# Overview

## What is PubStar?

PubStar Mobile Ads SDK is a comprehensive monetization solution that enables developers to seamlessly integrate high-performance ad formats into mobile applications across multiple platforms:

* [iOS](https://cocoapods.org/pods/Pubstar)
* [Android](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.pubstar.mobile/ads)
* [React Native](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rtn-pubstar)
* [Flutter](https://pub.dev/packages/pubstar_io)
* [Unity](https://openupm.com/packages/io.pubstar.unity/)

The SDK provides a unified and flexible API for loading, displaying, and managing ads while ensuring a non-intrusive and optimized user experience.

Beyond traditional ad SDK functionality, PubStar integrates Prebid and Google Ad Manager (GAM) to create a competitive bidding environment between demand sources.

This means:

* Multiple demand partners compete in real time.
* The highest paying advertiser in a given region wins.
* Developers automatically maximize yield without manual mediation optimization.

PubStar combines direct demand, programmatic bidding, and header bidding technology into a single unified SDK.

## Supported Ad Formats

PubStar supports the following ad formats:

* Banner Ads
* Native Ads
* Interstitial Ads
* App Open Ads
* Rewarded Ad
* Video Ads (supported on selected platforms)

All formats are responsive and optimized for performance and revenue maximization.

## Key Advantages of PubStar SDK

### 1. Prebid + Google Ad Manager Integration

PubStar integrates with:

* Prebid (Header Bidding Technology)
* Google Ad Manager (GAM)

This enables:

* Real-time auction across multiple demand sources
* Dynamic CPM competition
* Automatic selection of the highest-paying ad
* Region-based revenue optimization
* Increased fill rate

Instead of waterfall mediation (which serves ads sequentially), PubStar uses bidding logic to ensure the best paying ad wins instantly.

### 2. Revenue Optimization by Region

The SDK automatically:

* Detects geographic demand differences
* Selects the highest CPM ad in each region
* Improves eCPM and overall monetization performance

Developers do not need to manually configure waterfalls per country.

### 3. Multi-Platform Support

Single monetization solution across:

* Native mobile (iOS & Android)
* Cross-platform frameworks
* Game engines (Unity)

### 4. Unified API Design

All platforms support consistent core operations:

* Initialize
* Load
* Show
* LoadAndShow

### 5. Event-Driven Architecture

Structured callbacks for:

* onLoaded
* onShowed
* onHide
* onError

This allows precise control over user experience.

### 6. Easy Integration

* CocoaPods (iOS)
* Maven (Android)
* npm/yarn (React Native)
* pub.dev (Flutter)
* Unity Package (.unitypackage)

### 7. Customization Support

* Native layout customization
* Advertising management
* Frequency control
