Rules

The whole mechanic, with nothing hidden. If any of this is unclear before you send money, it is our fault, not yours.

01How rank is decided

One number decides everything: total US dollars committed to a listing, all time. Highest total sits at slot 01.
Payments add up. A listing that has paid $40 across four transactions sits exactly where a listing that paid $40 once sits.
When two listings are level, the older one holds the higher slot. Being early is the only tiebreak.
The minimum is $2, and bids are whole US dollars.
Clicks, category, age, popularity and how good the product is have no effect on rank whatsoever.

02Taking the top slot

One dollar more than the current holder takes slot 01.
If you already hold a slot you only pay the gap. Sitting at $50 while slot 01 sits at $300 means $251 puts you on top, not $301.
A takeover pins slot 01 for 3 hours regardless of what anyone bids, and costs 5x the current top total. The money still counts toward your total when the pin ends.

03Paying for a slot you can actually get

Payments are not instant. Between starting one and it finalising, someone else can be credited ahead of you.
So when you buy, you can require a slot: apply this only if it lands me at slot N or better.
If it misses, the money is recorded in full but held rather than applied. You are never moved into a position you did not choose.
Held money is yours to direct: top up the difference and take the slot, accept the lower slot, or ask for a refund minus network fees.
This is an accounting hold, not an escrow contract. Your funds reach the treasury address like any other payment; what is held is whether they buy rank. We would rather say that plainly than call it something it is not.
Purchases made through the Telegram bot always require the slot, because you cannot watch the board from a chat window.

04Paying

Slots are priced in US dollars and paid in SOL, ETH, BNB.
The exchange rate is locked when you start a payment and honoured for 20 minutes. If the market moves inside that window, that is our problem, not yours.
You are credited for what actually arrives, converted at the rate you were quoted. Underpay and you get less rank; overpay and you get more. There is no exact-amount trap.
A payment counts once it is final: finalized commitment on Solana, 12 confirmations on Ethereum, 15 on BNB Chain. BNB Chain waits longest because it has produced multi-block reorgs.
Solana payments carry a unique reference key, so they match exactly. EVM chains have no memo on a plain transfer, which is why we ask which wallet you are paying from.

05What gets rejected

Wallet drainers, seed-phrase or private-key collection, and anything imitating a wallet connect flow.
Impersonating another project, team or token.
Link shorteners and redirect chains, because the destination has to be visible before anyone clicks.
Direct chat links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord invites) in place of a product.
Tracking parameters are stripped from every link automatically.

06Money, plainly

New listings are reviewed by a human before they appear. Your payment is recorded either way.
If a listing is rejected, the payment is refunded minus network fees.
Otherwise payments are final. They are on-chain transfers: we cannot reverse one, and neither can you.
Paying more does not buy a review, an endorsement, or a safety check. It buys a position in a list and nothing else.
Every outbound link is marked sponsored and nofollow, because every one of them was paid for.

Nothing on this board is investment advice, and no listing here has been audited by us. A high slot means someone spent money. That is the entire signal.
