Today we are excited to announce our $5 million raise to build a new era of privacy-first advertising. The round is led by EV3 with participation from Animoca Brands, GD1, Laser Digital (Nomura), Mentat Group alongside awesome partners including XION, Opacity Network, and Mysten Labs (Sui).
This new capital accelerates our vision to give you full agency over your digital life, allowing you to monetise your data, protect your privacy, and be rewarded for your engagement.
Digital advertising is fundamentally flawed. It’s intrusive, frustrating, exploitative and getting worse. Brands are spending $1 trillion a year with Meta, Google & TikTok to reach consumers. None of that money ends up in your wallet. It’s time that changed.
We believe if a brand wants your attention and business, they should invest directly in you, not just the ad platform.
How EarnOS Makes Advertising Great Again
Enter EarnOS: We invert the flow of advertising spend by letting brands reward you directly in stablecoins for your verifiable interests and engagement—thanks to zkTLS —without compromising your data.
This isn’t just about “fixing ads,” it’s about building a new, better internet where people are recognized as equal stakeholders, and rewarded accordingly; and where brands can tell their story and target their ideal users with surgical precision.
“Great technology should be invisible,” says Phil George, Founder of EarnOS. “Our mission is simple: effortlessly reward genuine interactions. Brands spend $1T per year on advertising to target 5.5 Billion people. We are transforming that spend into consumer rewards while delivering superior outcomes for the world's biggest companies. Instead of all that money ending up with Meta, Google, and TikTok, it ends up in everyone's wallets - now, everyone wins.
For the first time, anyone on the internet can get rewarded by brands, just for being themselves.”
Web3 for the Masses
With zkTLS powered by @OpacityNetwork, you can prove traits (like being a frequent traveler or avid runner) via your favourite apps without revealing personal info. Brands target the right people; you stay private and earn real rewards.
Sitting at the core of EarnOS is XION, the walletless blockchain built for mainstream adoption. They are making crypto complexities disappear. @burntbanksy and the team have been instrumental in helping us deliver world-class consumer focused experiences.
“EarnOS exemplifies how simplifying Web3 can unlock real-world applications, transforming traditional industries like advertising,” said Burnt Banksy, XION founder. “As one of largest projects built on the XION blockchain, EarnOS is leading the way in demonstrating how innovative technology can create meaningful value for both users and brands.”
Additionally, we would like to make a special shoutout to Sal Gala and the team at EV3 for leading our seed round. It’s a pleasure to work with such high conviction, founder friendly legends.
In Sal’s words “Our investment reflects EV3’s commitment to technologies that empower individuals to regain sovereignty and ownership over their digital lives. EarnOS is reshaping digital advertising by using novel cryptography to unlock ‘verifiable campaigns’ for brands while rewarding consumers instantly for their data, fostering trust and transparency in how users and brands engage in the digital economy.”
The Road Ahead
With 350k+ beta users, we’re ready to scale. Our launch is imminent, bringing real rewards and a community-driven referral system that rewards you every time your network earns.
EarnOS wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team, community & technology partners including XION, TurnKey, Bridge, Opacity Network, Mysten Labs / Sui, Circle, Immersve,. We’re pumped for a big 2025 together!
There is a lot more we can’t wait to tell you about. In the mean time, join our waitlist, and get ready for launch coming soon at earnos.com
