Competition rules
One board. Your total decides the rank.
WhaleRanked is a deterministic paid leaderboard decided by completed payments. No votes, judges, prizes, or hidden score decide the order.
New positions start at $1
Choose a whole-dollar public total from $1 to the supported $999,999 ceiling. The interface changes that total in exact $1 steps.
Higher completed totals rank first
The projected rank updates before checkout. If two identities complete the same total, the earlier completed payment keeps the higher position.
A returning identity pays only the difference
Use the same canonical URL or X @handle and the same Privy account. A new identity pays its full selected total; a returning owner must select a total above its current verified total and pays only the difference.
The public identity is resolved before payment
WhaleRanked reads the public destination, name, description, favicon, or profile image from the entered website or X profile. The preview lets the buyer confirm the correct identity before signing a wallet transaction.
One active quote reserves the selected total
The selected total is reserved for 30 minutes while a source transaction is submitted. A detected cross-chain route remains reserved while it settles. A rank is never silently substituted; a confirmed transfer that cannot be applied is held for manual investigation.
The purchase produces an immediate digital result
A completed move sets a public leaderboard total, corresponding position, contender identity, and move record. It does not buy a prize, investment, revenue share, guaranteed audience, conversion, endorsement, or permanent hold on a rank.
The public leaderboard record persists
Each active identity appears with its tracked destination, current total, takeover history, click totals, and shareable receipts. Rankings and records are subject to necessary fraud corrections and lawful removal requests.
List an authorized product website or X profile
You must own or be authorized to list the submitted destination. Chat and invitation links—including Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar services—are not eligible.
Tracking parameters do not define a listing
Query parameters and fragments are stripped before ranking and before outbound visits. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs therefore resolve to the same canonical listing. Platform paths remain distinct so different apps, repositories, and profiles do not share a total.
Only safe, lawful identities belong
No malware, impersonation, unlawful products, sexual exploitation, hate, deceptive claims, link shorteners, private-network addresses, or content that infringes another party's rights.
Wallets are pseudonymous, not invisible
The board does not publish a payer's Privy account. Source and settlement transactions and wallet addresses remain public on their blockchains, and WhaleRanked stores the minimum ownership, route, and transaction records needed to prevent duplicate fulfilment.
Problems are investigated against the on-chain record
Unsafe listings can be disabled. For a payment, moderation, or removal issue, contact support@rankbybid.com with the transaction hash. Blockchain transfers are irreversible, but nothing in these rules limits rights that cannot legally be excluded.
