How WhaleRanked works
Choose the move. See the rank.
WhaleRanked is a deterministic paid leaderboard. There are no judges, votes, prizes, or hidden scoring systems: higher completed totals rank first, and earlier payment wins a tie.
- 01
Enter one public identity
Use a company domain, product URL, public profile, or X @handle. WhaleRanked resolves its public name, description, destination, favicon, or profile image before payment.
- 02
Choose a whole-dollar total
New positions start at $1 and the launch ceiling is $1,000. Enter a whole-dollar total and see the projected rank before payment. WhaleRanked will not quote above that reviewed commercial limit.
- 03
Pay from the wallet you already use
Choose ETH, SOL, POL, USDC, or USDT on an enabled EVM or Solana source network, including Polygon. LI.FI quotes the route to exact Circle USDC settlement on Ethereum; WhaleRanked and Privy never receive a private key or seed phrase. BTC remains an arena but is not payable until its linked-wallet flow is proven end to end.
- 04
Build a public competitive record
The leaderboard records current rank, verified total, primary identity, click totals, and completed move history. The payment buys this deterministic digital result—not a promise of traffic or duration.
- 05
Return when a rival passes you
Sign in with the same private Privy account, enter the same canonical identity, choose a new total above the current one, and pay only the difference from any enabled payment wallet.
Why the product can compound
A normal leaderboard records an outcome. WhaleRanked creates a visible competitive decision: move above a rival, take the lead, defend a position, or return when another contender passes you. Every completed move updates the same public record.
What the payment buys
A deterministic leaderboard rank, a verified contender identity, first-party outbound click measurement, and an entry in the public move history—not equity, a prize, an investment, guaranteed traffic, or ownership of the site. Another completed takeover can move the listing down at any time.
One crown, multiple coin arenas
The main leaderboard always ranks contenders by their completed public total. Coin arenas are alternate verified views: they rank the dollars actually paid from BTC, ETH, SOL, POL, USDC, or USDT, without changing the overall crown.
Built independently
WhaleRanked is an independent personal project by @victordascencao. Its $1 total controls, projected-rank pricing, resolved public identities, first-party click methodology, and public move receipts form one original product system.
Click methodology
Every project and social destination opens through a first-party WhaleRanked redirect. A click counts only when the browser marks it as an explicit document navigation; obvious bots, scripted requests, embedded loads, previews, prefetches, and prerenders are excluded. Repeat clicks to the same destination from the same browser are counted once within a ten-minute window. The public total measures qualified outbound leaderboard clicks only; it is not a promise of unique people, conversions, or commercial results. WhaleRanked does not use this counter for cross-site tracking.
