How ranking bids and first place work

Any bid enters the ranking

You can enter with one dollar or with more. That amount is added to your public total. The list follows who has invested the most over time.

One throne price, seen by everyone

The current first-place bid appears before anyone pays it. There is no private discount and no separate throne price by country or category.

Why the throne number keeps rising

Each confirmed first-place claim sets a new floor. If someone paid the current amount, the next throne bid has to beat it.

What the money actually buys

• A public place in the ranking ordered by total invested
• The option to take current world #1 by paying the throne price
• A public page with name, headline, country, category and biography
• A main button, a featured project and optional public contact
• A record of wins, time at the top and unlockable achievements

A short window that is only yours

After a claim is confirmed, the new leader keeps the top for at least ten minutes. That pause stops two people from buying the same moment and gives the name at number one time to be seen.

Follow the value in public

The next bid is always visible on the home page. If the top is temporarily reserved or protected, the site says so before anyone starts a payment.
