Today I shipped https://t.co/8eLztJXu0f.
It's a leaderboard where crypto projects pay for the top spot β except you can't really buy the top spot. You rent it.
What annoyed me about every paid ranking site: one whale drops a huge bid, parks at #1, and the board is dead. Nobody else bothers competing. The auction is over on day one.
So I made rank decay.
You buy heat. Heat burns off on an 18-hour half-life. And #1 burns twice as fast as everyone else β a throne tax. Getting to the top is cheap. Staying there is the expensive part.
Some real numbers from it:
$1,000 of heat holds #1 for about 4 hours against a $900 rival.
Holding that spot steady costs roughly $1,780/day.
Five projects all sitting at $1,000? The throne changes hands ~1,400 times in 24h.
The bit I'm quietly pleased with: because everything decays at known rates, the moment #2 overtakes #1 is a solvable equation rather than a guess. So the leader sees a live countdown to losing it, and you see exactly how long your money buys before you spend it.
β crypto only (ETH, SOL, BTC, USDC), no accounts, no signup
Go take the throne. See how long you hold it.
Listing on a DEX gets you a price.
It doesn't get you attention.
Your pair is live β and it's one row in a scanner nobody scrolls past. Liquidity is solved at launch. Visibility isn't, and it never solves itself.

Yeah, Outbid definitely inspired the core mechanic π
The difference weβre exploring is making it specifically useful for crypto projects β where attention is insanely competitive β and adding Heat decay so leaderboard spots are temporary and constantly contested.
Appreciate it, hoping we can carve out our own lane with it.
@basitaminbhatti Building ThroneTax β a web app where crypto projects compete for visibility on a leaderboard using Heat that decays over time.
Trying to solve the problem of new projects getting buried right after launch.
Happy to connect with other builders.
