarded any time they block intrusive ads or scripts while surfing the Internet.
The reward takes the form of VAD (Verified Ad) Tokens, which are ERC-20 tokens running on the Ethereum Network.
A total of 20 Million VAD Tokens will be distributed during this prototype phase, which represents 2% of the total supply of 1 Billion VAD.
The Airdrop will end when 2% of all VAD tokens have been distributed, so the sooner you download the Varanida Extension, the more VAD you can earn! In addition, inviting your friends early on guarantees that you will earn VAD for your referral, and give your friends time to earn their VAD as well.
To maximize your VAD reward, they recommend you to uninstall any other ad blocker software while using Varanida. In addition, many ad blockers are actually making money by reselling your data to advertisers, and/or have monetization deals with some ad networks, so uninstalling them helps you further protect and control your data.

How To Redeem Your VAD Tokens
During the Airdrop, you won’t receive your tokens immediately, but you will be able to track “virtual tokens” that show how much VAD you will receive at the end of the Airdrop. Once all of the Airdrop tokens have been claimed, an Audit and KYC phases will begin. During the KYC, you will need to identify yourself, and once your identity has been validated, you will receive your VAD ERC-20 tokens in the following days.
Any undistributed tokens that are not claimed by validated users will be redistributed to validated addresses, which prevents people from taking unfair advantage of the Airdrop system.
