Getting Started

What is AscendX

AscendX is a monetization platform for mobile app publishers. It brings additional server-to-server demand into your app and lets it compete with the ad sources you already use, so every ad opportunity is filled at the best available price.

You can run AscendX alongside your existing mediation — AppLovin MAX, Google AdMob or Unity LevelPlay — through a custom adapter, or integrate the AscendX Unity SDK directly and decide the winner yourself.

How to enable AscendX

1. Get your AscendX account

   Contact the AscendX team to get your App ID (account ID) and the Ad Unit IDs for each ad format you want to monetize.

2. Choose an integration type

   Pick the integration that matches your current stack. See Integration Types for a comparison.

3. Install the SDK or adapter

   Add the AscendX package for your platform — Android (Gradle), iOS (CocoaPods) or Unity (UPM).

4. Configure your mediation dashboard

   Register AscendX as a custom network in your mediation and add line items with your floor prices and AscendX Ad Unit IDs.

5. Verify with test ads

   Use the demo-account App ID and the demo ad units listed in every guide to confirm that AscendX ads load and render before you go live.

6. Go live and stay up to date

   Switch to your production IDs, then follow the Release Notes to keep the SDK and adapters current.
