Auctions at the Speed of Light The RTB & Auction Engine processes bid requests in under 10ms — from request receipt through floor price evaluation, bid solicitation, auction execution, and winner notification. OpenRTB 2.6 compliance ensures interoperability with all major demand-side platforms. Floor price optimization uses historical bid data and machine learning to set optimal floor prices per impression. Pre-bid fraud detection filters invalid traffic (IVT) including bot traffic, ad stacking, and pixel stuffing before they enter the auction.
