Official Leaderboard Rules
Zero ads, pure bids. Transparent pay-to-rank for founders and builders.
1. Bidding & Rank Rules
- Minimum initial spot: New placements start at $5.
- Taking Rank #1: Requires outbidding the current leader by at least +$5.
- All other ranks (#2+): Requires outbidding by at least +$1.
- Cumulative top-ups: If you are already on the board, any additional payment adds to your lifetime total paid balance. You only pay the difference needed to climb.
- Tie-breaking rule: If two founders have the exact same total bid, the earlier registered founder retains the higher rank.
