Affiliate Attribution Layer

Prove the conversion.
Pay the commission automatically.

Stand up an affiliate system where an influencer's earnings from sales across multiple platforms are tracked and paid automatically on verified conversions. The Royalty Standard, Royalty Clearing, and External Data Oracles anchor conversion data to each influencer's unique tracking and settle commissions against every platform's agreed terms.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn disputed, platform-by-platform attribution into verified conversions that pay commissions on their own.

01.

Verified Conversion Feed

Anchor conversions from source. External Data Oracles stream each attributed sale into the contract, so a commission rests on a verified event rather than a platform's private dashboard.

02.

Unified Attribution Keys

Bind every sale to one identity. An influencer's unique tracking resolves consistently across platforms, so the same person is credited whether the sale closed on a marketplace or a brand's own site.

03.

Per-Platform Terms

Encode each platform's rules. The Royalty Standard captures differing rates and attribution windows, applying the correct terms to each conversion instead of a single blunt rate.

04.

Automatic Clearing

Pay without invoicing. Royalty Clearing computes and disburses earnings on verified conversions, so influencers stop chasing brands for statements and payments.

05.

Window Enforcement

Honour attribution windows exactly. A conversion is credited only if it falls inside the platform's agreed window, ending disputes over sales claimed just outside the boundary.

06.

Transparent Earnings

Show the math to both sides. Influencer and brand read the same anchored conversion and commission records, so an earnings figure is reconcilable rather than contested.

The Commission Lifecycle

Follow a single promoted sale from a tracked click through verified conversion to an automatically cleared commission.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes affiliate attribution into modular contracts. Each layer registers terms, verifies conversions, applies windows, and clears commissions without a platform gatekeeping the numbers.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Verified, cross-platform commission clearing is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors put the shared attribution ledger to work.

Creators & Influencers

Get paid on proof, not promises. Creators earn from verified conversions across every platform they promote on, with a transparent record instead of chasing brand statements.

Key Asset Types

  1. 1Conversion Credits
  2. 2Earnings Records
  3. 3Tracking Keys

Brands & Advertisers

Pay only for attributed sales. Brands settle commissions automatically against anchored conversions and agreed windows, cutting overpayment and reconciliation overhead.

Key Asset Types

  1. 1Campaign Terms
  2. 2Commission Ledgers
  3. 3Attribution Reports

Affiliate Networks

Run attribution both sides trust. Networks operate one verified conversion feed across member platforms, reducing disputes and clawbacks between advertisers and publishers.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging platform analytics and payout rails or routing native wallet-signed conversions, Cerulea settles commissions on one verified attribution record.

Track A: Platform Analytics Bridging

For brands and networks on existing affiliate tooling. Attributed conversions and terms are translated into anchored campaign and conversion records through the API gateway automatically.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects affiliate-platform engineering benchmarks. Unifying attribution across platforms, encoding per-platform terms and windows, and building automatic commission clearing for an average network takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your attribution and payout rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the clearing ledger instantly.
