How it works
Simple mechanics. No hidden algorithms. Purely competitive rank.
Rank is cumulative total paid
Every payment a listing makes is added to that listing's running total. Rank is strictly that total, highest first. It is cumulative, not last-payment-wins — paying $5.00 three times places the product at $15.00.
Ties are broken by who got there first. If two listings hold the exact same total, the one whose first payment landed earlier ranks higher.
There is no algorithmic bias, editorial curation, or quality score multiplier. The order of the board is purely determined by the total amount paid.
One listing per domain or handle
A listing represents a canonical website domain or @handle. URLs are automatically normalized to ensure fair competition.
Submitting a bid for a domain that is already on the board adds directly to its existing total and pushes it higher up the board.
Link shorteners, raw IP addresses, and non-web schemes are blocked. Listings must point directly to the destination.
Taking a spot
To take #1 or overtake any spot, your cumulative total must exceed that position's current total by at least $1.00.
You don't have to aim for #1. Bidding any amount ($1.00 minimum) still places you on the public leaderboard at whatever rank that total can claim.
Fair play and safety
