Fraud-Proof, and Universal: Meet the Founder Challenging Affiliate Marketing Giants

Glidescale is not just another affiliate marketing platform. It’s a system designed to work for every type of campaign, from e-commerce to education, activism to content creation, while eliminating the vulnerabilities that plague traditional affiliate models. With no need for storefronts, complex integrations, or upfront costs, Glidescale supports any link and rewards engagement with performance-based compensation. Real-time fraud detection, low fees, and universal applicability position it as a foundational infrastructure for a new era of digital marketing.

Built from the ground up, Glidescale is changing how digital campaigns are launched, tracked, and trusted. While legacy platforms were designed for the early web, focused narrowly on clicks that lead to shopping carts, Glidescale opens the model to fit how the internet actually works today. Whether the goal is to boost a song release, drive views to a newsletter, or promote a petition, Glidescale provides a direct path to scale via affiliates, without the high costs or limitations of conventional tools.

Its core differentiator lies in its fraud-proof architecture. Using device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, and link-level validation, the platform verifies every click before a payout is issued. This means affiliate programs can finally be safe for pay-per-click models—something most traditional systems struggle to guarantee.

“You give us a link, we do the rest,” says founder Victor Boechat de Carvalho.

There’s no need for complicated integrations or technical teams. The system handles the back-end verification and tracking automatically, making campaign management accessible to solo creators, nonprofits, and businesses alike.

A Platform Designed for Everything, Not Just Sales

Affiliate marketing was born during the first era of the commercial web, built on clicks that turned into carts. Legacy platforms reflect that origin. They focus almost exclusively on product sales, requiring storefronts, structured checkouts, and manual integrations. These tools are functional, but outdated.

“If all you have is a donation page or a cause, you’re excluded from most affiliate platforms,” Boechat explains.

Glidescale challenges that. The platform supports any link, regardless of whether a product is being sold. Whether it’s a newsletter signup, a song release, or a research paper, campaigns can be launched instantly, with real-time tracking and performance-based compensation for affiliates.

But what Boechat built isn’t just broader—it’s stronger. Glidescale was developed from the ground up with fraud detection at the core, not as an afterthought. Using device fingerprinting and behavioral analytics, it verifies every click before any payout is made. This infrastructure gives advertisers and campaign managers what many other platforms still can’t: trust.

Security Without Trade-offs

Digital ad fraud is not a side issue—it’s a multibillion-dollar problem. In the pay-per-click space especially, bot traffic and fake engagement are the norm. Most platforms have responded by tightening restrictions or charging extra for verification. Boechat’s solution was different.

There’s no need for complicated integrations or third-party tools. Glidescale’s system verifies traffic in real time, making it accessible even for users without technical backgrounds. For Boechat, the goal was straightforward: remove the typical friction points so that anyone, with or without a dev team, could run affiliate campaigns with confidence.

Redefining Influence

Perhaps Glidescale’s most unconventional feature isn’t technical—it’s structural. While most marketing platforms focus exclusively on conversions, Glidescale was built to accommodate a broader definition of value. Whether the goal is promoting a petition, sharing educational materials, or driving traffic to a podcast, the platform allows campaigns to reward engagement based on link performance, not just sales.

This shift opens the door to users who have traditionally been excluded from affiliate systems that prioritize e-commerce. Activists, teachers, creators, and indie developers can now run campaigns with the same legitimacy and tools as large retail brands.

“There are so many voices doing meaningful work, creators, educators, even indie developers, who’ve been locked out of growth because they don’t fit into a conversion funnel,” Boechat says. “We built a platform that respects their contributions.”

Still Early, But Building Quiet Momentum

Glidescale remains in its early growth stage. It has not raised a major funding round, and it doesn’t trumpet user numbers. But its trajectory is deliberate, and its user base, particularly among nonprofits and solo creators, is steadily expanding.

“I didn’t know how hard it would be to build universal software,” Boechat admits. “But I had already started. And I believed it needed to exist.”

Those beliefs – clear, grounded, and quietly ambitious – are what continue to set Glidescale apart.

More Than a Tool: A Standard in the Making

At a time when digital advertising is dominated by noise, fraud, and rigid paywalls, Glidescale doesn’t just offer a new tool. It offers a correction. It redefines what digital campaigns can be, and who is allowed to run them.

Boechat’s vision is not about disruption for its own sake. It’s about re-establishing fairness, utility, and trust in a system that has lost all three. His work may have started with a simple question. But the answer is shaping up to be one of the most important affiliate platforms of this next era.

“If you’ve got something worth sharing,” Boechat says, “you shouldn’t need a storefront or a product. You just need a link. That’s enough.”

And in the system he’s built, it finally is.
