CheerAd
The simple sponsorship widget for creators and indies.
Hey Sol Fam, ☀️, this is for you!
I’ve been a dev in this space for a while, and I got tired of useless tokens. So I built something real.
The Problem: Millions of indie makers (in Turkey, Brazil, India, etc.) cannot use Stripe. They build great apps but can't get paid.
The Solution: CheerAd ($CHEER) I built a Sponsorship-Widget layer that allows any site owner to accept payments in $CHEER instantly. No banks. No borders. No political restrictions.
But here is the Alpha (The Tokenomics): I didn't want just a boring utility token. I gamified the transaction layer with something called "CHEERPOOL". 🎰 for boosting community and encourage people to support each other.
The Jackpot: 5% of ALL platform transaction fees go into a "Pot".
The Ticket: Every time a sponsor pays with $CHEER, or a maker accepts it, they enter the weekly draw.
The Lock: You must hold 100k+ $CHEER to be eligible to win the pot.
This creates:
Real Buy Pressure (from sponsors needing ads).
Real Hold Incentive (to win the jackpot).
Real Revenue (SaaS model).
The code is live. The platform is working.

Disclaimer: I am the lead dev. This is a utility project, but crypto is volatile. NFA/DYOR. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
CheerAd has its first user who added their web page.
But no Stripe connections yet.
Hey Indie Hackers! 👋
We all know the struggle of monetizing a side project or a directory. Usually, we have two bad options:
AdSense and others: Ruins the UI, tracks users, and pays pennies unless you have millions of views, some "surprise" ads may occur.
Donations (BuyMeACoffee etc.): Great for community, but often passive and unreliable.
I wanted a middle ground. A way to monetize that looks professional, respects privacy, and gives actual value to the supporter.
So I built CheerAd.
It’s a simple concept: Instead of algorithmic ads, it allows your visitors (or fellow makers) to buy a "Spotlight Spot" on your page's empty spaces instantly. They get visibility for their project, and you get direct revenue via Stripe.
Why I think it's better for Indies:
Community-First: It turns passive visitors into active sponsors.
Design-Native: It’s a clean widget, not a flashy banner.
No Tracking: We don't spy on your users.
Win-Win solution for your supporters.
It's currently free to use (we only take a small platform fee if you actually earn money).
I’d love to get your feedbacks.
